Last Listing description (January 2025)

Channeling the nostalgia of sun-soaked beach days, with sundowners on the porch and surfboards, towels, and swimsuits at the ready, this iconic mid-century beach home at 26 Seashell Avenue is a rare gem.

Architecturally designed and constructed in the 1960s, this original 'Beachcomber' style home offers an eclectic blend of timeless charm, vibrant interiors, and inviting outdoor spaces, making it an unmissable and versatile opportunity for beach lovers.

Offering a sprawling almost 16 m frontage and one of the largest street setbacks from kerb to boundary in the neighbourhood, this vintage Mermaid Beach treasure masterfully combines authentic design elements of modern mid-century with Palm Springs influences. With rich timber tones, extensive terrazzo tiling, wrought iron details, tumbled feature bricks, and breeze-blocks, this retro gem is inimitable in every sense.

A broad north-facing deck sits atop a pair of external curved staircases and wraps around the first floor, overlooking a tree-lined front yard where towering, established Moreton Bay Black Beans, banana palms, and flowering jasmine serve as a testament to the property's colourful heritage.

Inside, a light-filled atrium, with soaring raked ceilings and VJ lined walls connects with three bedrooms, a galley-style kitchen, lounge room, dining area, and rear alfresco deck, creating a central breezeway that invites refreshing ocean breezes throughout the home.

A tiled, gated swimming pool, visible from the rear leisure deck, enhances the retro Slim Aarons vibes and basks in abundant sunshine. A separate studio-style space with a private bathroom sits below the main house on ground level, making it ideal as a kids' or teen retreat, guest suite, or spacious work-from-home office den.
