VON BIBRA FAMILY HOME HITS MARKET

This family-friendly home at Benowa Waters has been successfully revamped to make the most of its space and location, near a shopping centre, schools and parks.

GOLD Coast automotive identity Wade von Bibra and his wife Caroline are selling their stylish Benowa Waters home.

Set on 902 sqm waterfront block, the von Bibra family spent more than $300,000 on redesigning the home after they bought it in 2015.

“It was a very tired looking home when we found it and it belonged to an elderly man but it was in a great location and had a great feel about it when we stepped inside,” Mr von Bibra said.

“We decided to put a lot of effort into it to bring it back to life.

“There were trees blocking the view and it had an 80s style.”

The four-bedroom home now has open-plan living and a seamless flow to the poolside entertaining terrace that captures wide water and skyline views.

Stylish wallpaper and pedant lighting combines to create a modern design.

With magazine-style spaces Mr von Bibra said his wife was responsible for the design.

“She loves interior design and she’s done a good job of making it family friendly for our four little ones,” he said.

“My favourite part about the home is how interconnected all the spaces are, there's a sense of convenience about each space.

“It’s a light and bright home and it lets in a lot of sunshine. The botanic gardens are also located down the street.”

The property is close to Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre, schools and parks.
