Merewether 10 Robert Street
Character, Comfort and Coastal Living Just 500m to Beach
Originally a classic worker's cottage, this smartly updated three bedroom home balances timeless charm with modern comfort. Tall timber-lined ceilings, 6-inch Oregon floorboards and an elegant timber staircase celebrate its heritage, while a thoughtfully designed second storey creates a practical family layout. Just 500m from Merewether Beach, it's an address that puts the ocean, cafes, and The Junction within an easy stroll.
Recent improvements make the home even more appealing. New carpet, plantation shutters and split-system air conditioning provide year-round comfort, while an electrical upgrade and Crimsafe security screens offer added peace of mind. A new maintenance-free rear deck enclosed with Ziptrak blinds creates approximately 25sqm of all-weather outdoor living, equally suited to entertaining, relaxed breakfasts or unwinding after the beach.
The flexible floorplan places the main bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor alongside a welcoming lounge with gas fireplace and an open plan kitchen and dining area flowing between the front verandah and rear deck. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a powder room, home office and generous attic storage provide excellent separation.
Walk to Merewether Beach, Dixon Park and the Ocean Baths, with local favourites including Modus Brewery, The Prince and the Burwood Hotel all close by. Excellent schools and the CBD are only minutes away.
