Merewether 47 Helen Street
Award-Winning Architectural Brilliance with a Seaside Lifestyle to Match
First time offered, this award-winning architectural home is a masterpiece of thoughtful design and high-end craftsmanship. Designed and project managed by Schreiber and Hamilton, it claimed the 2007 HIA Residential Building Designer of the Year award, and more recently, CKDS Architects have elevated it further with a rear extension and stunning new kitchen.
Spanning three versatile levels, the layout is as functional as it is stylish, with louvre windows and superb insulation enhancing crossflow ventilation, thermal efficiency, and year-round comfort. The private top-floor parents' retreat is a sanctuary, complete with a study, bedroom, and ensuite. The mid-level features a media room that could effortlessly transform into a fourth bedroom if needed, while two additional bedrooms and the main bathroom are tucked away in their own peaceful zone.
On the ground floor, entertaining takes centre stage. A spacious entertainment room with a kitchenette and bathroom flows seamlessly to the electric-heated pool, perfect for year-round enjoyment. Indoor and external stair access from the living and kitchen areas make movement between levels effortless.
The new kitchen is a showstopper with an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, plus Hisense free-standing fridge, premium cooking appliances, clever storage solutions, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the deck and easy-care gardens. The lush greenery of the council-maintained nature strip next door enhances the sense of space and privacy.
And then there's the unbeatable location. With just one neighbour, direct access to the coastal pathway, and Dixon Park Beach literally around the corner, this home delivers the ultimate barefoot seaside lifestyle. Whether it's a morning surf, a stroll along the sand, or coffee at Sunnyboy Kiosk, everything that makes coastal living special is right at your doorstep. Plus, with parks, cafés, dining, and boutique shopping at both Darby Street and The Junction all within walking distance, this is beachside living at its finest.
