When you walk through the Verdigris snake skin entry door of 49 Ridge Street Merewether, you'll know you're walking into a very special beachside residence. The impression is most evident that the home has been architecturally designed to incorporate your favourite hotel room, holiday resort and dream home all effectively into one.
A spacious light-filled entry with impressive mezzanine greets you along with 133mm wide gloss-finish Brushbox timber flooring, which adds to the captivating first impression - yet there's so much more to come. Immediately off the entry is the theatre room with its bespoke cabinetry, feature walling and Bose surround sound system, the perfect space for any movie buff to escape.
You then arrive at the dining room which is separated from the hallway by metallic infused architectural glass panels and has a divider wall into the family room. The family and kitchen areas lie ahead with a view to the outside entertaining area, complete with pool and established garden.
The Kitchen's focal point is a marble island bench which spans over three metres and screams New York and is complemented by the European appliances. Adjacent is a butler's Kitchen complete with sink and dish washer and enough pantry storage to house absolutely everything. The Family Room and Kitchen overlook the outdoor entertainment area housing custom cabinetry with dishwasher, BBQ and sink then spills out onto the beautiful mottled slate surround of the pool and the surprise of a substantial lawn area.
The laundry abounds with storage and a separate toilet services the pool and entertainment areas. A Study and the very stylish Italian tiled Powder Room complete the ground level.
Upstairs features four large bedrooms with ocean glimpses from the main bedroom which doubles as a Parents Retreat, and offers a five star bathroom sized ensuite and panelled walk-in robe. The main bathroom lies between 2 of the bedrooms, so everyone feels like they have their own ensuite, and it features a deep free-standing bath and luxury oversized shower. A huge sitting/entertainment room overlooks the pool and backyard, making this a perfect teenagers retreat or 5th Bedroom if required.
The basement level features garaging for 4 cars plus room for a gym, and a huge storage room with custom made shelving separate to the garage. There is also another storage room which is divided and designed to hang and store separately all your ski gear/surf boards at one end while the other half serves as a wine cellar.
The attention to detail and construction is exemplary and special, with clever use of innovative and unique textures and products, cleverly combined in this craftsmen built residence. The individual reverse cycle air-conditioning units allow complete zone control in every room, ducted vacuum system throughout, security system, high square-set ceilings, and state of the art fixtures and fittings are just some of the inclusions showcased throughout the home. The exterior finishes include pebbled front garden, marine grade stainless steel downpipes, polished and honed brickwork and slate paving, all of which beautifully compliment the wonderful features that await you through the amazing front feature door.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire this magnificent family home in this most sought after lifestyle location, just perfect for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle abode with care free access to the beaches, baths, highly regarded schools, café's and coastal walk ways. The inner city, harbour foreshore and preferred shopping centres are only a five minute drive away, so all the ingredients of fine family living are here, awaiting you!
