'Merewether House' - Step into History, Stay for the Luxury
Built in 1910, this iconic Merewether home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury on an elevated 640.5sqm block. The home's panoramic 180-degree views of Merewether, Bar Beach, and the city are captivating day and night.
The Federation gem, restored with no expense spared, features intricate plaster ceilings, leadlight windows, two cast iron fireplaces, and a bespoke whisky room with the original whisky cabinet. Spread across formal and casual living areas, four bedrooms plus an office, and three bathrooms, the layout offers space for everyone. The wrap-around verandah is ideal for enjoying ocean breezes and magical sunrises or sunsets.
At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen with a waterfall marble countertop and top-tier appliances. The adjoining conservatory dining area, with panoramic views and a turreted chandelier, offers a dining experience straight out of a period drama. The master suite is a private retreat with a sky-lit sitting area, walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious ensuite. Step outside to discover the private plunge pool-a perfect spot to unwind.
A quick bike ride or drive brings you to the beach, Honeysuckle's harbourside, and The Junction's lively precinct. Plus, you're just minutes from Lingard Private Hospital.
