Waterfront Home with Council Approved Professional Studio
Yes you heard right. A huge council approved studio lies within this quality waterfront home in sought after Paradise Quays. Currently used for personal training it is ideal for sports massage, Pilates, acupuncture or dance. It doesn't have to be sports related though as the permit allows for Home Occupation and the separate entry and parking facilities cater for these.

You also have the option of an in/out driveway. The double timber entry doors open up to a foyer with guest bedroom to the right and fully fitted office to the left. The corridor flows past a formal lounge and the media room on one side and full height windows to the studio on the other. From here the home becomes split level and you can descend down to the informal areas of kitchen, dining and living which all open up to the waterside patio with auto Vergola and the pool and pontoon. The kitchen is high gloss timber with stone and stainless steel enhanced by gas cooking. A practical curved breakfast bar easily accommodates four. From this level you can access the studio with shower and toilet facilities from inside the house. Your clients of course would use the other entry direct from outside. The studio itself is impressive with floor to ceiling mirrors, fans, separate air conditioning and quality timber floor. What is more impressive is the Home Occupation permit which comes with the house. Much, much cheaper than renting external space and much, much more convenient. Upstairs via a timber and stainless steel balustrade you will find four more bedrooms and a small area. The waterside again has a balcony and the highrises of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise shimmer on the horizon. Here the master bedroom has a large walk-in robe and an ensuite bathroom and relaxing spa. This house is where you work, rest and play.
