5 Foam Street, Merricks Beach

Inspect by appointment. Enjoying a paramount position just metres from the magic of Merricks Beach, this endearing coastal retreat is brimming with eclectic charm and easy living comfort on an expansive 816sqm approx. in this tightly held, highly revered enclave. Quietly cocooned in idyllic garden surrounds where succulents and natives make maintenance a breeze, the classic single level home embraces the changing seasons with a warm and welcoming interior flowing graciously to abundant outdoor entertaining options. Introduced by French doors, the home’s indelible first impression is highlighted by rustic timber floors throughout an open plan family domain, where a generous living space is warmed by gas, wood fire with a split system air conditioning. An intimate dining zone sits adjacent to a character rich chef’s kitchen and adjoining Butler’s pantry. Quality European appliances and abundant storage enhance the appeal of effortless entertaining, while a leafy outlook introduces lashings of natural light. Also beautifully illuminated are four sparkling bedrooms and a brand new bathroom, beautifully curated to marry flair and function and integrate sympathetically within the rest of the home. Additionally, a handy study/multi purpose space adjoins a front bedroom, and could easily convert to an ensuite or second bathroom as desired. To the rear of the home, a laundry and handy storage nook opens to an expansive rear deck, partly covered for year round enjoyment, where the morning sun beckons and a freestanding bath is testament to the peace and privacy of its idyllic surrounds. On a quiet coastal lane with ‘local traffic only’ access, this seaside haven is just steps from public tennis courts and only 200 metres further to the Merricks Yacht Club and a short drive to the renowned Merricks General Store and Balnarring Village. With exceptional credentials as a permanent lifestyle retreat or weekend getaway, this superbly located and lovingly curated home has also enjoyed outstanding, ongoing success in the lucrative holiday rental arena.
