For 24 years, this home has quietly witnessed the rhythm of family life.
Carefully built by its original owners and lovingly maintained ever since, 36 Southern Cross Boulevard is far more than a house - it is a place where memories have been created, traditions formed, and life has unfolded beautifully. Now, as the owners prepare to downsize, they leave behind a home that has been thoughtfully improved and lovingly prepared for the next family to enjoy.
Positioned on a generous parcel in one of Shell Cove's most peaceful pockets, the home enjoys something truly special - uninterrupted views across the wetlands. With no neighbours directly across the road, each day begins with a sense of calm and openness as the natural landscape becomes part of your daily outlook. It's a view that has been treasured by the owners for decades and one that continues to make this position so unique.
The home itself unfolds across a well-considered split-level design that balances space, functionality and connection. As illustrated in the floor plan.
The upper level forms the true heart of the home. Here, the beautifully renovated kitchen sits centrally, overlooking the dining and family living spaces, so the cook is always part of the conversation. With stone benchtops, quality appliances and thoughtful storage, it is a kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the living and dining areas flow naturally toward the expansive outdoor deck - a space that has hosted countless family barbecues, celebrations and relaxed afternoons. Covered and generous in scale, the alfresco area feels like an extension of the home itself, offering the perfect place to gather with friends while enjoying the peaceful outlook across the wetlands and surrounding greenery.
Accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for family comfort. The home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, with the master suite providing its own private retreat complete with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. The remaining bedrooms are positioned around the family bathroom, creating a practical layout that supports both family life and visiting guests.
Downstairs, a large rumpus or family room provides an incredibly versatile second living zone. Over the years, this space has adapted effortlessly - serving as a children's playroom, teenage retreat, media room and quiet place to unwind. It's a flexible area that allows the home to grow and change alongside the needs of its owners.
Practical features further enhance the appeal of the property. The double garage offers internal access, while the property also provides an off-street parking space for a third vehicle and valuable side and rear access - a rare feature that allows for additional vehicles, trailers, caravans or boats. With dual access backing onto a cul-de-sac and additional street parking available, the home offers a level of convenience that is increasingly hard to find.
Beyond the home itself, the lifestyle on offer is exceptional. From here, you are only moments from the local school, nearby parks and The Links Golf Course and Club. The Marina precinct, with its restaurants, cafes and waterfront boardwalks, is an easy walk away, while the natural beauty of Killalea State Park is close enough for spontaneous coastal walks and beach days.
For the current owners, this home has been the backdrop to 24 years of family life - filled with laughter, milestones and quiet moments looking out across the wetlands. It has been cared for with pride, improved with thoughtful renovations and cherished every step of the way.
Now, it stands ready to welcome its next family - a home full of warmth, character and the promise of many more beautiful memories to come.
