Overview

Set on an elevated and flood-free corner allotment in a desirable Scarborough pocket, this property offers a rare chance to either renovate the existing character timber home or to pursue redevelopment. The 556sqm site enjoys dual street frontage with significant dimensions, enhancing accessibility and potential uses.

The current residence features a thoughtful layout with two separate living areas, accommodating varied day-to-day activities, alongside two spacious bedrooms and an adaptable study that can serve as a third bedroom. The central kitchen is generously sized, supporting comfortable family meal preparation and social interaction.

Outdoor spaces extend generously around the home, ideal for family gatherings, gardening, or future extensions. Additional amenities include a garage/studio and a carport, catering for at least two vehicles and offering extra storage or workspace.

Positioned within walking distance to Scarborough Village and Queens Beach North, with the Southern Cross College/Technical College just across the street, the location blends convenience with lifestyle appeal. Zoned for next-generation residential developments, the property holds potential for subdivision or duplex construction (subject to council approval), with a permissible 3-storey height limit allowing for views and sea breezes.

This property is particularly suited to buyers seeking a substantial coastal block with versatile options: renovators aiming to restore character homes, families desiring room to grow, or investors/developers exploring future growth opportunities in a tightly held area. Opportunities of this size and flexibility are infrequent in Scarborough, making this an alluring prospect for a range of purchasers.
