Welcome, buyers there are homes where the floor plan tells only part of the story and 20 Torquay Road East is one of them.
Positioned approximately 330 metres from the Moreton Bay foreshore within the tightly held Orchard Beach enclave, this substantial custom-built residence combines something increasingly difficult to find: genuine elevated water views, approximately 360m² of floor area, exceptional vehicle and workshop accommodation, and the solidity of a home built to last.
And then there is the view.
From the upper level, Moreton Bay becomes a genuine part of everyday living. The outlook opens beautifully from the living room, dining area, kitchen and covered alfresco balcony, creating a connection with the bay that photographs can only partially convey. In person, the water feels remarkably present an expansive blue backdrop beyond the rooftops that changes with the light, weather and tides.
It is a view designed to be lived with, not simply glimpsed from one bedroom window.
Upstairs Where the Home Meets the Bay
The upper level is the heart of the residence and has been intelligently positioned to capitalise on its elevation.
Rich timber flooring brings warmth to the main living zone, while large openings connect the interior with the covered balcony. The result is an easy indoor-outdoor relationship where the kitchen, dining, living and alfresco areas all participate in the Moreton Bay outlook.
Whether it is breakfast at the kitchen bench, dinner overlooking the water, doors opened to the bay breeze or a quiet afternoon on the balcony, this entire level has been designed around relaxed coastal living.
The kitchen itself is substantial and practical, complemented by Adelaide Black granite surfaces a premium natural stone selected not simply for appearance, but for its remarkable durability and heat resistance.
The upper level also incorporates the impressive main bedroom suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, together with an additional bedroom and bathroom.
The ensuite is particularly striking, with extensive floor-to-ceiling dark stone-look tiling, twin vanities and an oversized shower creating a bathroom with genuine architectural presence.
An Exceptionally Versatile Ground Floor
Downstairs reveals just how much accommodation this home provides.
A large family room creates a completely separate second living zone, complemented by additional bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and an office/fifth-bedroom option.
For larger or multi-generational households, teenagers, guests or those working from home, the separation between the two levels provides enormous flexibility.
The generous downstairs family zone and multiple access points also create exciting potential for buyers wanting to explore a more independent living arrangement in the future, subject of course to any required approvals and modifications.
But perhaps the most remarkable feature of the ground floor sits beyond the living accommodation.
The Garaging Is Simply Extraordinary
For the boat owner, car enthusiast, tradesperson, collector, adventurer or anyone who has ever said "I just need more garage space", 20 Torquay Road East deserves serious attention.
The home incorporates a huge approximately 4.0m x 8.9m third garage with approximately 2.7m entry height, in addition to the substantial approximately 6.1m x 7.4m main garage.
That alone is exceptional.
But the property takes the concept further.
The oversized third garage provides drive-through access toward the rear of the property, where an additional approximately 6m x 4m detached shed provides yet another valuable storage, workshop or hobby space.
It creates an exceptionally rare lifestyle configuration: substantial everyday garaging at the front, genuine high-clearance accommodation for larger vehicles or recreational equipment, plus a separate rear shed.
Boats. Jet skis. Classic cars. Trailers. Camping equipment. Workshop space. Storage.
There is room here for the lifestyle that normally forces buyers to compromise.
And importantly, this capability sits within a quality residential home approximately 330 metres from Moreton Bay not on an industrial-style property kilometres from the waterfront.
Custom Built With Substance
Originally constructed by Devenbourn Homes, the residence reflects an era of substantial brick construction and a level of solidity that is immediately apparent when walking through the home.
This has also been a property that has been actively maintained rather than simply occupied.
The exterior was repainted approximately 16 months ago, with the interior repainted approximately 24 months ago.
The upper-level ducted air-conditioning system is approximately two years old, has recently undergone its annual system check and carries the balance of its 10-year warranty. The system was installed by Jaric Air and was sized with potential to extend servicing to the ground floor, subject to appropriate assessment and installation.
The owners have historically allowed an approximately $10,000 annual maintenance budget for the property an indication of the approach taken to preserving and maintaining a home of this scale.
