Waterfront cul-de-sac | North-facing 1,006m² | Rare building envelope | Boatshed potential This property occupies an uncommon position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, with north-facing water frontage on a full 1,006m² block. For a family buyer seeking a single-level home with genuine waterfront access, the configuration is competitively rare , most comparable blocks in Carrara are smaller or south-facing. The 405m² building envelope and 4m ground elevation give practical headroom for renovation or extension, while the existing ducted air conditioning, solar panels, and pool reduce immediate holding costs. It suits a buyer who values private deepwater access without the premium of a main-river address, and who has capacity to upgrade finishes over time. The flood overlay is the primary risk , it may restrict certain renovations and push insurance premiums higher than typical Gold Coast waterfront properties. Buyers should verify council overlays for permissible building height and set-back before committing. The 1985 build is structurally sound but interior presentation (carpet insets in slate, dated bathrooms) will require a refresh to reach top-of-market resale value. On the opportunity side, the 7m roof height and 40% site coverage suggest potential for a second-storey addition or a boatshed, which would significantly lift the property’s ceiling. Hold as a long-term family home with staged improvements, or renovate selectively and exit into the premium waterfront market within five years.
