Behind a private gatehouse on one of Mermaid Beach's most tightly held beachside streets, 18 Ocean Street reveals far more than its discreet façade suggests. Set on 405m² just moments from the sand, this substantial, light-filled prestige residence combines flexible multi-level living, a renewed poolside entertaining environment and a fully self-contained Little House - an extraordinarily rare offering in this coveted coastal setting.
The Little House is a defining feature of the property, providing independent accommodation. Privately positioned at the rear with separate side access, it offers a generous living area; a well-appointed kitchenette; a dining bench for two; its own bathroom and toilet; and a character-filled mezzanine sleeping level accommodating two single beds. Ideal for teenagers, older family members, extended family or long-term guests, it delivers exceptional multigenerational versatility. Its separation and private access also provide scope for a home-based professional space.
The main residence is equally distinctive. A roofed gatehouse and coordinated louvred pedestrian and driveway gates provide privacy and airflow, their peaked design echoing the home's architectural lines. Beyond, the entry introduces a remarkable sequence of timber, glass, natural light and water.
From the foyer, a glass landing and stairway appear to float above an architectural pond curving beneath the house and emerging on both sides, framed by lush planting and moving water. Nearby, a dedicated home cinema seats five, with plush carpeting, fitted media shelving and entertainment cabinetry, a microwave and bar refrigerator, and provision for a television or projector.
The lower level includes two generous rooms, one currently a substantial home office with timber-fronted storage cupboards fitted as bookcases and direct poolside access. A full bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling, glass shower and spa bath, separate powder room and full-sized laundry allow this level to function with considerable independence.
Upstairs, soaring angled ceilings and beautiful timber flooring sourced from Brisbane's Bretts Wharf define a light-filled open-plan living and dining environment. Reflective privacy film treats the lounge room's extensive glass panels and doors. The living room accommodates a full lounge suite and includes fitted cabinetry for a television of up to 85 inches, a substantial bar, bar refrigerator and dedicated storage.
Designed for serious entertaining, the dining area provides space for a large setting, wine cooler, glass-fronted display cabinetry, service storage, sink and tap. The adjoining kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, a new oven, cooktop, rangehood and breakfast nook, with dedicated spaces for a large refrigerator and microwave. Two balconies provide further places to enjoy light, air and privacy.
The king-sized principal bedroom includes two separate wardrobes and a spacious floor-to-ceiling tiled ensuite with twin basins, glass shower and spa bath, plus a guest powder room completes the upper level.
Outside, the recently renewed deck begins beside the pond, follows the main residence and wraps around the renovated pool toward the Little House. Covered poolside entertaining includes an oversized ceiling fan, outdoor television and premium outdoor kitchen with four-burner barbecue, refrigerator, sink, preparation benches and storage, creating a cohesive private retreat for everyday living and memorable gatherings.
Practical features include ducted air-conditioning upstairs, five individual split systems, an automatic standby generator servicing the main residence, intercom, eight-camera security system and separate front-gate camera. A reinforced driveway descends to secure two-car accommodation with additional storage, while a beachside outdoor shower completes the home's coastal functionality.
Ocean Street offers an unusually quiet position with limited through-traffic just moments from Hedges Avenue and the beach. Mermaid and Nobby Beach dining, Pacific Fair, Broadbeach entertainment and the extended light-rail network are within easy reach, while the emerging Alfred precinct will further enhance this exceptional location.
