The secret is out at Villas Mermaid located as close to beachside as you can get without the price tag 600 metres to Nobbys Beach and 1 minute to the Nobbys beach cafes and bars one street away from Miami Marketta and perfectly placed between major shopping centres.

Un-renovated townhouses in this complex have started fetching $500-550k as the word gets out, and Villas Mermaid has become renovation central now that the their potential is being discovered.

Less worthy properties in neighbouring suburbs are in the $600k plus.

All the hard work has been done to transform this once dated 90′s townhouse into a bright expansive open plan indoor/outdoor living home.

Filled with warmth and character features rarely found on the market the use of natural timber materials, open plan living, natural environment and green space living has enhanced the unique appeal of this property.

Rarely found, the complex of just 34 Villas is pet friendly and hosts a community of majority owner occupiers, has onsite management and large private pool.

Perfect for the older generation wanting to downsize, a young family or alternatively as an investment with a rental history of between $550-$650 per week.

Some of the features include: a large and expansive lounge, kitchen and dining area that begins from the private front courtyard and timber porch at entry, through the bifolds into the main house and then continues through bifolds out to the HUGE back deck.

A practical open plan kitchen with huge oak benchtops and servery window allow the kitchen area to be part of the open plan living.

The back deck, approximately 60 square metres in size is tiered and the roof is insulated. The timber has been treated to have a refined and almost internal flooring look. This deck has been the envy of the complex adding an exceptional amount of indoor and outdoor living space. Add to this the servery window from the kitchen to the back deck allowing the indoors and outdoors to become one.

The view from the front of the courtyard right through the main house to the back fence through bi-folds is magic. Creating a rainforest and private retreat feeling is the established and low maintenance bamboo screening, established trees, gardens and fence screening.

A brand new stunning main bathroom with double shower downstairs with internal laundry adjoins the garage. Stone laundry benchtops.

Currently used as a studio, the garage provides endless additional options (STCA). To enhance the multipurpose use of this space, a french door has been installed allowing dual and private entry from the courtyard, or alternatively through to the main house from the bathroom.

A natural timber staircase leads up to 3 bedrooms upstairs including a huge air-conditioned main bedroom with ensuite, freshly painted, new venetians and drapes and bamboo timber flooring.

The best part there is still scope for you to add your own personal style and additions and follow the trends to take this property to the next level – or leave it as it is because you love it.

As big as house and room for visitors or growing family. Rarely will you find all of these features in one property.
