Auction Location: Friendly Auction Online - Live via Buy.Realtair.com Website. Reigning over an elevated double block with an impressive 30.48m frontage taking in blockbuster northerly views of the beach, ocean, and city, this distinctive seaside landholding of circa 1,226 sqm is nestled into the hill on the south side of Merewether Beach in a one-way street that counts amongst one of the city's finest addresses. Little more than 350m from the shoreline, you can literally run barefoot with your board for a morning surf or do a few laps in the iconic ocean baths before enjoying breakfast at Blue Door. Walk, run, or cycle the 6km Bathers Ways stretch from your front door to Nobbys Beach or wander down to the Surfhouse for dinner and cocktails with friends. Taking your place at exclusive Lloyd Street allows you to throw yourself into a lifestyle less ordinary. The views from here are truly epic. Wake to magical sunrises over the ocean, pass the hours away watching whales migrate, dolphins frolic and ships sailing into the harbour, and as night falls be captivated as the far-reaching city lights turn into a twinkling wonderland. With lifestyle and location sorted, turn your head to this 1960's architectural marvel, that boasts one of the very few drive-on, drive-off blocks with underground power to street frontage. Aside from the views, a true hero of this property is its beautifully landscaped terraced gardens. The brief to Urban Exotic was to create a private oasis encompassing outdoor entertaining, travertine paved terraces with a relaxing water feature, and a level lawn for kids and adults to play. Separate from the pool at the front, this secret garden is filled with unexpected delights and a luxury resort vibe. Large enough to kick a football or practise your golf swing, this sanctuary is protected from both onshore and southerly winds allowing you to relax or dine in sheltered tranquillity while you take in the mesmerising views through your see-thru home. With most of the hard work already done, the property is calling on you to finish its contemporary renovation. On completion of the approved plans by EJE Architecture, the tri-level home will deliver four en-suited bedrooms including a hotel-worthy parents' retreat on the main level, as well as a study, multiple living spaces backdropped by those spectacular views, and a luxe kitchen with butler's pantry. Every space will reveal impeccable attention to detail thanks to a vision for creating one of Merewether finest properties. Alternatively, choose to bring your own architect and vision and redesign into a home that suits your family's needs and one that is truly worthy of its triple-A beachside setting. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live the dream in this remarkable location.
