Luxury waterfront home fit for family

Nestled in the heart of this family-friendly island is a luxury waterfront home that offers views down the canal as well as plenty of space for kids to play

ROSS and Nicole Cush took the term “seeking a sea-change” literally when they bought this luxury waterfront property.

The couple owned a farm out west but in 2012 decided to pack up their family and visit Broadbeach Waters in search of the perfect coastal home.

“We’d always holidayed in Broadbeach so we knew the area really well,” Mr Cush said.

He said they inspected almost 20 houses in one weekend without any luck.

It was by chance they stumbled upon 13 Sheridan Park Ave.

Mr Cush said after giving up hope, they saw a property they liked in the window of a local agency.

The agent said they wouldn’t be able to see the property before making the five hour trip home but he offered to show them a similar one that was being built.

The Cush family took a second look when it was finished and fell in love with it.

“It was exactly what we wanted,” Mr Cush said.

He said they liked the home’s position on the canal and the street was family friendly, with children playing cricket on the road when they first visited.

“One of my favourite features of the whole home was the guest suite downstairs,” Mr Cush said.

He said it was perfect for family members who struggled to tackle stairs.
