2/17 Helen Street, Merewether, NSW 2291

Creating a fabulous lifestyle base in a vibrant coastal setting, this gorgeously bright three-bedroom apartment puts you steps from the sand and surf, moments from an array of relaxed eateries, and only a short drive from Newy's CBD. Situated on the top floor within a boutique block of four, the apartment makes the most of its elevated, north-facing position to enhance its light and airy layout, where everything is in place for you to move in and enjoy. Effortless and inviting, the open-plan offers a beautiful hub, seamlessly connected to the tastefully appointed kitchen. Two large bedrooms and a smaller single bedroom are all robed, while the bathroom and separate WC are spotless. Accessed via Busby Lane, parking is provided in a single garage and car space, but with so much on the doorstep, you'll likely leave the car at home. Wander out the front door and find yourself on the beach in moments, where you can take to the surf or stroll along the water up to Memorial Walk. Pack a picnic for the park, stop for lunch at the Surfhouse, or sample some local brews at Modus. If you've been dreaming of relaxed beachside living, you've found it right here!
