The Weekend Post - Real Estate
Be captivated by panorama
OFFERED for sale for the first time this Smithfield residence captures stunning ocean and city views, while providing occupants with total privacy.
Set on 1.01ha in an exclusive and secluded residential locale, Andrew Thornton of Elite Property Edge Hill says with its spectacular water and city views, this property offers an opportunity that will be impossible to find again in Smithfield.
The elevated position assures privacy, while the relaxed openplan living integrates easily the inside to the outside.
Mr Thornton said prospective buyers of 6-8 Chatham Terrace could expect breathtaking views from nearly every room, along with superb areas for entertaining and relaxing.
“Alfresco dining is a must for more formal occasions overlooking the magnificent views or perhaps opt for Sunday breakfast on the private rear deck overlooking the rainforest,” he said.
The modern kitchen with new cooktop and oven also offer views to the surrounding rainforest.
“Large windows, beautiful new porcelain floor tiles and a tasteful palette of neutral colours frame the views and the rainforest backdrop beautifully.”
Extending the full length of the house is the covered patio allowing all year outdoor enjoyment. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and renovated ensuite, which captures the view with direct access to outside.
Bedrooms two and three are generous in size, the study can be converted into a fourth bedroom and the home has 4kW solar panels.
The home features two bathrooms and four car parks.
“The parcel of land at the rear of the property is perfect for the kids or you can extend the house if you need more space,” Mr Thornton said.
“Not often do you get flat usable land when a house is positioned on the side of a mountain without compromising the view.
“There is the added bonus of a solid shed with toilet and shower located at the bottom of the property along Chatham Terrace.
“It backs onto a freshwater creek and it could be a perfect teenager’s retreat or be used as a storage shed.
“This stunning residence delivers a rare and outstanding example of Cairns living with panoramas that will take your breath away.
“At every turn, this property is an unprecedented sanctuary of quality, privacy and tranquillity. The photos do not do the property or the view any justice; you must inspect to fully appreciate the breathtaking views.”
The property is just a 15 minute drive to the international and domestic airports, and five minutes from James Cook University and Smithfield Shopping Centre.
