THE MARGATE RETREAT | A Lifestyle That's Getting Harder to Find
Hidden away at the end of a private battleaxe driveway, this is more than just a home - it's the kind of lifestyle many families dream about but rarely find this close to the water.
Set on a generous 759m² block just a short stroll from the Margate waterfront and boardwalk, this property offers something increasingly valuable in today's market: space, privacy, security and the freedom to simply move in and enjoy life from day one.
Imagine the kids riding their bikes safely up the driveway, setting up backyard cricket matches, exploring the cubby house, collecting eggs from the chicken coop, helping in the veggie garden or playing with the family dog in a backyard that's large enough to enjoy but easy enough to maintain. Complete with a stable cubby house, garden shed, two water tanks and plenty of usable outdoor space, this is a backyard designed to be enjoyed rather than simply maintained.
Inside, the hard work has already been done. Plantation shutters throughout, multiple split-system air conditioners, solar power with a 4.6kW Sunny Boy inverter and solar hot water combine to create a comfortable, energy-efficient home designed for easy everyday living. There are no major projects waiting for your weekends and no expensive renovations hiding around the corner - just a well-maintained home ready to enjoy from the moment you move in.
The main living area provides a comfortable place to gather, featuring carpet flooring and a powerful 7.1kW split-system air conditioner. The kitchen is practical and functional, offering generous bench space, a breakfast bar, a Chef electric cooktop, rangehood and Westinghouse wall oven, making everyday family life simple and convenient. NBN fibre-to-the-premises connectivity adds another layer of convenience for modern living.
All bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, ceiling fans and their own split-system air conditioning for year-round comfort. The king-sized master bedroom features mirrored sliding wardrobes and a private 2.5kW split-system unit. The oversized main bathroom includes a walk-in shower with rainhead and single vanity, while the additional Jack and Jill-style bathroom provides added flexibility for busy households.
With the rising cost of living continuing to influence buying decisions, homes that offer comfort, practicality and manageable running costs are becoming increasingly sought after. This is a home where you can settle in with confidence, knowing the big-ticket items have already been taken care of.
The location only adds to the appeal. Leave the car at home and enjoy a short walk to the waterfront, beaches, parks and scenic walking tracks. Margate Village Shopping Centre is only two minutes away, while Kippa-Ring Shopping Centre, Kippa-Ring Train Station and Redcliffe Hospital are all within easy reach. Multiple local sporting fields nearby and sought-after school catchments for Humpybong State School and Redcliffe State High School further enhance the lifestyle on offer.
What makes this property especially appealing is that it delivers both immediate enjoyment and long-term confidence. The substantial block provides space for children to grow, room for hobbies and outdoor activities, and flexibility as family needs change over time. It's the kind of property that feels right today while continuing to offer value well into the future.
Private. Practical. Comfortable.
