There are homes that simply offer accommodation, and then there are homes that completely redefine the way you live. Positioned within one of Scarborough's most tightly held seaside pockets, this architecturally designed residence delivers an exceptional combination of privacy, quality craftsmanship and remarkable versatility, all just moments from the sparkling waters of Moreton Bay.

Imagine starting each morning with the fresh sea breeze drifting through your home before taking a short stroll to the waterfront for a coffee, a walk along the foreshore or a swim at one of Scarborough's beautiful beaches. Spend weekends enjoying the vibrant café and restaurant precinct, launching the boat from the nearby marina, cycling the endless waterfront pathways or simply soaking up the relaxed coastal atmosphere that has made Scarborough one of the Peninsula's most sought-after places to call home.

Designed to embrace its enviable northern aspect and capture beautiful ocean views from the rear, the home has been thoughtfully planned to maximise natural light, cooling bay breezes and complete privacy. Every element has been carefully considered, from the generous proportions and soaring ceilings through to the premium finishes and practical layout that caters effortlessly to modern family living.

What truly separates this home from almost anything else available is its remarkable dual living design. Thoughtfully configured to provide exceptional flexibility, the lower level features a full-sized family kitchen, while the upper level is serviced by its own well-appointed kitchenette, spacious living and dining area, bedrooms, bathroom and laundry facilities. Whether you're accommodating multiple generations, welcoming ageing parents, providing independent living for older children or simply searching for a home that can evolve alongside your family's changing needs, this intelligently designed residence offers possibilities that are exceptionally difficult to find.

A beautifully designed shared foyer further enhances the flexibility. Enter through stunning decorative feature doors into the central foyer, where each level is accessed independently. The ground floor opens directly into the main residence, while the upper level is secured behind its own private entry door, allowing complete separation when desired while still functioning beautifully as one substantial family home.

Adding even more versatility, the upstairs lounge features stylish double barn doors, allowing it to be enclosed as a third bedroom if required. This creates the potential for a three-bedroom upper-level retreat complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom and laundry-perfect for extended family, guests or additional income opportunities through short-term accommodation (subject to relevant approvals) or long-term leasing.

Built to an exceptional standard, the home also embraces modern living with a solar power system, dedicated EV charging station and a secure workshop with roller door adjoining the oversized double carport. Whether used as a home gym, workshop or storage for paddleboards, jet skis, bicycles or fishing gear, it's the perfect complement to the incredible coastal lifestyle.

Beautifully landscaped gardens provide exceptional privacy while remaining wonderfully low maintenance, allowing more time to enjoy everything this location has to offer.

The lifestyle is second to none. Leave the car at home and walk to the Scarborough waterfront, Scarborough Beach, Queens Beach, marina, cafes, restaurants, boutique shopping, parklands and weekend markets. Quality schools, shopping centres, Kippa-Ring train station, Brisbane Airport and Brisbane CBD are all within easy reach, making this an exceptional place to call home.

Homes offering this level of flexibility, quality and lifestyle in such a tightly held coastal location are exceptionally rare. Whether you're searching for the ultimate multi-generational residence, an investment with income potential or simply a home that offers something truly unique, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
