Inside a retreat-like home immersed in nature

29 Charlotte Street, Merewether | Property of the Week. Images supplied

Set back from the road in a tranquil pocket of Merewether, this tri-level residence offers a rainforest retreat mere moments from the surf and sand of beautiful Newcastle beaches.

Mike Flook, of Robinson Property, has listed the tranquil family sanctuary at 29 Charlotte Street and expectations are believed to be in the high $2 million range.

The home is set back from the road on a 1162 square metre bush block.

It has been designed to hug the landscape across all three levels, immersing its occupants in nature. Apex ceilings, skylights and a clever use of windows ensures there is light-filled living throughout.

Four spacious bedrooms and a bathroom are on the upper level.

On the middle level, a formal lounge features a combustion fireplace and bush outlook. The kitchen is well-equipped for effortless entertaining and transitions seamlessly to a large, wrapround deck.

The lower level offers a guest residence or teenage retreat with two large bedrooms, separate entry and direct access to the property's in-ground pool. There is also a double garage with workshop.

The property is zoned for Merewether Heights Public School and is located within minutes from Merewether Beach, cafes, shops and Newcastle's CBD.

It is set for auction on July 24 and open on Saturday at 10.15am.
