This neat-as-a-pin half duplex, nestled in serene Andrews Close, offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, privacy and security, all just a one-minute walk from the beach (2 minutes if you dawdle). With a narrow frontage, the 405sqm, fully fenced lot widens at the rear, to a totally private garden oasis with no view of any neighbours.
The other duplex half is next door, they are built back-to-back, separated by a high courtyard wall, it's a very clever design. The owners share the water bill and an insurance policy, but there are absolutely no Body Corporate levies to pay.
This solid block home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it ideal for couples or small families seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle. The master suite has an ensuite, robes, beautiful garden views and lovely natural light. The second bedroom offers direct access out to the pool and a robe. The third bedroom is convenient to the second bathroom, and it too has a robe and window views out to the pool area.
The open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge area features 2 double door openings out to the pool area and another to the back of the property, assuring through sea-breezes. On the really hot days, the living room and the master suite both have split-system air-conditioning to keep you comfortable.
Enjoy the luxury of your own private 7x3m salt-water pool, the central feature of the property, with a large undercover outdoor living space. You'll spend plenty of time out here, it has space for dining, lounging and generally relaxing poolside, listening to the plentiful birdlife.
Not knowing they'd be selling, the vendors improved the property late last year with a brand-new, insulated, over-engineered, very tall lockup garage and carport, providing additional storage, weather protection and privacy. It also offers drive-through access for up to 3 additional vehicles, or camper, caravan, boat etc. An additional undercover carport space lends itself to redevelopment, expansion etc. Atop the new garage and carport are 18 solar panels, so that sorts out the power bill!
This property is designed for easy living, with no stairs to navigate and very little maintenance as there's only a small lawn area to mow out the front. This neat and tidy property would make an excellent lock-and-leave option for those who travel frequently or those who want an easy winter retreat in Port Douglas.
Due to the fabulous location, the current owners successfully holiday-let this property for many years prior to making the move to live here permanently. So, the potential is proven for income in your absence, for holiday or short-term rental options.
The walkway to the beach takes you through Bruno Redweig Park, with electric BBQ, dining pavilions and a brand-new children's playground with a rubber softfall surface.
Experience the ultimate in privacy and relaxation in this much-loved home, where the beach is just moments away. Location and lifestyle at an affordable price. Walk to the beach with your cup of tea each morning, watch the sunrise….now that's living!
