7a Ridge Street, Merewether, NSW 2291

An easy 100m stroll from the beach, this three-bedroom home simply could not be better placed for buyers seeking a beachy retreat brimming with character. Looking fresh and inviting with its bright white façade and decorative eaves, the home boasts beautiful retro vibes once you step inside, which could be left as is, or updated to add value. Spanning a spacious single level, the layout focuses effortless everyday living on a generous open-plan and charming timber kitchen, which extends seamlessly to a private alfresco and super easy-care courtyard. At the back of the home, the master is impressively sized, grouped around two more robed bedrooms. Both the ensuite and main bathroom are tidy, with a laundry, ducted AC and lockup garage adding further practical appeal. Of course, location is a huge drawcard here. Whether you choose to update the home or not, you have an A+ beachside setting to make the most of, where you can tuck your board under your arm and run down to the surf, get a few laps in at the ocean baths before breakfast, or walk to nearby pubs and eateries to catch up with friends.
