11 Ridge Street, Merewether

A Merewether trophy home has been sold for $6.04m through Tahnee Burke and Lyndall Allan of Salt Property. They marketed the home as having “all the facilities you would expect from a five- star hotel, while also providing a calming sense of seclusion and tranquillity.”

Set on 696 sqm, the house was designed by architect Chris Tucker and built by Todd Blatchford, with two levels plus a rooftop terrace. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom abode has a self-contained pool house and spa. There is a space above the double garage with a kitchenette, bathroom, and balcony.

The Ridge Street holding last sold for $685,000 in 2002.

Merewether’s highest sale was oceanfront parkside on Berner Street last July for $11.05m. The six-bedroom, six-bathroom two-storey residence was built in 2020, overlooking Dixon Park Beach towards the ocean, and featured shortly after its construction on the cover of Hunter & Coastal Lifestyle.
