Only a 90 second walk and you are in the beautiful clear waters of Bribie Island's only surf beach. Leave the car in the garage and take a leisurely stroll to the hotel, cafes, shops and surf club, all just minutes away. It goes without saying the location is hard to beat. And then there's the house. The best features of its beginning as a charming beach cottage have been preserved - the original French doors, the side verandah, the chamfer boards - while thoughtful remodelling and extension have added soaring ceilings, generous spaces and contemporary inclusions. The result is truly one of a kind, a spacious beach home that blends a ton of character with an equal measure of modern comfort. And all the while, there is the ever present sound of the ocean. There are two queen-sized bedrooms on the ground floor, one with ensuite, while the other is adjacent to the large family bathroom. The second level comprises the huge master suite, with its full-length covered deck and ocean views, kitchenette, and ensuite with his and hers vanities and rainfall shower. Of course, there's masses of storage. For bigger families, there is ample potential to create one or even two additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite, on the ground floor. A large living area at the front of the home and an equally spacious, open-plan kitchen/ living/ dining area at the rear that spills seamlessly via concertina doors to a covered verandah (fully screened to keep insects out, without limiting ocean breezes, light, or the view of the lush tropical gardens) makes this home the perfect entertainer. The super-functional kitchen boasts a 'proper' butler's pantry, which opens to a large laundry/utility room with Robin Hood ironing station (there's another of these in the master suite) and a huge antique, silky oak linen press that will stay with the house. Plantation shutters and heaps of storage throughout, a 'hidden' art studio in the rear garden, a completely private, vine-covered, rustic outdoor shower with hot water, and established trees providing privacy, add even further to the appeal of this special home.
