Every so often an extraordinary property comes onto the market.
It’s exactly what so many people want but do not expect to find any more.
Not in this day and age, and certainly not at Sunshine Beach.
An original two-bedroom, one-bathroom beach house on 611sq m at 21 Duke St goes to auction Saturday, 17 January, at 2pm.
Caitlyn McConnell and Tania Wood of Sunshine Beach Real Estate are marketing the property, built in 1977 and among the earliest houses built in Sunshine Beach.
On a medium density site, the beach house is one of the last remaining original properties in the area.
Having been held within one family for nearly 50 years, it embodies the unique character and history of Duke Street.
“There has been an incredible response,” Caitlyn said. “It has never been to the market – the current owners built it.
“There has been constant inspections at each open house since mid December.
“So many locals have walked past and been curious.
“Their response has been never thinking such a property would become available.
“They appreciate the original nature and the central position in Duke St.
“It is exactly as many expected.”
The property has been a family holiday house and could easily be renovated or moved to another part of the property to allow an extension.
The block features a lush, elevated outlook and development potential due to the zoning.
The immediate access to one of Queensland’s most sought-after coastal communities enhances its appeal, Caitlyn said.
The house is positioned for privacy on the block and features a north-easterly facing front deck that catches the sea breezes.
In true beach house style, the two loft bedrooms are separated by a partition wall.
