Modern Queenslander with water views adjoining National Park
Built in 2009 in the traditional Queenslander style is this elegant home which enjoys an elevated position backing onto the hills of the National Park as well as panoramic views over Horseshoe Bay to the blue waters of the Coral Sea and all the way to Hinchinbrook Island on a clear day.
With both internal and external staircases, downstairs can be a fully self-contained separate granny flat or can be incorporated into a larger traditional family home. Upstairs is a spacious 3 bedroom, two bathroom home with living, dining and kitchen whilst downstairs adds a further bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living as well as a large laundry/store room.
This is the ideal entertainers house with the main living area opening onto the large covered front deck and directly onto the pool deck to the rear. From the pool deck, a stone staircase brings you up to the romantic 'Sunset Bar', where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets over the bay, although they are equally as good from the main front deck of the house - or the 'G&T room', a louvred room accessed directly from the deck or the walk-through-robe of the master bedroom suite!
The master bedroom is extremely spacious and includes a roomy ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and walk-in shower. The large second bedroom also opens onto a louvred area of the verandah, which makes an ideal gym or craft area, whilst the smallest third bedroom is still a generous queen size, all with built-in-wardrobes and of course air con to all bedrooms and living areas throughout. The upstairs family bathroom has a separate bath, shower and vanity whilst a separate powder room and toilet is just down the hall.
Hardwood floors, high ceilings and classic queenslander features such as french doors, latticework, breezeways, wide verandah, louvres and ornate timber fretwork all add to the style and quality finishes of this home. The kitchen includes stone benchtops, island bench, plenty of storage, water views from the kitchen sink, dishwasher and gas cooktop for the budding chef.
Internal hardwood stairs descend from the main living area to the downstairs laundry/storeroom, off which is the granny flat's living area with full kitchen and opening onto the front garden through sliding glass doors. A hallway leads to a bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet, and the fourth bedroom, which is again large by most people's standards, with built-in-wardrobes.
To the rear of the house is a great storage area for bikes, kayaks, garden tools etc with plenty of parking for vehicles in the carport and on the driveway, as well as on street for visitors.
Horseshoe Bay itself offers a selection of cafes, restaurants and shops as well as regular markets, watersports, sailing trips and year-round swimming on it's sandy north-facing beach. A ten minute scenic drive brings you to the ferry terminal and facilities of Nelly Bay - medical, bank, post office, supermarkets etc.
This home has long been the envy of people who drive past it and is sure to be an attractive proposition for those looking for their island home or holiday home. Contact Alex to arrange a private inspection by appointment only.
