Some homes have one thing going for them. This one has about twelve. A freshly renovated four-bedroom main home, a detached self-contained granny flat with its own gate entrance, a renovated games room in the garage, an inground pool, two decks, a vegetable garden, parking for five, and an energy setup that most homes a decade newer haven't caught up with yet. All of it sitting inside one of Ashmore's most prestigious and tightly held enclaves.
45 Kawana Crescent sits in a rare double cul-de-sac, in the Paradise Rivers estate, a neighbourhood of substantial homes tucked along the Nerang River with Tranquility Park a short walk away. It's the kind of address that people in the know, know. Quiet, leafy, and surrounded by properties that take pride in themselves. Royal Pines Golf Resort is minutes away. So is HOTA, Emerald Lakes and Surfers Paradise, if you want it.
INSIDE
Walk through the front door and the floor plan gives you a choice: turn right for rest, turn left for living. Bedrooms and bathrooms one way, kitchen, dining and living the other. It's a layout that makes the home feel intuitive from the moment you're in it.
The renovation is thorough and considered. New kitchen with premium stone benchtops, new bathroom and ensuite, new laundry, new hybrid flooring throughout, plantation shutters in the lounge, and ducted zoned air conditioning running through the whole home. This is not a surface renovation. Someone has gone through this place properly.
The master bedroom is generously sized, comfortably fitting a king bed, with a large linear pass-through wardrobe that gives you the kind of storage space most bedrooms only promise. The ensuite is fully renovated and the main bathroom matches it.
The kitchen is large and open, designed around the reality of how people actually use a kitchen. Whether it's a big family or a crowd of friends, the space handles it.
OUTSIDE
Step out from the kitchen and second living area onto the covered back patio, which looks directly over the concrete inground pool. It's the kind of setup that makes entertaining easy and keeping an eye on the kids effortless. There's also a deck at the front entrance, giving the home a second outdoor space for quieter mornings.
The yard has a vegetable garden already producing, a lined and divided shed with separate storage and garden access, and a tall carport capable of housing a boat, a caravan, or two cars side by side. Parking for five vehicles total. A remote sliding gate and external security system round it out.
THE ENERGY SETUP
This is where the property earns a separate conversation. The home runs on 13.2kW of solar panels feeding into a 40kWh home battery, with a 7.2kW Tesla EV charger already installed. This is a serious, future-proof energy system. Power bills are already transformed. If you drive electric, or plan to, the infrastructure is done.
THE GARAGE
The double garage has been converted into a renovated games and media room with its own split system air conditioning and built-in storage. Use it as intended, or close it off as a fifth room, home theatre, or gym. It works either way.
THE GRANNY FLAT
Detached, self-contained, and individually metered. One bedroom with a generous separate lounge, full kitchen, bathroom, and split system air conditioning. It has its own gate entrance completely independent of the main home, offering approximately $550 per week in rental income. This is not a bonus feature. For the right buyer, it's a financial decision.
THE LOCATION
Ashmore sits nine kilometres from Surfers Paradise with easy access to the Pacific Motorway, Nerang train station, and everything in between. Emerald Lakes Golf Course, The Botanical Gardens, and HOTA are all within a short drive. Tranquility Park, on the Nerang River just a short walk away.

5.1 km to Emmanuel College

2.3 km to Trinity Lutheran College Cotlew St
3 km to Trinity Lutheran College Ashmore Rd
