16 Higlett St, Scarborough is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House and was built in 1960. The property has a land size of 425m2 and floor size of 119m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in July 2022.
A comprehensive renovation inside and out has transformed this 1960 mid-century beach shack into a stunning contemporary oasis.
The home's thoughtfully reimagined floor plan features two living spaces and three built-in bedrooms, remaining sympathetic to the era of the home while elevating its liveability and appeal with high-quality finishes and fixtures.
Beyond the distinctive custom-tiled entryway, you'll find high ceilings throughout, wall panelling and clerestory windows, giving the home its cool retro-coastal vibe.
The brand-new kitchen features an engineered stone benchtop and splashback, along with premium Westinghouse cooking appliances and a Bosch integrated dishwasher. Practical storage solutions include a sleek appliance cupboard and large pantry with pull-out drawers. Adjacent to the kitchen is a European-style laundry cleverly concealed behind bifold doors.
The main bedroom oozes character with its VJ ceiling and lovingly restored original awning windows. A spacious ensuite features a double-basin wall-hung vanity and brass tapware, while a tall louvre window captures morning sun and ocean breezes.
Two further bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and remote-controlled ceiling fans, while the guest bathroom boasts sage green wall tiles, brushed brass fixtures, and a skylight.
Outside, Palm Springs-inspired landscaping and breeze blocks set the tone for stylish entertaining. Enjoy the firepit from a built-in bench seat in the back garden, then migrate to the generous deck for a meal with friends and family.
A separate backyard studio offers endless opportunities as a work-from-home office, yoga retreat, man cave, or hobby space. With reverse-cycle air conditioning and double-glazed windows and doors, the studio is perfectly insulated for every season.
A pristine slice of Queensland's mid-century history on the coast, this home has been beautifully preserved and enriched for future generations.
Ideal for investors as a holiday home or Airbnb, this property could potentially rent for over $400 per night. The buyer also has the option to purchase the home's furniture and decor, making it a turnkey accommodation.
