Overview

20/4 Thornton Street Surfers Paradise QLD 4217

Located on the corner of Thornton Street and Garfield Terrace, this prime north-east, beachside apartment on Level 5 of the Acapulco complex offers protected ocean views, a spacious floor plan, and an unbeatable location. Situated directly across from Surfers Paradise's Northcliffe patrolled surf beach and Surf Club, the proximity to the ocean and the G-Link Tram makes this an ideal property for both investors and owners.

This fully furnished unit has been updated since new and is ready for immediate move-in or rental. It features quality fixtures including stone benchtops, a spa bath, a separate laundry and storage area, near-new carpets, fresh paintwork, and ceiling fans, all contributing to its underlying value. The essentials have been completed, allowing you to enjoy the property as is or to further personalise the space to suit your tastes.

Built in the early 1980s, the Acapulco building is a prominent feature of the Surfers Paradise skyline. It combines convenience with resort-style comfort in one of Australia's most iconic coastal destinations. The complex boasts a large corner footprint with an outdoor pool, expansive entertaining areas, and a well-maintained tennis court. These facilities provide enjoyment for residents and create ample space between this property and its neighbours. With new construction becoming more expensive and smaller in design, this solid apartment represents incredible value per square metre internally, plus a substantial share of the large land parcel on which it sits.
