2 Duke Street

Sunshine Beach QLD 4567

While under construction, the owner would come up on annual holidays and live in the 7x7m garage which had all the conveniences - kitchenette, bathroom, WC and laundry. It wasn't tough or rough living this was a fun, carefree lifestyle and Sunshine Beach was remote and pristine.

Occupancy of Duke Street wasn't until 1986. Needless to say, the lifestyle was idyllic. So perfect in fact that the owner has never felt the need to move until now, almost 36 years on.

This beachside gem has continued to be nurtured, maintained and updated by the owner throughout the years.

The design is a simple open plan, split level format with cathedral ceilings, exposed rafters and beams. Enduring materials: rendered concrete block walls, hardwood timbers and natural slate floors add to its casual appeal.

Today the home is surrounded in luxuriant gardens with numerous native birds such as Kookaburras and Currawong regular visitors.

Courtyards enveloped by colourful tropical plants enhance the privacy of the home. In the evenings, spotlights throughout the grounds create a magical ambience.

A lap pool with a unique water feature and night lights is so private and protected you could enjoy a swim clad only in Nature's garments.

Colourful gardens, comfy chairs, treasured tchotchkes garnered from travels around the world, a ceiling fan, a hammock and day bed; no wonder this is where the owner prefers to spend the majority of time.

It is little wonder the building inspector said the property is solid and well maintained when he inspected the home on June 27, 2021.

A trendy, beachside mansion this property is not. It's more like a step back in time, a bohemian abode for the buyer looking for their own private sanctuary, a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the simple joys of living at the beach - Sunshine Beach.
