A stunning piece of Merewether's coastal heritage has hit the market, offering a unique blend of period elegance and contemporary living with breathtaking panoramic ocean views. The three-bedroom home at the exclusive Kilgour Avenue will go to auction on Tuesday, November 25, with an auction guide of $5,500,000.
A Seamless Blend of Old and New
Perched on a northeast corner block, this residence captures the essence of beachside living. The home masterfully marries its original character features, including leadlight windows, high ceilings, and rich timber floors, with a thoughtful modern renovation designed for today's lifestyle.
The bright, open floorplan is enhanced with elegant new plantation shutters. At its heart is a contemporary kitchen, fully equipped for both daily family meals and entertaining, featuring a gas cooktop, wall oven, and a double dish drawer.
A Restful Retreat with Outdoor Appeal
The home offers three bedrooms, with two featuring built-in robes and one equipped with air conditioning for comfort. For quiet moments, there is a separate lounge room, while a beautiful north-facing sunroom is bathed in natural light throughout the year.
Outside, established gardens create a private oasis surrounding a covered tiled alfresco area, perfect for relaxed outdoor dining. Adding to the property's practicality is a substantial freestanding garage (8.4m x 5.8m) which includes an extra toilet. The home also benefits from rooftop solar panels, helping to reduce running costs.
An Unbeatable Coastal Location
According to listing agent Lyndall Allan from Salt Property, the property's position is its crowning glory. "With million-dollar views and front-row seats to the ocean's daily show, this beachside beauty is the kind of home that rarely comes along," she says.
"Tucked into an exclusive enclave just metres from the sand, you're a barefoot stroll to Bar Beach and a vantage point that's simply unbeatable." The property is set on the edge of the iconic Bathers' Way coastal walk, and its views are protected, ensuring the panoramic ocean outlook remains permanent.
For those dreaming of more space, there is potential to add a second storey (STCA), which could elevate the views to another level. The location offers unparalleled convenience, with Empire Park and Bar Beach Bowling Club directly across the road. The vibrant cafés, boutiques, and services of The Junction and Darby Street are also just a short stroll away.
"Living here means the beach is basically your backyard," adds Lyndall. "And when the whales and dolphins make an appearance, it's all part of the view."
