$1,235,000
After 40 years, 2 Doyle Place is opening its doors to a new owner. A home with character, warmth and a story of its own; perhaps the next chapter belongs to you, and perhaps you'll be here enjoying these views for the next 40 years.
Some homes are simply different, and 2 Doyle Place is one of them.
Warm, welcoming and filled with character, this wonderfully individual Merimbula home captures the charm of its classic 1970s origins while incorporating thoughtful modern touches throughout. From the moment you step inside, rich timber tones, exposed timber rafters, warm white tones and earthy-toned exposed face brickwork create an inviting sense of warmth and nostalgia, while commanding views stretch across Merimbula Lake, Merimbula Bay and the coastline beyond.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the sunken lounge room, where the view takes centre stage. Large windows draw the ever-changing coastal landscape inside, creating the wonderful feeling that you are sitting amongst the scenery. Plantation shutters and contemporary glass light fittings complement the home's original character, while the impressive statement fireplace becomes the perfect gathering point on a cool evening. It's the sort of room where you can imagine spending countless winters with a glass of red wine, watching the fire, looking across the water and simply enjoying being home.
The open-plan living area flows naturally through to the kitchen and dining spaces, with the kitchen itself adding another layer of warmth and personality. Beautiful timber cabinetry is framed by a striking brick archway, while electric cooking and a dishwasher provide the everyday practicality. Beyond the kitchen, the breakfast and informal dining area captures beautiful northern sunlight, with clerestory windows drawing natural light deep into the space. It would make an equally lovely spot for your morning coffee, breakfast with the family or a quiet reading nook.
Outside, the upgraded covered deck is an extension of the living space and the perfect place to slow down. Enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh coastal air, settle in for an afternoon drink or simply sit back and take in the ever-changing outlook across the water.
The main bedroom is generously proportioned and features dual built-in robes, large windows dressed with plantation shutters, pleasant garden views and TV points. The second bedroom also includes built-in robes and enjoys a lovely northern garden outlook. The upstairs bathroom provides a separate bath and shower, while a separate powder room adds convenience for family and guests.
Then comes one of the home's most intriguing features - the completely separate downstairs accommodation.
With its own driveway access, the lower level is effectively its own private space, offering two bedrooms, a bathroom, separate powder room, living area and kitchen. It provides excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, teenagers, additional accommodation or simply having somewhere completely separate to retreat to.
And if the main home celebrates its 1970s character, downstairs embraces it wholeheartedly. The retro kitchen is a genuine time capsule, with bold red benchtops, classic brickwork, retro-style tiled splashback and vintage-inspired oven and cooktop. It's full of personality and provides a wonderful reminder of the era in which this home was created, while the adjoining living area once again enjoys a great water outlook.
The gardens surrounding the home are established and beautifully settled, with pathways winding through the greenery and creating little spaces to explore and enjoy. On the northern side, another deck captures the winter sunshine and provides yet another place to sit back and relax.
Practicality hasn't been forgotten either, with an additional external laundry and storage area, further storage beneath the home and a double garage providing plenty of room for vehicles, equipment and all the extras that come with coastal living.
Set quietly within a cul-de-sac, the home enjoys a peaceful position while remaining only moments by car from the centre of Merimbula. Cafes, restaurants, shops, lake walks and the coastline are all within easy reach, with Main Beach just a few minutes' drive away.
After four decades, the story of 2 Doyle Place is ready to continue. Maybe you'll add your own chapter, create your own memories and, just like the current owners, find yourself still enjoying this very special home 40 years from now.
A home with soul, a view that never gets old and a character you simply can't manufacture. Welcome to 2 Doyle Place.
