Positioned within an exceedingly rare beachside enclave of only a handful of homes cossetted by the Merricks Creek Reserve, this two-storey seaside hideaway is awash in coastal serenity and balmy bay breezes just 150m to the yacht club and foreshore.

The epitome of laidback beachside living for permanent residents or holidaymakers, the four-bedroom abode offers a flexible configuration with two living areas, kitchen facilities on both levels, a choice of alfresco zones and a large bedroom on the lower level with a bifold divider to easily create a fifth bedroom.

Doused in radiant north-facing light, the residence is defined by high ceilings and polished timber floors lending a relaxed coastal aesthetic throughout, while a striking contemporary kitchen impresses with waterfall-edge stone benchtops, a dishwasher, an integrated fridge and a Miele oven and an induction cooktop.

A dedicated dining zone spills out via tall sliding glass doors to a tranquil terrace to dine outdoors, with a vast north-facing balcony with sun awning through dual sets of bifold doors on the upper level providing a soothing space to relax with a sunset cocktail directly gazing out across the treetops of the picturesque reserve.

Just 400m to the gourmet delights of the Tulum Store and a short zip to the village, the solid-brick home includes two fully modernised bathrooms, a kitchenette/wet bar, gas log fireplace, split-system airconditioning and carport all set behind an electronic gated entry and the horseshoe driveway.
