77 Kenrick Street, Merewether, NSW 2291

Held within one family for almost 70 years, this character-rich Californian Bungalow sits proudly on blue-ribbon Kenrick Street, where opportunities like this are rarely seen. A true blank canvas in one of The Junction's most coveted pockets, it pairs timeless street appeal with immaculate original features and a layout that's ready for a contemporary transformation. Behind its traditional façade lies a welcoming interior with three double bedrooms, an elegant central lounge, a neat bathroom, and a renovated kitchen connecting to an open-style living and dining zone. High decorative ceilings tell a story of craftsmanship from a bygone era, while split-system air conditioning adds modern-day comfort. And the real kicker? A deep backyard offering untapped scope for garaging, a pool, and a dream extension. Just footsteps from boutique shopping, vibrant dining, and sought-after Hamilton South Public School - not to mention the sand and surf - this is an extraordinary chance to create a legacy home in one of the city's most celebrated streets.
