The owners of this Mermaid Beach abode decided to start from scratch, bar a few walls, and took the property from drab to completely fab.
The four-bedroom home at 71 Petrel Ave was a bland home sitting in the blue-chip pocket of Mermaid Beach when the owners purchased it for $1.235 million in 2016.
Now, an architecturally designed overhaul has transformed the home into a modern beach house that makes the most of its location.
LJ Hooker Broadbeach director Matt Conduit said the property was basically rebuilt and only recently completed.
“It’s a prime example of trendy beachside living,” Mr Conduit said.
“An open design, high ceilings, beautiful breezes that flow through – it’s easy, simple beachside living.”
Highlights include a handcrafted spotted gum front door, travertine stone floors, exposed beams, Cypress pine feature walls, Rockcote render and a backyard with an outdoor entertainment area, pool and tropical gardens.
There are two main bedrooms, one with a private entrance that has provided an income to the current owners.
Mr Conduit said older homes were often being knocked down to make way for swanky new properties in Mermaid Beach.
“It’s that prime beachside location and everyone strives to achieve a property there,” he said. “It’s a great place to live, a very active lifestyle and you can walk to all the trendy restaurants and cafes – it’s the lifestyle which is the epitome of Gold Coast living.”
