PERFECT HOMES FOR PARTYING
Five class acts built to reflect Gold Coast at its best
We’ve picked five Gold Coast properties on the market that will entertain you beyond the Christmas and New Year holiday season
DIDN’T get what you wanted yesterday for Christmas?
Here are five “entertainer” Gold Coast homes on the market — offering Caribbeanstyle pool settings to private rooftops and Monte Carlo-inspired cinema rooms — that would be a belated present.
The only downside is Santa’s after-hours delivery service is closed so you’ll need a fat cheque book.
According to Eddie Wardale, from Kollosche Prestige Agents, a property should have three key elements to be classed as an “entertainer”.
“Obviously people want the unique rooms like the media rooms, but the big ones are generous decking and the size of the pool,” Mr Wardale said.
A good vantage point was also a plus: “When Mum or Dad can be in the kitchen and be able to watch over the pool, that is ideal”.
A five-bedroom, threebathroom family home at Broadbeach Waters meets the brief – 22 River Crescent, on the market for $2.69 million, features a dedicated media room, and the sleek kitchen overlooks the outdoor entertaining area. “You have a spa right next the pool, an expansive to deck, and it all looks over the best part of 180-degree water views which makes it very special,” Mr Wardale said.
“It’s definitely up there with the top entertainers on the market on the Gold Coast.”
At almost $10 million, 22-24 Admiralty Drive, Paradise Waters, has a unique point of difference.
Sound-proofed, seven-seat home cinema? Check. Indoor pool? Check. State-of-the-art entertainer’s kitchen? Check. Various living wings? Check.
But this grand residential property also features a Poinciana tree shielded by a high wall taking pride of place in the middle of manicured lawn, and is “ideal for largescale entertaining or a safe children’s play area”.
The home was designed for the Matsushita family, the clan behind the Panasonic Electronics empire.
Are you not entertained? You will be if you dim the lights and put on a classic favourite in the supersized cinema room with plush carpet sourced from a Monte Carlo casino at 85 Gibraltar Drive, Isle of Capri.
Downstairs, a booth-style dining room complements a customised kitchen, complete with a servery window, builtin coffee machine and butler’s pantry.
The heated pool and tiled spa are set against a private sandy beach and there’s a built-in outdoor kitchen.
Million-dollar views come with matching price tags and 1/7 Boodera Rd in Palm Beach is no exception.
The new home was custom built with the latest technology but it’s all about the “360-degree views, sea breezes, screened roof structure, glass balustrade, engineered long life timber decking, light and power for the night time use,” A perfect spot for New Year’s.
