• Stunning location and views
• Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas
• Low maintenance living

This large, contemporary, four-bedroom townhouse is super close to town, is very low maintenance and has magnificent elevated views out over Merimbula Bay, the airport and Pambula Beach. What's not to love?

Despite being a townhouse, this home feels as big and spacious as a freestanding home and has a wonderful feeling of space and light. With a functional floor plan spread over two levels, it would easily accommodate a young family or make a perfect seaside weekender.

The good-sized living room on the lower floor would be a great rumpus or tv room for older children or guests, or even a home office or studio space. Bedroom three is queen-sized and has built-in wardrobes, and bedroom four has glass sliding doors out onto courtyard. Also on the lower level is the main bathroom and separate full-size laundry with side external access. There's convenient internal access to the double garage that has extra space for storage. There's also a great, low maintenance backyard and undercover verandah area off the lower living room. This highly versatile outside space has ocean glimpses, low maintenance gardens and handy pull-down blinds to make the verandah space useable in all weather. This fully enclosed space is perfect for kids and pets.

Head upstairs to the main, open-plan living, kitchen and dining area and you're immediately drawn to the elevated north-eastern views that create a striking backdrop. The home's large modern kitchen has an island bench and breakfast bar for casual meals, stone benchtops, dishwasher, electric wall oven and cooktop, great storage and west-facing views from the kitchen sink towards the mountains.This entire space is filled with natural light and cross breezes with windows in every direction, as well as sliding doors opening out onto a covered entertaining deck. Imagine eating breakfast out here in the morning sun as you take in the ocean views and check for whales. The large wrap-around deck has more than enough room for an outdoor table and the barbecue, and there are roll-down blinds in case a southerly is blowing.

The large main bedroom also enjoys the beautiful north east-facing views and has lots of natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding doors out onto the balcony. There's also a walk-through wardrobe that leads into a large ensuite with deep, corner spa bath. Also on the upper level, bedroom two - currently used as a study – has great natural light.

John Close is a hidden gem in Merimbula. A very quiet and highly desirable street in close proximity to the town's CBD and with a beautiful orientation for views out over Merimbula Bay. Just off Monaro Street it's an easy 12-minute walk - or one-minute drive - to town to grab a coffee, buy groceries or enjoy the conveniences of easy, breezy life in Merimbula. On a strata title plan with just one other home next door, this very low maintenance property is a solid build with absolutely nothing to do but move in and add your own style to its neutral, contemporary interior.

This lock-and-leave townhouse would suit downsizers looking for an easy-care property they can come-and-go from, or those looking for their own laid-back coastal retreat for the family to use at their leisure - and perhaps holiday rent when they're not. Enjoy the magnificent views, central location and laid-back coastal lifestyle from 2/8 John Close.
