17 James Street

Rediscover a world of retro wonder and the beauty of a bygone era within an exclusive Currumbin Headland enclave. Nestled high among the treetops, mere minutes from world-class surf breaks and boasting breathtaking views of the golden coastline, this 410m2 home on an elevated 827m2 block is a time capsule of pure vintage charm. Held by the same family for three generations and released for sale for the first time, if these walls could talk, they'd no doubt be brimming with tales of a storied past. Birthday or anniversary celebrations spent in the expansive upper or lower level lounges, with wide windows and doors inviting in endless Pacific Ocean views. Decadent drinks at the antique bar, complete with moody lighting and "speakeasy" ambience, or decanting a bottle from the authentic cellar, to be enjoyed on one of the two balconies basking in coastline views that sprawl past Elephant Rock towards Coolangatta. Or perhaps even a long lazy brunch in the paved, open-air entertaining courtyard, with family and friends able to retire to one of the five bedrooms after the festivities end. It's all here, and it's ready for a new family to make a legacy of magical memories. Built to last, with full concrete and double brick construction, it oozes eclectic character throughout. Largely untouched but in outstanding condition, a fusion of styles weave together, referencing art deco and Mediterranean inspiration. Stunning raked timber-clad ceilings combine with an abundance of arches, wrought iron detailing, geometric shapes, leadlight glass and brick finishes, evoking a world where history comes alive. Infinitely comfortable as is, you could move straight in and marvel at its nostalgic charm, capitalise on its quirky character as an Airbnb or tv/film set, or tastefully refurbish to make it your own. Whatever your choice, you'll be doing so in a location that offers a laidback lifestyle to love. Grab your board and chase waves at nearby Currumbin Alley, grabbing a morning coffee at Salt Mill and Barefoot Barista on your way home. Palm Beach, Tugun and Bilinga Beach are also close, offering a range of shops, eateries and business amenities to meet your every need. This is a unique opportunity to be the next great custodians of a rare historic haven. Arrange your inspection today.
