First time to the market! Located only 350metres from the Sunshine Beach village shops, across the road from Ferris Park, only a 2 minute walk to the national park entrance and 600m to the Sunshine Beach Surf Club. How good does it get?
It is rare to find such a quirky, colourful, character property so close to the beach these days. Particularly one that retains a lived-in appeal, a sensible scale and a footprint that doesn't dominate the site. It's obvious from the moment you step onto the property there has been many a fun time here, happy memories and it's a place you could readily fall in love with.
The owner recounts that when work commenced on this property in 1981, Duke Street was a dirt road. The building was the first house in the street and was, at the time, considered the best house in Sunshine Beach.
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.
