Merewether Heights luxury home tipped for a record-breaking sale

A property in Merewether Heights described as having “the perfect floorplan for a family” is tipped to break the suburb record.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 32 Elsworth Parade is listed for sale via expressions of interest with Belle Property agents Anthony Di Nardo and Jackson Morgan.

A price guide was not available, however, Mr Morgan expects the property to surpass the suburb’s residential sale record.

The record price paid for a house in Merewether Heights was set in March 2023 with the $2.85 million sale of a luxury home at 25 View Street.

The listing has drawn strong interest from buyers since it was listed on June 20, with more than 35 enquiries within the first day on the market.

CoreLogic records show the property was last sold in 2007 for $535,000.

Set on 613 square metres, the current owners built the home which spans two levels, with multiple living areas including an outdoor entertaining area.

The covered alfresco area has an outdoor kitchen overlooking the in-ground swimming pool.

“As far as it goes with family homes, I don’t think I have seen a floorplan that has been perfected so well, whether it’s a younger family or an older family,” Mr Morgan said.

“It has three living areas, including a rumpus upstairs, another one downstairs and an open-plan living that leads out to the pool.

“It has a master bedroom and bedroom two is on the same floor as the master and also has an ensuite which really opens it up to the flexibility of multi-generational living or, if you have a newborn, having the nursery there so you are close by.

“It has a flat, level backyard with a pool which you can see from the kitchen, living and dining, so as far as it goes for family homes, it has the perfect floorplan.”

The property has a three-car garage with a mud room and internal access to the house.

The first floor has an open-plan living, dining and kitchen with an island bench and polished concrete flooring.

There is a home office and two bedrooms, both with ensuites, including the master with a walk-in robe, and two living areas, with one flowing out to the alfresco area and pool.

The second level has an additional three bedrooms, a main bathroom and a third living space.

Features include louvre windows and bi-fold doors for crossflow ventilation.

Expressions of interest close on July 25.

Both properties fetched $1.875 million in May.
