So close to the ocean you can hear and smell it. This is real beach living.

Number 55 Sandowns Street backs onto the tidal salt flats of popular Alva Beach in the bountiful Burdekin Shire. The tidal water ebbs and flows across the salt flats with the moon phases and sustains an ecosystem, abundant with marine, bird and plant life. Cast netting for fresh bait or succulent prawns is only meters from the back boundary fence and is a skill worth learning.

The front door on the ground level of the home leads into the cosy formal lounge and adjoining dining room. The tiled floor ensures easy cleaning and the north-eastern facing windows allow the sweet breeze to flow effortlessly throughout the living areas.

The neat kitchen is located through a doorway in the dining room. A large pantry provides ample storage space and the cabinetry and bench area ensures a functional work space for meal preparation.

Internal stairs lead from the ground level up into the sleeping area of the home. Bedroom 3 is located at the top of the stairs with bedroom 2 situated in the next room along the short hallway. The roomy master bedroom is located at the end of the hall and features a built-in wardrobe as well as access out to the verandah. All bedrooms boast ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

The bathroom and separate toilet are located at the base of the internal stairs and are perfectly positioned for easy access when entertaining outdoors or within the downstairs living area. The bathroom features a combined shower and tub and a single vanity.

The under covered external laundry is located towards the rear of the dwelling. The laundry features a concrete floor and is large enough to accommodate most modern laundry appliances.

Other notable features include Foxtel access, NBN internet access, built-in cupboards under the internal staircase, two carports adjoining the side of the residence, a double carport towards the rear of the allotment, a boat shed, garden shed and an additional lockable storage shed. A powered caravan is located in the rear western corner of the allotment and is currently utilised as a guest room.

The back boundary fence opens out onto a grassed area, only meters to the bank of the salt flats. The sunset view at high tide is absolutely spectacular. Would you rather be anywhere else?
