Set on what is undoubtedly one of the best positions in Scarborough, this east facing home enjoys the luxury of totally uninterrupted 180 degree views of the beachfront and ocean out to Moreton Island and beyond. Watch the sun rise out of the ocean in the morning, the ever-changing colours of the sky and ocean, the boats and ships sailing past, the full moon rising from the sea, the lights of the night on the sea and land, and the wide open sky and stars at night. You will find that no two days will be the same but all will be entrancing.
This property is one of only a couple of dozen residences that are on this much sought-after elevated section of Flinders Parade, PLUS it has a wide frontage (unlike many other properties in this street). The current dwelling was carefully designed to capture those fabulous views from all the living areas, as well as from the main and second bedrooms.
The home was originally commissioned in the 1970’s by a timber merchant who supplied his best products for the construction. It is built of solid brick, with the street frontage also being rendered. A special feature of the home is the beautiful hardwood timber floors throughout.
The property also has the following features:- – 405m2 block (almost square shape) – fully fenced – Split level design home – with living area on the lower level and bedrooms up a few steps – Double garage and laundry underneath the bedroom section – Entry via the generous front timber deck – Open plan living and dining areas – Adjoining kitchen which has been renovated in recent years – 3 bedrooms – large main bedroom and third bedroom both have built in cupboards – Bathroom with a bath with shower over it and a vanity, plus a separate toilet – Large glass sliding doors from the living room and the main bedroom to the front deck – Security screens and doors, storm shutters on front bedrooms – Hardwood timber floors throughout – polished in living area, and with tiles over in the kitchen and bathroom, and carpets over in the bedrooms – Back deck with stairs to the rear yard
Outside extras include: – – Mature avocado tree behind the house – planted to shade the western summer sun – Assorted garden beds – Garden shed
This home is located in what must be one of the best positions on the Redcliffe Peninsular. It overlooks Queens Beach North, a long section of golden sand suitable for swimming as well as a range of other beach activities. The beachfront walk leads south to Redcliffe with its numerous cafes and restaurants as well as a wide variety of shops. Heading in the other direction is Scarborough Village with a mix of cafes and small businesses, and a wonderfully vibrant local community feeling.
The Scarborough/Redcliffe area has so many added attractions and services –including boat marinas, sporting clubs, water sports, and great cycling opportunities, plus much more. Brisbane City is only a 40 minute drive away and the airport around 25 minutes. Public transport is well catered for as well with local buses plus a train service from Kippa Ring Station, and there is easy access to the motorways north and south. This is a home that you could move into straight away, or you could look at either minor or major renovations. Perhaps you wish to take advantage of this very special opportunity and create the home of your dreams.
Margaret will be holding regular Open Houses, but you are very welcome to phone, text or email and she will be happy to arrange an inspection at a time that is suitable to you.
