What's around Oasis Drive

House description

“Your Waterfront Oasis Awaits”

Absolute level waterfront nestled in a tropical oasis, awaits your genius touch to restore this 3-bedroom Hardiplank low-set home, built in 1992. Or, demolish and take the 597m2 blank canvas to create your island masterpiece.

This is indeed, a very rare opportunity! Renovate and reap rewards, or knock-down and rebuild.

Let’s look at the advantages:
• Waterfront location
• Level block suitable for low or high-set house
• Private setting with nature reserve adjacent
• Views to North Stradbroke Island
• Fishing/boating from the backyard
• Great floor-plan to enhance
• Carport and shed
• Easy renovation with no-fuss access to rear
• Peaceful, sleepy hollow
• Established gardens
• Close to town

Located at the end of a no-through road, adjacent to the seldom-used reserve which dissects Oasis Drive at its lowest point, you’ll find this curb-side charmer. Shielded by palm groves flanking either side of the entry path, you’ll get your first glimpse of the water as you approach and look through the stumps, to the backyard.

The wide steps lead to a timber deck, completely screened with white plantation shutters, double entry-doors and a faux Queenslander façade, reminding one of holidays at Grandma’s. Step through the front-door to reveal the open-plan living and dining area, both with sliding-door access to a deck either side.

Take your breakfast on the back-deck and watch the sun rise over North Stradbroke Island, with only Canaipa Passage between you. This waterway connects the Gold Coast to Brisbane and provides safe passage for smaller yachts and boats, protected from the Pacific Ocean by the land mass of ‘Straddie’.

Watch the world come alive as the birdlife awakens to the dawn and feeding time begins. The lawn stretches to the water’s edge and laps gently against the fallen logs, creating habitat for the birds, crabs and fish. Throw a line in and you’re sure to catch something, as snapper, bream and flathead are all found in this area.

Coming back indoors, mind the rotting boards and raised tiles in the laundry (all very fixable) and be sure to remove those dew-soaked boots. This separate and secure access gives you options to enter the house from the rear, if spending time outdoors and the laundry-tub doubles as a great place to clean those fish!

The kitchen really does need a revamp, but you have a large footprint to work with and wonderful views out to the water. L-shaped in design with room for large fridge, there’s a pantry, dishwasher and electric stove, all quite functional while you decide what to do.

There’s air-con in the spacious lounge area and the dining zone conveniently connects from both the lounge and kitchen, flowing out to the deck. When you repair that back-deck, add some extra depth for entertaining friends and family and you’ll also double your living area.

The three bedrooms occupy the sleeping wing and are serviced by a full bathroom, with vanity, separate shower and bathtub. The toilet Is directly opposite. The master bedroom has a ceiling fan and large built-ins, with direct access to the rear-deck through the sliding-doors. The other two bedrooms are large, bright and airy, with bedroom-2 also having built-ins.

Tiled throughout in a mix of styles, this home is ready for a makeover, so it blends seamlessly and feels fresh. A couple of coats of paint, new light fittings, modern floor coverings and perhaps a floating vanity for the bathroom and you’re almost there. Add a new kitchen and some window treatments and it’s totally transformed.

Outside is shaded to the North-East by the ancient trees and vines that add a pop of colour, from the vibrant bougainvillea to flowering gums and the giant mango. It is bird heaven with so many nectars to choose from and bees love it too, for the myriad of flowers to pollinate.

There’s a carport to the side, but if altered, you could get your tinnie or trailer-boat to the waterfront, anchor it and have it at the ready. Alternatively, you could sail a larger vessel up the passage and moor directly ‘in front’ of your house, then watch it from your lounge-room (instead of the TV). Moorings do come up in this part of the passage, so be sure to start your research.

What could be improved:
• Back-deck—Replace and make it bigger and better
• Kitchen needs overhaul, but functional as is
• Laundry requires new tiles to entry from back-deck
• Gardens deserve a haircut
• Paint throughout to freshen-up
• Turn backyard into spectacular entertaining zone
• Reconfigure carport to gain water-access for boat

It’s not perfect, but this home has good bones and is ready for a new family to make memories here. However, the location can never be replaced and is where the value lies. Waterfronts are rare, level blocks almost unheard of and having a large reserve as your neighbour, can only be an asset.

Ducks live here. Large trees grow here. And, you could reside here, too!
