North Lambton 5 Merivale Street
Tightly Held Cul-De-Sac Gem, North Facing with Park Views
Some homes are so deeply cherished that they rarely, if ever, come onto the market, like this classic three-bedroom gem that's been in the same family since it was built 57 years ago. Lovingly maintained and updated over the years, it now features a sparkling pool, a solar system, and solar hot water, all ready for a new family to move in and enjoy. Why has this home been so tightly held? Perhaps it's the peaceful cul-de-sac, where neighbours feel like friends, and the kids play street games together. Or maybe it's the due north-facing aspect, filling the lounge with soft, natural light and offering charming views up to North Lambton dog park from the sun-kissed front verandah. And for those who like to tinker, the oversized garage and workshop under the home, along with a secure carport for extra parking, are real highlights.
Set in a peaceful spot that's close to everything-entertainment, parks, cafes, boutique shopping, and even the local corner pubs-you're just minutes from the university and key roads. Plus, Newcastle's vibrant CBD and stunning beaches are only a 15-minute drive or a short hop on public transport.
