Homes in Sunshine Beach have always been a sought after commodity, and with land in short supply, well positioned older homes are often the next best thing. The recent sale of a similar sized block only a couple doors away at $900k makes the asking price of this Ross Crescent beach house less than its replacement value.
The unassuming brick and timber home has been nestled on its leafy corner site for over 25 years, cherished by only two loving owners. In its heyday, the house enjoyed ocean views up and down the coast, but maturing trees and recent developments have left just the roar of the pounding surf as a reminder of its proximity to the beach. The pride of local builder Denis Trethewy, the soaring vaulted ceilings lined in mellow timbers lend a sense of light and space to the open plan living on the upper level of the home. Banks of glass sliders open to a covered timber terrace protected from the street by a glorious pandanus and the gnarled and twisted limbs of coastal banksias. Quiet moments reading in the filtered winter sun are interspersed with the chatter of the local birds.
More raucous family fiestas have flowed out to the lushly planted courtyard garden with fiddlewood and tuckeroo trees adorning its quiet corners and winding pathways opening to sunny timber podiums and almost Tuscan paved suntraps sheltered by glossy citrus and waving palms.
The expansive living area offers a media space at one end and kitchen and powder room at the other while a light filled office hugs the corner of the home with a leafy outlook across the wrap around terrace and down the quiet cul-de-sac. With a beach access across the road and the local shopping village only a short stroll away, this light and breezy beach house brings a warmth and charm to the lives of its inhabitants.
Three double bedrooms on the lower level share a full bathroom and separate laundry, the main bedroom opens out to the Northern garden sheltered from blustering coastal breezes. For those with a pent up desire to take up the drums, there is an air conditioned studio equipped with acoustic insulation to ensure your loved ones can maintain their sanity.
