Merewether 101 Merewether Street
Make This Family Sanctuary Yours with Scope to Add Value on a Large Corner Block
From its corner block position fronting Merewether and Janet Streets on a generous 687sqm landholding, this charming weatherboard bungalow has been a quiet sanctuary for the family who have called it home for the last 35years. A previous extension has created a large second living space, and with three bedrooms, some gorgeous original period features and a 42sqm garage with versatile loft retreat, this is a home you can comfortably move into now, yet have the flexibility off adding value over time. Such a large block will also inspire new home potential with room for a deck and pool, or with dual street frontages, perhaps a dual occupancy, all subject to council approval. The whole family will love living so close to the beach where they can master the surf breaks, swim in the ocean baths or grab a bite to eat at a choice of seaside cafes and restaurants.
