Set in a desirable beachside cul-de-sac, this home is being offered to the market for the first time since the land was purchased 20 years ago.

Featuring some of the closest ocean views on offer in this area, the water is so near it is almost as though it is in the backyard. Ideal for growing families, the residence sprawls over two levels, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple living zones. Enter via the well-lit foyer where an atrium reaches to the second level with a pendent light hanging from the ceiling.

The ground floor features a formal lounge and dining room, in addition to the open plan living, dining and kitchen, plus rumpus room. Most of these spaces take advantage of the outlook across to the dunes and ocean of Marcus Beach. This level also has a full bathroom, internal entrance from the garage into the laundry and one bedroom, which given its close location to the entrance, would be an excellent home office or media room.

Upstairs the master retreat enjoys some of the best views at this address and extends out on to a deck to make the most of the vista. The retreat has a walk-through robe and ensuite featuring a corner spa. This level has another three good-sized bedrooms, main bathroom with separate toilet plus an alcove, which could be another small media zone, library or home office.

Quaint, well-maintained gardens envelop the home, including a fishpond, adding to the aesthetic appeal. With a structurally sound building, only minor cosmetic renovations are needed to modernise home – new floorings, a touch of paint and window coverings will make a massive difference, without costing the Earth.

All of this is a short walk from the open sands of Marcus Beach, and just a five-minute drive from Peregian Beach village and its eclectic mix of dining, retail, services and Peregian Beach Surf Club.
