Homes in Sunshine Beach have always been a sought-after commodity, and with land in short supply, well positioned older homes are often the next best thing. The recent sales of a similar sized block only a couple of doors away at $900k and a similar-sized house on the opposite corner for $1.1m make the asking price of this Ross Crescent beach house less than its replacement value.
The unassuming brick and timber home has nestled on its leafy corner site for over 30 years, cherished by only two loving owners. In its heyday, the house enjoyed ocean views up and down the coast, but maturing trees and recent developments have left just the roar of the pounding surf as a reminder of its proximity to the beach accessible at each end of the street. Being on the highest point of Ross Crescent, a modest extension over the garage will restore the expansive ocean views.
The soaring, vaulted ceilings lined in mellow timbers lend a sense of light and space to the open plan living on the upper level of the home. Banks of glass sliders open to a covered balcony protected from the street by a glorious pandanus, and the gnarled and twisted limbs of banksias. Quiet moments reading in the filtered winter sun are interspersed with the varied calls of the many local birds.
The private and lushly-planted courtyard garden has sheltered many pleasant al fresco lunches with friends under a spectacular native Tuckeroo that provides deep, cool shade in summer. The garden’s quiet corners and winding pathways open up to a sunny timber podium and Tuscan-like paved suntraps framed by glossy citrus and waving palms.
The expansive living area offers a media space at one end and kitchen and powder room at the other while a light-filled office hugs the corner of the home with a leafy outlook across the wrap-around balcony and down the quiet cul-de-sac. With beach access close by and the Sunshine Beach village only a 5 minute stroll away, this light and breezy beach house brings a warmth and charm to the lives of its inhabitants.
Three double bedrooms on the lower level share a full bathroom and separate laundry. The air-conditioned main bedroom opens out to the Northern garden sheltered from the blustering coastal breezes. For those with a pent-up desire to take up a loud musical instrument, there is an air-conditioned studio equipped with soundproofing and acoustic insulation in the walls to ensure your loved ones maintain their sanity.
