Beautifully renovated beach house with studio and bold concept plans

This classic Merewether beach house already delivers easy, polished living today, with the exciting bonus of a bold future vision ready to step into when the time feels right. Just a relaxed five-minute stroll from the sand, this home captures everything people love about this pocket of Merewether: salty air, an active beach culture, and the kind of neighbourhood where mornings start with a coffee in hand and bare feet on the footpath.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully modernised for real family life. Ten-foot ceilings and original timber floors bring warmth and scale, while ducted a/c keeps things comfortable year-round. The island kitchen is a standout, leaning into French provincial character with shaker cabinetry, a Falcon gas range, Butler sink, and plenty of bench space for everyday cooking. Three well-proportioned bedrooms with built-ins are serviced by a beautifully finished, fully tiled bathroom.

Outdoors, a covered deck sets the scene for entertaining, a separate barbecue zone makes hosting effortless, and the lush buffalo lawn gives kids space to play. Tucked away at the rear, a separate studio retreat with its own bathroom and air conditioning adds serious flexibility for teenagers, guests, or a work-from-home setup that doesn’t spill into family space. Parking is equally well sorted, with a carport, oversized single garage, and additional off-street space.

What truly elevates this opportunity, though, is what comes next. The property now includes concept plans by Anthrosite Architects for a striking contemporary three-storey beach house. Designed to take full advantage of the setting, the vision introduces expansive top-level living and a master suite positioned to capture scenic ocean views, transforming an already outstanding location into a long-term coastal statement (STCA).

Set moments from Merewether Beach and the Ocean Baths, and close to local favourites like The Beach Hotel and Merewether Surfhouse, this is a home that works beautifully now, with a clear pathway to something extraordinary later.
