68 Smith St, Merewether NSW 2291

The elegant entrance welcomes you with its high ceilings, ornate ceiling rose and decorative timber fretwork. There are 3 bedrooms, all with built-ins and ceiling fans, a formal lounge with balcony which could potentially be used as a 4th bedroom, plus 2 contemporary bathrooms. Pristine floorboards lead you through the corniced arch to the real lifestyle highlight – here, open plan living with large kitchen flows seamlessly to the spacious outdoor entertaining deck via vast windows and double glass doors. The stunning gas kitchen has an island bench and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, 2 stand-out pendant lights and a quirky wine rack built right into the wall. Light fills the air-conditioned living space, offering a warm, welcoming ambiance just begging for guests to entertain. Take them out to the spacious back deck, the perfect vantage point to sit with a mezze plate and sangria on a sunny afternoon.

The perfectly-level block is highlighted by a spacious, immaculately manicured lawn, with easy-care, attractive gardens laid with fresh bark and a tall privacy hedge lining the side wall. The wide driveway to the side of the house leads to a single lock up garage and allows plenty of off-street parking.

And of course, location, location, location! There is a reason Merewether is one of Newcastle's most desirable suburbs – hit the beaches, parks and shops, pick your favourite café or restaurant, or head into Newcastle CBD. Public transport options and top-ranked schools are all nearby. Lifestyle, charm and luxury – this exquisite home has it all.
