94 Treasure Island Avenue, Karragarra Island, QLD, 4184, Australia

Ahoy there, treasure seekers!

If you’re searching for that perfect island home that ticks all the boxes, this coastal 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, plus study, has a huge entertaining area and a separate studio, offering that idyllic lifestyle in the sun.

The moment you arrive at 94 Treasure Island Avenue, you’ll know you’ve struck gold! The location, relaxed vibe and proximity to Brisbane and the Gold Coast make this property a wonderful place for special family holidays, your forever island home, or an excellent investment opportunity.

Not one, but two driveways frame this 589m2 North-facing block, with the cute cottage taking centre-stage in a sun-bleached palette of surfmist-grey Colorbond and seafoam-white accents.

Fully-fenced and landscaped, this home is bursting with personality. From the colourful butterfly privacy-screen to the sculpture walk and gravel pathways with wide stepping-stones, everywhere you look reveals a bit of magic.

Entering from the left, take the steps to the covered front-deck where you can kick off your shoes and leave your worries behind. Welcome to the foyer of this vast open-plan living.

You’ll be impressed with the white-washed exposed rafters and banks of skylights, filling the home with natural light and all-day sunshine. Loads of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors provide views to the greenery outside, but it’s the sand-toned vinyl floors and ceiling fans that lend a breezy, beachy feel.

Lazy summer days are assured!

Your eye automatically travels to the lofty ceiling, then past the expansive living, beyond the gleaming kitchen and directly to the rear gardens, where you’re drawn to the versatile outdoor living-room, doubling the size of the house, again, with its timber floors, lockable glass sliders, light-wells and breezeways.

You just know this fully-insulated, cavernous space is where you’ll spend your downtime. Unless you’re an artist, musician or have a hobby that leans you more toward the dedicated studio with natural light, storage and private entry. Either way, you can’t beat this lifestyle opportunity, with space for everyone to do their thing, without annoying anybody else.

The outdoor spa takes it to another level, sheltered and totally private, you can unwind while overlooking the secluded reserve, where the wallabies play at dusk and dawn.

You’ll find lots of surprises, both indoors and outside with clever features like:
• Glass-fronted storage uniting the kitchen and laundry
• Kayak racks amongst the tropical foliage
• Pet-doors in sliders for self-access
• Sky-windows for natural light
• Space-saving barn door to master bedroom
• Studio, ready to fit-out for your home-business, or leave as-is for a retreat space
• Cosy nooks for siestas or quiet-time
• Outdoor all-weather, Queenslander living-room (comes with 6-person outdoor setting)
• Visual stimulation from sculpture gardens
• Privacy, created by solid walls and purposeful planting
• Natural elements to complement the environment
• Suntraps all around and secret arty spaces

Back indoors, there are two separate sleeping wings, each with a private bathroom. The master suite occupies the front-wing and has a mirrored robe, direct access to the front-deck and a fabulous grey-and-white ensuite with exposed timber beams for natural warmth. You’ll pass a further walk-in-robe as you make your way to this spa-like sanctuary with textured wall tiles, open shower and a bespoke stone-top vanity with wide basin.

The second suite is situated to the rear, via the kitchen. It makes a great guest retreat or perfect space for a teenager, with the bonus guest bathroom serving as an ensuite. Plus, there’s a study area that could work as a nursery or chill-space, with a timber deck to lure you outdoors. Currently, a grand ‘pussy palace’, complete with chandelier, connects to the deck for the resident felines. Don’t worry, it’s completely mobile and will be leaving with the cats.

The laundry sits between the office and bedroom and has an inter-connecting door to the garage (convenient on shopping days to the mainland) with easy access to the island-bench floating between the laundry and bleached-blonde kitchen. Easy-care stone benchtops and a breakfast bar for four, makes this an ideal family zone.

Black hardware adds a carefree Hamptons-style to the kitchen, while the ceramic butler’s sink takes care of entertaining platters and roasting pans and the dishwasher looks after plates and glasses. An electric under-bench oven and cooktop with recessed exhaust, make mealtimes a pleasure. There’s plenty of drawers for storage and overhead cabinets to display your wares. A large Bosch fridge is included and has its own nook with more storage.

Entertaining is easy, with the kitchen acting as the hub between the indoor and outdoor living areas. The home flows well and can be accessed from many points, perfect for a home-business or consulting practice from the separate studio.

The secure grounds and lockable 16m-long garage with workshop, power and concrete floor, make this an excellent property for an island tradie that requires off-street parking. Fully-insulated, it never gets hot in summer and the rear security-door creates a welcome breezeway.
