Merewether 19 Watkins Street
Custom Luxury with Three Beaches & The Junction a Stroll Away
There's a lot to love about living where Merewether, The Junction and Bar Beach meet, and this custom-built Torrens title home puts it all within easy reach. Just five years old, it pairs sharp contemporary architecture with top-shelf finishes and exceptional attention to detail throughout. Approximately 200sqm of internal space delivers two separate living areas, three spacious bedrooms, two luxe bathrooms and a double garage. Best of all, you can leave the car behind for much of the weekend, walking to Bar Beach, Dixon Park and Merewether for a swim or surf, or The Junction and Darby Street for coffee, shopping and dinner.
Set behind an electric driveway gate on an easy-care 231sqm block, the home has been designed to capture beautiful northeasterly light and cross breezes. The main living and dining area is bright and spacious, warmed by a gas fireplace and opening on two sides to the covered alfresco and private garden. The kitchen is where the custom approach really comes into its own, with abundant prep and storage space, an integrated fridge/freezer, wine fridge, two pyrolytic ovens and handy appliance/breakfast cupboard. A Billi tap delivers instant boiling and chilled water, while a second dishwasher in the butler's pantry earns its keep when you're entertaining.
Upstairs, a second living area gives everyone another place to retreat, alongside three spacious bedrooms and a beautifully finished family bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and remote-opening Velux skylight. The oversized main bedroom steps things up with a wall of robes, ensuite and walk-in dressing room complete with custom storage and its own make-up station.
