Overview

Beautifully Reimagined Family Home with Private Gardens and Independent Street Frontage

Step through your own front gate into a home where the weekends are yours to enjoy. Set on approximately 310m² of land, this rare side-by-side duplex boasts its own street frontage. It features secure fenced gardens at the front and rear. This layout offers the independence of a freestanding house, with the massive financial bonus of zero body corporate fees. The current owners have lovingly transformed the property. The low-tox renovations have been thoughtfully completed, bringing together refreshed interiors, practical improvements, and welcoming spaces for everyday life. Inside, new flooring, fresh paint, and updated lighting create a cohesive, relaxed feel. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home. It features new joinery, modern appliances, sink and tapware, and feature lighting. Pull up a seat at the breakfast bar or gather around the dining table with the doors open to the alfresco. A new wall-hung television unit keeps the adjoining living space beautifully streamlined. Outside, there is a place for every season. Enjoy the winter sunshine around the rear alfresco. As the weather warms, retreat to the shade of the new front deck. Manicured gardens and turfed lawns frame the yard. A built-in swing creates an inviting setting for children to play, friends to gather, or quiet afternoons at home. Each of the three bedrooms has been thoughtfully finished. They feature V J panelled bedhead walls, new ceiling fans, and newly fitted robe interiors. Drawers, open shelving, and double hanging rails make everyday organisation easier. Carefully positioned bedside power points reflect the attention given to the smaller details. The home is set in a friendly neighbourhood within the sought-after Caningeraba State School catchment. Everyday pleasures are right within walking distance. Pick up your morning coffee at Home Plate Kitchen. Explore Frascott Park and the Varsity Lakes wetlands walking trails. You can even leave the car at home for dinner at Tamero Italian. Beyond the immediate neighbourhood, you are just minutes from the M1 and Varsity Lakes train station. A short 10-15 minute drive takes you to Robina Town Centre and the world-class surf breaks of Burleigh Heads. Further features include: • Single garage with an additional off-street driveway parking space. • Refreshed bathroom with a new vanity, tapware and towel rails, plus a separate toilet. • Updated laundry with new joinery, a pull-out clothes hamper, sink and tapware. • New air conditioning in the living room and main bedroom, with new ceiling fans throughout the bedrooms and living area. • Freshly cleaned and painted roof, complemented by a professionally cleaned and sealed driveway, alfresco, and entry areas. • New perimeter fencing, window and door flyscreens, hot water system, motorised garage door, and wheelie bin enclosure to conceal unsightly bins. • Shared building insurance only, with no additional ongoing body corporate fees. Whether you are starting a new chapter, making room for a young family, or simplifying without giving up your garden, this is a home ready to be enjoyed from the moment you arrive.
