Forget the car, you won’t be needing it

YOU can’t get any closer to the bright lights and action of The Star and Broadbeach than this home tucked away at the end of a quiet canal directly behind the casino precinct. Yet while cafes, restaurants, Pacific Fair and the casino are nothing more than a short stroll away, once inside this luxury architect-designed home, a sense of peace and privacy prevails.

Having been entirely remodelled and renovated a few years ago, the home makes use of almost every square inch of the 835sq m block on which it sits.

Its size allows for wide open-plan living spaces and a large master suite, as well as plenty of “hideaway” areas where family can find a quiet place to sit.

The property is owned by a prominent local doctor and his family, who are consolidating their portfolio with the intention of purchasing a trophy home.

Marketing agent Joshua Soineva of Amir Prestige Group said the property was a stunning home with the highlight being the views from its back deck and the convenient location.

“Photos can only capture so much, but when you walk into this home, the corridor is really wide and then opens up and out to the back deck, from where the city skyline captures attention. The house almost has an infinity feel to it over the water,” he said.

Outside is where you’ll be tempted to spend most of your time, either on the alfresco deck, in the pool or relaxing under the poolside gazebo.

Boat owners are also well catered for, with the property having a private jetty off a stretch of sandy beach, offering easy access to main river.

Mr Soineva said he had several groups through the property, with most of the interest coming from Sydney and Melbourne, as well as Brisbane buyers.

“There have been some locals but we’re still seeing a large number of buyers from interstate, which is what has helped to keep our market buoyant,” he said.

“It is surprising that this demographic is still stimulating the market here, but buyers are looking for lifestyle opportunities and that is what Broadbeach offers – lifestyle.”
