Dream big and think outside the box, because this wonderful elevated family home offers all the potential to capitalise on its solid foundations – in a beachside suburb!
Located in popular Rapid Creek area, across the road from winding pathways that lead to the foreshore straight to the ocean for romantic sunset walks or a picnic on the grass overlooking the Jetty.
At first glance it looks daunting yet on closer inspection you come to realise there are some really good bones underneath and it’s the covering that needs the attention.

The upstairs portion of this home is where you will find the spacious open plan living areas, with a free flowing design that allows for breezy everyday living, these spaces are light and bright and well designed to maximise liveability.
The kitchen has a rustic retro approach with blue cabinetry wrapping around providing ample bench and cupboard space. Overhead cupboards add in additional storage plus there is a servery to the dining room and a unique lattice work frame for a country chic vibe.
All four bedrooms are a great size and feature large windows to frame the treetop views through the louvered windows. The master bedroom and bedroom 2 adjoin so you could use this as a home office or nursery if you like.
The yard space is a little ramshackle at the moment, get to it with some pruners, the lawn mower, the wiper sniper and the bobcat to create your own slice of paradise in a weekend. Surrounding the home are tall palm trees with a shady canopy to keep the yard and home cool year round.
Tucked away at the base of tall trees, the swimming pool needs some real attention before you jump in however the potential is there to entertain poolside or watch the kids splash about in the fibreglass depths.
Built in under the home is a storage room as well as the laundry amenities with original cement trough and exposed shelving for storage. In addition there is a utility room and an additional storage room as well. Both spaces are versatile and could be converted into a bedroom or workshop if you like.
