There is a Boat House in Maroochydore and one in Barbados, but have you seen the Boat House on Russell Island? This incredible property has just been listed, and I feel it won't be on the market for long. Someone will snap it up after the first inspection. I fell in love with it at first sight.
The two-bedroom house has a nautical theme, hence the plaque on the front of this beautiful home: "The Boat House."
This is an unusually long residential block. The main entrance is in Beth St., but there is also car access to an oversized lock-up garage from West St. The house is positioned on the front of the block, taking advantage of the water views and glorious sunrises.
The House:
The front welcome deck faces West and overlooks the green-manicured fields of Jackson Oval Cricket Ground and views of Long Island. Upon entry, you are immediately in the main living area, which comprises a combined lounge and dining room with bifold windows and glass entrance doors. The picturesque water views are as if low tide doesn't exist. Three timber steps take you into the cleverly designed petite kitchen. Then, into a short hallway leading to the second bedroom, bathroom, laundry and rear entrance door.
The second bedroom, which is on the lower level, has a ceiling fan, a built-in wardrobe, a picture window overlooking the spacious back garden, and a glass door leading onto a large timber verandah.
The bathroom has a shower, vanity, and toilet, with the linen press in the hall. Everything is compact in this home, but think of the extra free time you have to enjoy island life with minimal cleaning.
Off the lounge room, the main bedroom has a fixed corner study bench under bifold windows, perfect for authors, artists, or those who still correspond with handwritten letters. You know, paper, pen, envelope, and a stamp? It has room for a queen-sized bed and an armoire. Glass French doors open onto the expansive back timber deck, which extends from the rear of the house into the garden.
The Garden:
Definitely, with a Balinese influence, this unusually long strip of land has many "rooms." Nothing is in a straight line, especially the winding concrete path broken up with rustic sleepers leading you to the garage. And as you weave through the vegetation, you could have a "reading nook." Or a "potting station" for the green thumb. Or a meditation spot for your "happy place.' Or what about a lap pool? To keep fit and healthy and to cool off in the heat of our summers. There is still plenty of free space waiting for your inspiration.
Possible Income Boost:
Erect a carport at the West St entrance for a small island car and convert the garage into a granny flat or Air BnB. Everyone thinks they have enough to retire on, but a little more would make life "Oh so sweet."
Features:
A/C and fans in lounge/dining. (A/C carries into the main bedroom.)
Timber flooring throughout.
The raked ceiling in the living area and kitchen continues in the main bedroom.
The kitchen is small but very practical. It has plenty of bench space, a bench cooktop, and an under-bench oven and grill.
The back door is fitted with a pet flap.
Fully fenced backyard.
Storage room in lock-up garage.
