With ocean views you can’t lose

A STATELY Bushland Beach home with views to die for has hit the market with a price tag of $749,000.

The four-bedroom, three-bath, three-car home at 5 Cashell Crescent offers sea views, an in-ground pool with gazebo and sun-drenched decks.

It’s positioned on 804sq m of land in a hilltop location to maximise the 180 degree views and cool ocean breezes.

Ray White Douglas selling agent Nicole Plozza said the home would suit a family as, despite the property having an elevated position, it had a flat yard.

“The land at the front of the house is flat, the backyard is flat so it would be great for kids to be able to run around,” she said.

“There is a height restriction on the title for anyone building across the road so you’ll never lose those views.

“The views go right out to Palm Island.”

Ms Plozza said the home was a great buy.

“It offers exceptional value,” she said. “With prices of houses here – you just can’t build for that.”

The open-plan kitchen has plenty of bench space with high-quality fitting and appliances with an aqua-coloured panelling inspired by the sea views.

The spacious theatre room has Japanese-style screen doors with wall-to-wall windows offering views of the sparkling pool.

The master suite has ocean and island views, walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite with dual vanity and opulent tiling.

There is also a separate children’s retreat that can also serve as a lounge room.

The triple remote lockup garage has built-in storage while there is another storeroom that is airconditioned and can be accessed from the garage.

Homeowner Michelle Andrejic has lived in the home with her husband and two children for seven years after the family designed and built the house.

She said she would be sad to say goodbye but they were moving to be closer to relatives.

“The views are amazing and of course the pool, which is beautiful and breezy,” she said. “We wanted the house built around the pool and to catch all the views and breezes as well as making sure the kids had their own playroom.

“We’ve loved living out here. It’s nice and quiet.”
