- Stunning ocean views
- Three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom
- Solid brick with lots of character
Filled to the brim with retro charm and with spectacular coastal views from almost every room, this original 1980s home offers a flexible floorplan and space for the whole family.
Rich in original character, with the bonus of a renovated downstairs bathroom, the home showcases quirky 1980s features including internal brick, arched doorways, earthy slate tiles, timber detailing and amber-hued glass.
The home's centrepiece is its light and inviting open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with the spectacular Merimbula coastline as its backdrop. Two sets of glass sliding doors connect the central living space to a large north-east facing entertaining deck and allow great airflow and plenty of natural light into the home. The partially-covered deck runs the full length of the house and doubles the home's living space. There's more than enough space here for the whole family to spread out and enjoy the stunning views looking towards Short Point headland, the Lake, Fishpen and Bar Beach.
The original 1980s kitchen has loads of storage space, an updated dishwasher and freestanding electric oven, and stunning kitchen sink views. Also on the upper level is a separate powder room, two linen/storage cupboards and the large main bedroom. The bedroom has a wall of glass doors and windows out onto the deck meaning the beautiful elevated coastal views are on full display here too. There's also a large built-in wardrobe and a convenient and totally accessible (no screens, doors or steps) ensuite bathroom.
Downstairs there's bedroom two, a large family-sized laundry and renovated modern main bathroom with separate bath and shower. Also on the lower level is a very large and highly versatile third bedroom with its own original kitchenette. The possibilities for this multi-functional space are endless. You could build a dividing wall to create two bedrooms, or one bedroom and a separate sitting/rumpus room. It could also be used as a dedicated guest space or a 'granny flat' for adult children or other family. It would also make a great yoga studio, home gym or teenager's retreat. This space can also be accessed separately from the rest of the house via side access from the front driveway.
The home has a large double garage with direct internal access to the home's upper level. The fully-fenced private backyard has low maintenance gardens and a lovely level, retained area of lawn. The approx. 592m2 property backs onto a council-managed recreation reserve which provides a leafy green canopy at the rear of the home and ensures extra privacy with no neighbours over the back fence.
Old Tathra Road is a quiet cul-de-sac of mostly owner-occupied houses just two minutes' drive to the Merimbula CBD and the pristine Sapphire Coast waterways you can see from your home. Check the weather conditions from your balcony, then head off in search of a wave, a swim or a stroll around the foreshore.
Whether you want to lean into the 80s nostalgia or are imagining a more modern refurb, this solid brick home, with spectacular coastline views, is filled with character and possibilities.
