Pink bougainvillea adorns the fence adjacent to the pool of this pretty, peaceful, private Florida Gardens home metres from one of the three waterfront parks on the island.

If you think that was a lot of P’s then don’t forget Position. Yes you can walk to local cafes for your morning hit of caffeine or stroll to the beach with your towel over your shoulder.

An oasis full of character with a garden to be proud of, creating that sought-after privacy and kept luscious by the efficient spear pump.

With refurbished bathroom and kitchen (gas hotplate) the warm slate floors lead you out through timber French doors to the covered patio by the pool. If the weather turns a little inclement just drop the storm shutters and enjoy the pitter-patter of rain drops dripping through the leaves of the frangipani (or French penny as one little girl used to call it).

Fully walled, the huge picture window in the air conditioned living room lets you admire the gardens from the comfort of your favourite lounge chair.

Located in one of the quietest streets, there is plenty of opportunity to add value (or a second storey to capture great views) or you can just enjoy the serenity.

Florida Gardens is an island in Broadbeach Waters with a real community feel that has a combination of dry and waterfront homes. A real family area with only one way in it has a park on each corner, shops in the middle and is on the bus route. All this is just a short walk from the beach. Come and see for yourself.
