Overview

Potential-packed Entertainer Five Minutes from Nobby Beach

Perched atop a generous waterfront parcel just five minutes from Nobby Beach, this beautifully maintained residence presents a rare opportunity in a highly desired location. The single-level design is truly an entertainer's dream. Featured are an array of indoor and outdoor living zones, including a firepit and poolside alfresco area, with the hero among them being the vast waterfront deck. Boasting a servery window, outdoor kitchen and breathtaking hinterland outlook, this space is sure to be the setting for fond memories with family and friends. Also perfectly suited to young or growing families, the considerate floor plan boasts four sizeable bedrooms, including two with their own ensuite. Rounding out the amenities are a temperature-controlled 1000-bottle wine cellar, a boat ramp and pontoon, and lush grassed areas plus a sandy beach where children and pets can play. While the property is immaculately presented and ready to be settled straight into, it also presents an exciting upside opportunity for a buyer looking to explore its full potential. For those with renovation in mind, there is plenty of scope to modernise the home to truly make it your own or maximise its value for the future.

The burgeoning lifestyle hub of Nobby Beach, which includes boutique stores, popular restaurants and the upmarket Oxley precinct, offers great options from day to night within 2.5km. The heart of Broadbeach, which hosts The Star, Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and plenty more, is also conveniently located within 4km. Active families will appreciate proximity to the popular sports and recreation precinct of Pizzey Park, which is just 1km away and offers facilities for swimming, netball, soccer, football and more, as well as skate and dog parks. Families will also appreciate being in the catchment for Miami State School and Miami State High School, while proximity to major roads including the Gold Coast Highway facilitates an easy commute for professionals.
