Breathtaking! Simply breathtaking, is my reaction to this awesome property situated in a perfect garden on the high side of much admired Paradise Drive. The landscaping starts where the bitumen ends and a fine pebblecrete driveway leads up to enclosed 2 car accommodation underneath the northern end of the home. There is a glimpse of steps up to a front verandah with all the trimmings of a colonial as you drive by, but even that can not prepare you for the dramatic beauty behind the blue picket front fence.

Classic double sided steps lead up to a long front verandah with a beautiful leadlight glass entry door. When you step onto the verandah you see a cosy nook down one end and an open sun bathed northward looking relaxing area at the other. Turn around for a moment and the views to both east and north will have you reaching for your camera. In one direction is the wonderful Gold Coast. In the other direction behold the timbered ridges and beyond to the Bay Islands. The front verandah also wraps around northern end of the house for a perfect winter sun spot.

When the front door opens you are ushered into a classic entry hall which echoes the traditional themes throughout the home. These themes include: very high ceilings, polished hardwood floors, pressed metal dados, Federation archways, traditional fretwork fanlights above the doors, superb timber & glass French doors, double hung timber windows and stunning reproduction pendant lights that speak strongly of 100 years ago.

Inside these walls so well designed for modern living, you will find a classic entry hall, beautiful relaxing lounge room, large dining room, cosy family living, a great kitchen with white tongue & groove timber cupboards and white tile backed stainless steel cooking centre, plus 4 double bedrooms and an office as well as main & ensuite bathrooms. The 4 bedrooms all feature soft sage green carpets and the bathrooms echo similar tonings.

When you step out through the back door onto the large half rotunda shaped verandah, you step into another world. It is outdoor living Heaven here on the verandah with an overflow party BBQ rotunda snugged into the garden on top of 1 of the 2 big in-ground concrete rainwater tanks. This is not just a dream garden setting for your outdoor entertaining, but a magic place with extensive water features, boardwalks, arbours, dainty lawns and all sorts of sweetly flowering beauties. This rear garden is very securely fenced and enclosed for real privacy. But, as they say, there’s more! Somehow, there is also room for a thriving vegetable patch and a chook run complete with happy, healthy chooks.

Everything is beautiful, perfect and immaculate here. I have certainly never seen a more enchanting property in all my years in real estate. It is special, very special!
