13 Scarborough Terrace

Macleay Island QLD 4184

Picture this:

rugged threadbare carpet, exposing chipboard flooring and a concrete slab
open-plan living, thats seen a few good years
high ceilings with natural air-con (as the roof is exposed to the elements!)
smashed windows, boarded-up with tape
termite-eaten architraves
sliding-doors (that lock) to a concrete enclosed sunroom, complete with internal septic
classic kitchen with upright stove and room for a fridge
tiled laundry with twin-tubs and functioning washing-machine (thats a bonus)
camp-style shower with self-watering rose
a mint-green bedroom with carpet in original condition (hows that possible?)

Fear not, for the land is where your money lies. So, if youre not wowed by the living arrangements, then the outdoors offer more redeeming features:

storage cupboard on the concrete veranda houses a disconnected hot-water tank
sunken pavers greet you to access the sunroom
power-cords run from the friendly neighbours property to light-up your home
water-hoses flow to the friendly neighbours, in return for electricity
communal clothesline spans the two properties (propped-up with a branch thatd make an excellent sling-shot)
backyard could do with some love to nurture the existing plants and redeem the soil
loads of sunlight in the North-facing massive yarda big plus
overlooks the refurbished skate-park
scope to build and retain this ancient abode as a granny-flat, garage, or work-shed
potential water views

Nobody said this place was perfect, but if youre after a pre-council site in a great area, that offers free accommodation while you develop and build, then look no further than Number 13 (unlucky for some). You could even retain the shed as a granny-flat, to complement the new palace thats set-back from the street.

Just so you know, the lovely neighbours are building a new residence on their block and have already planted fruit trees and herbs, as a green buffer between the properties.

Scarborough Terrace is central to everything, with Macleay Island Community Centre, local cafes and shops on your doorstep. Its only minutes to the waters edge, clubs, pub, parks, school and ferry. A walk-to-everything address is highly desirable on Macleay and the proximity this opportunity presents is totally a one-off.

Even the Garfunkel brothers wouldve sung about this beast of a place, full of solitude and sheer misery. Now, its waiting to be re-imagined as a unique family home at the entry to the island. A place where music echoes in the hollows and laughter fills the gaps. A space where beauty dances on the water and fairies light the way home. A happy-ever-after fairy tale, retold to suit your lifestyle.

If you can picture living here and have the gusto to complete the works, youll be rewarded for your efforts. Because, theres more on offer here than your imagination can possibly dream-up.

To turn this beast of burden into an island beauty, call Chris McGregor on 0420 555 997 and schedule a private inspection, or attend any of the set open-homes.
