Merewether 90 Rowan Crescent
Coastal Lifestyle Meets Value-Add Potential in Family Favourite Location
The Rowan Crescent position has long been a favourite for families chasing the ultimate family lifestyle location, a strong sense of community, and front-row access to Gibbs Brothers Oval. Homes here are tightly held and rarely enter the market and when they do, they're often snapped up by younger families looking to renovate and make it their own and that's exactly the opportunity that we present to you with this much-loved family home.
Held by one family since it was built in 1974, this solid split-level brick home is as original as they come with retro light fittings, timber features, and a kitchen straight out of the '70s. Sitting proudly on a 663.9sqm block that climbs gently from the street, the home captures north-westerly views across the oval. There's a spacious layout with two separate living areas, dining room, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a huge swimming pool out back. Add in a double garage plus extra parking for the boat or motorhome, and you've got the bones of something truly special.
The lifestyle on offer for all the family is one to envy, just a 10-minute stroll gets you to the surf, ocean baths, or your morning coffee at Blue Door. Grab lunch at the Beach Hotel or meet friends at Surfhouse, with Llewellyn Street shops and cafés just under 1km away, and The Junction precinct's boutiques, dining, and highly regarded schools close by.
