41 Sapphire Crescent, Merimbula, NSW 2548

When we first stepped into this home, perched high among the eucalypt trees, we immediately felt a sense of calm. There's something so peaceful about being surrounded by nature. The high-pitched ceilings and clerestory windows are genius in the way they bring in that gorgeous northern light - it's like the whole house is bathed in a soft, warm glow all day.

The owners told us it's one of the things they loved most about living here - the way the light changes with the day, the sense of space and airiness. It's a home that feels so private, like a retreat, but never dark or closed in. They've created a space where the sunken living room flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining area, all overlooking the treetops. It's easy to imagine yourself sipping coffee on a quiet morning, feeling completely at peace.

And then there are the little details that make a big difference - the custom cabinetry throughout. It's not just beautiful, but practical too, adding a ton of storage while giving the home an extra layer of sophistication. Every element feels thoughtfully designed, from the modern bathroom with its pitched ceilings to the four bedrooms all tucked on the same level, cozy and warm.

What struck us most, though, is how adaptable this place really is. Whether you're a growing family needing room to move or a couple downsizing to something more manageable, this house just works. There's plenty of space at the front for parking a boat, caravan, or a few cars, but we could also see it transformed into a grassy play area for kids. The owners mentioned how much they appreciated that flexibility - having the option to use the space how they wanted, depending on their needs.

Walking through the front door, the exposed beams and elevated ceilings welcome you into a living area that instantly feels inviting. The natural vistas from every window pull you in. The bathroom, with its soaring ceiling, has that "wow" factor we all love, but it's not just about looks - it's functional and spacious, designed for real life. The laundry is another surprise, connecting seamlessly to the kitchen, with loads of storage and access to the side of the house. It's one of those everyday spaces that's actually a pleasure to use.

And let's talk about comfort - reverse cycle air conditioning keeps the temperature perfect temperature year-round. Whether you're cozying up on the couch in winter or letting the summer breeze flow through the windows, you can enjoy every season without ever feeling the extremes.

There's a hidden gem here too: the extensive under-house storage. We see so much potential in this space - it could easily become an extra room, a home office, or even a self-contained flat (STCA) with its own side access. And with a backyard this big (1,384m² of natural landscape) you have options; you could leave it low-maintenance or get creative and tier it into usable spaces. 

In just moments, you can find yourself in the heart of Merimbula's vibrant main street - the town is practically at your doorstep! Explore charming cafes, local clubs, unique boutiques, and the scenic boardwalk, not to mention the beautiful beaches that make this coastal haven so special. Plus, with Bega just 20 minutes to the north, Eden 20 minutes south, and a variety of quaint villages scattered in between, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the region.

This home is more than just a place to live - it's a space that adapts to you, your life and the way you want to live. We think it's pretty special, and we know you'll feel that too, the moment you walk through the door.
