Get set for spring in Sorrento

The new owners of this stylish Sorrento holding will be perfectly poised to take advantage of waterfront living as the weather warms up

THERE’S a sense of promise in the air when you survey the inclusions on offer from this well-appointed waterfront residence on the Isle of Sorrento.

With a private pool and barbecue on one side and a pontoon with provision for boats and jet skis on the other, the options are certainly enticing as the weather starts to warm up.

It’s easy to imagine kids playing in the sandpit under the shade of a Poinciana tree or reeling in a flapping bream from the private sandy shoreline.

As day turns to night, the covered alfresco terrace with a wet bar and teppanyaki barbecue is ideal for dinner and drinks against the backdrop of a shimmering city skyline.

“There isn’t a lot to compare this to on the Isle of Sorrento,” said marketing agent Michael Kollosche.

“To have five bedrooms, and be facing east to water, in the geographical centre of the Gold Coast’s major private schools is ideal for families.

“The house is also at the end of a cul-desac on a quiet street so the position is peaceful.”

High angled ceilings and sophisticated styling add a refined edge to modern coastal finishes, including white-washed timber flooring and plantation shutters.

Kids have their own space to play in a rumpus room located off the ground floor bedrooms, while parents will appreciate the privacy of an upstairs master retreat with a waterfront balcony.

Cooking will feel less of a chore thanks to a view over the water and working from home is made possible through an office with easy access from the front gate.

Interest has been high in the lead-up to the spring auction, said Mr Kollosche, with lifestyle real estate still very much the focus for buyers.
