50-52 Catamaran Street

Russell Island QLD 4184

Standing on the timber deck and looking through the breezeway, its hard to know whether to go indoors or venture to the rear entertaining area.

Lets start outside!

Stepping down to the breezeway, theres a handy bar at the end of this pleasant sitting area which integrates with the enormous covered entertaining zone, complete with outdoor kitchen, electric screens and seating for large all-weather occasions. Imagine, family BBQs, parties and romantic dinners under fairy-lights, here?

Look around and admire the lush and well-maintained grounds.

Be amazed by the gracious Poinciana that forms a sculptural centre-piece, shady and delicate against the backdrop of the adjacent conservation zone, where magnificent old tallows, ironbarks and gums provide a fringe of security. Then notice the ornamental plantings and edibles, such as banana, avocado, ginger and other fruit trees lining the boundary of this double-block.

Maybe a resort-style pool would enhance this wonderful retreat space, with a thatched-roof hut and meditation pavilions for reflection?

Multiple entrances with farm-gates, open to carports, sunsails and endless parking for your vehicles, caravan, boat, truck or trailer. And, theres a pedestrian-gate to the council land at rear, for forest walks and your own fire-trail maintenance.

Plus, theres:
room for a pool to complete your retreat lifestyle
3 garden sheds
slab for caravan, trailer or boat (or granny flat, perhaps?)
sheltered arbour to outdoor laundry & drying zone
fire-pit for evening yarns
covered entertaining area with electric screens
separate gated entrances to each block
gravel paths & parking bays
concrete driveway to carport
fully-fenced
gas hot water, solar panels & water tank
Genset switch for power back-up
security camera/alarm system

Retrace your steps to the front and consider whether the breezeway makes more sense as a dedicated games area with billiard table; a media room; or perhaps an all-season studio with glass doors? Continue up the wide steps and stop to ponder a moment and feel the breeze coming off Canaipa Passage, just a few hundred metres to the East of this no-through traffic area. Listen to the birdlife and relax in the silence.

Time to go inside.

The first thing youll notice is the glossy-white kitchen with its abundant storage and black-stone benchtops floating effortlessly, while the island-bench with breakfast-bar takes centre-stage, connecting the light-filled open-plan living and dining spaces.

Theres all the features youd expect in a family kitchen:
dishwasher
gas cooktop, exhaust-fan & electric oven
double-sink
stone benchtops
breakfast bar
wide drawers
loads of cupboards top & bottom
large fridge space
microwave nook
endless power-points & phone-charging station
pantry
storage for bulky items, cleaning & sporting gear

Blonde plank flooring adds an island vibe and youll appreciate the ducted air-conditioning throughout, with touch-screen-control to maintain the temperature to your liking. Ceiling fans offer further options, gently stirring the ambient air.

Large North-facing windows let in sunlight to the living zones, with blinds controlling just how much. The intuitive floor-plan places the bedrooms on the East-wing with two convenient, 2-way bathrooms. One serves as an ensuite to the master bedroom, while the main bathroom allows outdoor-access and adjoins bedroom-2.

All three bedrooms have ceiling fans, built-ins, full-size windows and the low-maintenance timber-look flooring continues. Bedroom-3 has a pull-down ladder for attic storage. The bathrooms are fresh and bright with crisp white tiles, modern vanities, frameless shower-screens with grab-handles for easy access, without hobs or swivel doors to navigate.

The modern design of this build, allows you to follow the shade or sunshine all-day from the covered porch and breezeway, to the entertainment area in the North-East facing yard. Linking the indoors with the entertaining area is possible by replacing the dining room window with bi-fold doors and a deck, giving you a natural flow to the outdoors.

With so much usable space, you could retain the property as a large estate, or perhaps take advantage of the cleared separate 612m2 site, to:
build a granny flat for extra income
develop a new-build (subject to council approval) for a solid capital gain
sell-off the vacant block, for instant return on your investment

Positioned at the North-East-end of the island, youll be rewarded for your astute buying. Jackson Road off-lead dog-park and Pioneer Childrens Memorial Park are a couple of blocks away via Conservation Corner; and Whistling Kite Wetlands are opposite, for wildlife habitat and nature trails.

The Blue Bus runs past for the school pick-up/drop-off and youre only a few minutes drive to town, ferry and all services. The public boat ramp, Sandy Beach and Turtle Swamp Wetlands are all to the South and within a short distance.

If youve always wanted a private larger block without the hassle of building, 50-52 Catamaran Street is hidden in a secret haven and surrounded by nature, where youll feel like youre on holidays, every day.
