IDEAL SEASIDE LIVING ALTERNATIVE
This unique and impressive property started life 3 years ago as a 15 x 9 metre 5 bay heavy duty Stramit colorbond shed on a fully formed concrete slab. The LHS end bay is left open and is ideal undercover parking for the boat. The RHS end bay is now a lovely screened patio perfect for outdoor living and the BBQ. The enclosed 3 bays have been partially transformed into a fantastic modern living space. The structure has been fully insulated and the living areas have been fully tiled and plasterboard lined. Through a glass sliding door from the screened patio you enter the air conditioned open plan living area. You will immediately be impressed by the crisp modern finish and the attention to detail. Adding to the sense of space are the high ceilings which follow the roof line. The modern kitchen features plenty of storage and bench space as well as quality cabinetry and fixtures. There is a beatiful ensuite bathroom off the living areas, small but perfectly formed with shower, w.c and vanity and qualty floor to ceiling tiles with feature accents and earthy tones. The tiled bedroom also features lovely high ceilings and offers more than enough space for a large Queen size ensemble. There is ample built in wardrobe space and a built in study desk for the home computer. The remainder of the structure is devoted to secure lock up parking, laundry facilities, workshop and storage. The property is fully serviced with mains power, town water, instant gas hot water system, telephone and septic. There is a good bore as well as almost 5000 gallons of rainwater storage in two large tanks. Alongside the open bay there is a small, incredibly well built garden shed which matches the main structure. The building is positioned perfectly to the back of the block which gives you the upside option of building a house to the front which can easily tap into the existing services. The structure is bordered by a concrete apron giving you all weather access around the building. The shady 708 m2 yard is fully fenced and landscaped with mature trees, tropical plants and garden beds. There are expansive lawned areas for the kids to play safely with plenty of shade and year round breezes. Seriously, you will be impressed with this property. To call it a 'habitable shed' is a huge understatement. The owners have spared no expense to make this property a comfortable pride and joy and their attention to detail has been second to none. This is the ideal weekender, home away from home, or perfect abode for a couple or small family dreaming of moving to the beach but on a tight budget.
