Set opposite a waterfront park in one of Burleigh Waters' most tightly held pockets, this well-loved family home is being offered for the first time in 33 years and presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking for land, location and genuine potential. Positioned on a substantial 615m² block, the property offers a solid foundation to renovate, extend or potentially build up and take greater advantage of the outlook across the park and water.
The existing home has plenty of charm and character, with a solid double-brick construction providing an excellent base for a future transformation. Whether you choose to undertake a considered renovation and modernise the existing floorplan or explore a more ambitious extension, there is plenty of scope to add value and create a home that makes the most of this enviable setting.
Inside, the open-plan living area is anchored by an impressive cathedral ceiling, creating a sense of space and character that would respond beautifully to a contemporary renovation. The large kitchen is practical in its current form, featuring an island bench, generous storage and plenty of overhead cupboards, while the overall layout provides plenty of opportunity to rework the interiors around modern family living.
Accommodation includes three good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms (master with ensuite), with both bathrooms featuring skylights that fill the spaces with natural light. Master bedroom with a convenient walk in robe, while the second and third bedrooms offer built-in robes. A separate tiled sunroom adds another versatile space, ideal as a second living area, rumpus, kids' zone or simply storage depending on your needs. The large laundry room is also set off this space.
Outside is where the 615m² landholding really comes into its own. The large, north facing flat grassed backyard offers plenty of room for children and pets, while providing a blank canvas for future landscaping, entertaining areas, a pool or even a productive veggie garden. Side access through the pedestrian gate adds further practicality.
The potential to build up and capture views across the neighbouring park and water is particularly compelling. Subject to the necessary council approvals and planning requirements, a future upper level could completely transform the home's outlook and elevate the lifestyle appeal of the property.
And then there is the location. Positioned opposite parkland, you can step outside and have a green open space right across the road for the kids and dogs, while Mick Schamburg Park and Miami One are within easy walking distance. Leave the car at home as you're also just a stroll away from the newly completed light rail, connecting you along the coastal corridor from Burleigh to Helensvale.
With world-famous beaches just 1.4km away, local shops, parks and Miami/Burleigh's lifestyle precinct all close by, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial block in a highly desirable coastal location and decide what comes next. Renovate, extend, landscape or build up - the potential is here, and the land and location provide the foundations to create something special.
