With the word unique so loosely banded around these day, perhaps you should cast a careful eye over this very well positioned property. It was built to withstand a force five cyclone, the solid bagged exterior and plastered internal walls all set around the strength of suspended slab construction.

It was one of the first homes to grace the high dunes of just released Sunrise Beach residential blocks nearly four decades ago. The beauty of this partial ocean view property on 776m2 is its ability to suit a range of redevelopment options whilst initially providing a steady income stream from the generous level of bedroom accommodation and separate living spaces.

The zoning suggests the option of developing two or possibly three attached homes subject to meeting council requirements and guidelines, however the present home does have the size and robust nature for buyers looking to create a big family home that sits in a quiet lightly used avenue along the top of a coastal ridge.

It certainly is a big home set in grounds that are dotted by solitary and clumps of mature palms. Established border shrubs increase the level of privacy and dappled light washes over the brick paved pool surrounds. The suspended slab places all the five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper floor. Downstairs living is huge, with two very large living rooms, a big kitchen with adjacent dining room, full bathroom with spa, utility room, under stair cellar and double garage with workshop space. There is a separate toilet and laundry just outside.

Big open paved terraces that capture the sun and breezes at all times of the day, sit either side of the home, one over the wide frontage of the street side gardens, and the other even larger one, hanging lazily over the shape of a 100,000 litre pool of resort like proportions. Standing at the rear eastern boundary and looking back up at the house, there is a Spanish Mission meets a Mediterranean flavour, with the bagged render exterior finish and the presence of archways inside and out.

One almost expects a gloved hand and royal wave to appear above the columns of the upper balcony. The curve of the street turns the home on the block to favour a north east aspect, while the ocean views are protected by the elevation up off the nearby patrolled beach and local cafe, just a brief walk away. No busy roads to cross, making it very safe for children, and close to schools, parks and sports facilities. All the prerequisites for smart buying are right here.

A very large coastal view home of some fifty squares is hedged by core land value and the prospect of future development potential. This is a project for those with a keen eye for spotting a diamond in the rough.
