About this property

Welcome to 170 Somerville Street, a spacious and beautifully presented family home in popular Waverley, offering a flexible four-bedroom, two-bathroom floor plan with room for everyone. Set on an established section, there is just enough outdoor space to enjoy without demanding your weekends, making this an ideal option for the busy modern-day family. Add excellent off-street parking, a generous double garage with internal access and a low-maintenance exterior, and the practicalities are well covered. At the heart of the home is the beautiful modern kitchen, where composite stone waterfall benchtops create a stylish centrepiece. Lovely timber flooring flows throughout the kitchen, dining and living zone, bringing warmth and continuity to this everyday family space. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area connects effortlessly with a wraparound balcony, providing a wonderful spot to sit in the afternoon sunshine and enjoy the coastal outlook, with glimpses of the sea. Through lovely glass doors, a second separate lounge welcomes the morning sun and provides valuable flexibility, whether it is a quiet retreat, a space for the kids or simply another living zone for family life. The accommodation is cleverly arranged across two levels. On the first level are two generous bedrooms, both with built-in storage, serviced by a lovely family bathroom with a shower over the bath and gorgeous modern vanity, alongside a separate toilet. Upstairs are a further two bedrooms, again with built-in storage. The master bedroom enjoys its own ensuite, cleverly designed with dual access so it can also conveniently service children or guests occupying the second upstairs bedroom. Comfort has been well considered throughout. The home is fully double glazed and substantially insulated, with a centrally positioned wood burner and heat pump providing easy year-round warmth. A new Colorsteel roof was installed in 2025, adding another significant improvement to this well-maintained family home. Outside, the established grounds offer enough space for children and family life without creating an endless list of weekend jobs. The low-maintenance exterior adds further appeal, while the double garage, internal access and additional off-street parking make everyday living that little bit easier. And then there is the location. The park behind the house is a lovely bonus for families, with a newly installed playground approximately a one-minute walk away, perfect for an easy outing with the children. Waverley continues to be such a popular choice for families, with an excellent selection of schooling nearby, including Andersons Bay School, Grants Braes School, Bayfield Kindergarten, St Brigid's School and Bayfield High School. Musselburgh, Andersons Bay and Waverley amenities are all within easy reach, while Bayfield Park and the inlet are just down the road, providing further opportunities to walk and enjoy the harbourside setting. Generous without being overwhelming, modern and comfortable, 170 Somerville Street offers the space and adaptability families need through every stage of life. Our relocating vendors have loved living here and will be sad to say goodbye to their family home, but their next chapter is calling and they are looking forward to achieving a sale on or before auction day. To be sold by auction on 23 October, unless sold prior.
