Penthouse ticks all boxes

IT’S beachfront, offers multimillion-dollar views, and has multiple entertaining areas across two levels. Welcome to the penthouse at 19 Broadbeach Blvd, Broadbeach. This luxury pad, set to go to auction next month, is in one of the most exclusive addresses on the Coast. The boutique building has just seven residences, including the penthouse, which occupies levels 7-8.

Vendor Dean Willaton and wife Theresa bought the property in April 2020, swapping life on a cattle station at Mitchell, seven hours west of Brisbane.

“We decided to downsize our business out there and Therese and I came to the Coast to semi-retire,” Mr Willaton said.

“Our daughter was also doing year 11 and 12 here so it just made sense.

“As soon as we walked in we were sold,” he said. “We only came down for the day and we inspected this apartment twice and decided to buy it. It ticked all of our boxes.”

The floorplan offers 452sq m of living space with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, library, butler’s pantry, wine cellar and private lift.

The massive balcony comfortably seats a romantic dinner for two or can accommodate a cocktail party of 50.

“The view of the ocean is amazing,” Mr Willaton said. “Out west you get the big views of the sky and when we came here and looked out that window we saw the ocean and the sky – it was similar in that sense.”

The opulent master bedroom has an ensuite, lounge area, private balcony and walk-in wardrobes. There are four car spaces and a large storage cage.

Resident facilities include a pool and covered barbecue alfresco area on level one.

The building is on a quiet road along the beachfront of Broadbeach. It is a short walk to the bright lights of Broadbeach, with shopping outlets, restaurants and cafes.

Mr Willaton said the family was selling to make the move to the Sunshine Coast.

“We’ve had so much fun here,” Mr Willaton said. “We’ve bought a small acreage on the Sunshine Coast where we are going to breed and train quarter horses. “We are getting back to what we know.” Tolemy Stevens of Harcourts Coastal is marketing the property.
