Last Listing description (January 2025)

This location can not get any better. What an opportunity for a seasoned renovator. Unfortunately, illness has prevented the current owners from continuing with their dream renovation. This is now your opportunity to jump in and finish this once-in-a-lifetime project. The home currently offers a Queenslander residence that is mid renovation, but liveable in its current condition. Underneath the home there is another room (although not quite legal height), this space under the home offers so much more space for storage, and your laundry facilities are located here as well. A brand new colour- bond shed fitted with a high clearance door access and a 10kw solar system is ready to go. There is even a council-approved shipping container onsite that will stay to offer more storage solutions. This home is definitely a challenge, but it is something that will be very rewarding for the right purchaser. A beachfront location like this does not present itself every day.

So far, the owners have completed the following:

? Brand New Colourbond Shed with high clearance

? 10kw solar system
? New Kitchen and appliances
? Upgrades to electrical
? Some plumbing upgrades (not yet completed)
? Some painting
? Fencing of the property
? Some new floorcoverings (there are timber floorboards hiding and waiting to be rediscovered)
? The beginning of a brand new bathroom upstairs (a new tub, WC and tap will be included in the sale)
? Plans and framework for a new 8 mtr x 5 mtr deck including engineering and ready to submit for council approval - (The roof and frame are included with the sale)
? Some external cladding
? Council Approved Shipping container

You can see there has already been significant investment made into this property, and it is so close to being a finished product. The whole property offers a 1341m2 parcel of land with two street frontage to both Thomas Street and Quay Street. As a special bonus, this site is also zoned Low-Medium density residential according to the WRC town plan. There is potential to redevelop this whole site (STCA) or continue with the renovation to complete this property into your dream beachside address.

Just steps away, you are standing on the crisp white sand and heading down to the crystal clear water's edge. This location also offers a beautiful view of the Bowen jetty, which really sparkles at night. The sailing club is just steps away, and the beach is perfect for the kids to play and the dog to have a long walk with his master.

Are you ready to get your hands dirty and capitalise on this amazing location? This property is going to be highly sought after, don't miss the scheduled OPEN HOMES or you will for sure miss this opportunity.
