Embracing all the fabulous tranquility of Merricks Beach with the whisper of the ocean in the air, this classic light and airy three-bedroom seaside home is just footsteps from the sand.

Providing all the ingredients as a magical weekender or permanent home surrounded by beaches, wineries, horse-riding trails and the nearby cafes and restaurants of Balnarring village, the large level 891sqm allotment offers privacy with a sunny alfresco deck to entertain and lush lawn for children to play.

Radiating plenty of beachy chic with exposed truss ceilings and polished timber floors, the open-plan living and dining area includes a modern kitchen with large stainless steel stove, dishwasher and plenty of bench and cupboard space to cater for friends and family.

A sleek travertine-tiled bathroom with a frameless glass shower, bath and suspended vanity is backed up by a separate powder room and shower, all three bedrooms have built-in robes and concertina doors from the living area open to the deck.

Set behind secure entry gates with landscaped gardens and ample off-street parking, this is the ideal no-fuss holiday retreat in one of the peninsula’s most tightly held beachside areas.
