61 Point Cartwright Drive, Buddina, Qld, 4575

There's​ ​a​ ​particular​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​magic​ ​to​ ​a​ ​home​ ​that's​ ​been​ ​loved​ ​since​ ​the​ ​late​ ​'70s.​ ​Add​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​you​ ​have​ ​DA​ ​approval​ ​and​ ​plans​ ​for​ ​a​ ​duplex​ ​and​ ​the​ ​magic​ ​becomes​ ​believable.​ ​61​ ​Point​ ​Cartwright​ ​Drive​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​Kawana​ ​Waters'​ ​original​ ​holiday​ ​homes,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​still​ ​carries​ ​that​ ​easy,​ ​barefoot​ ​spirit.​ ​But​ ​make​ ​no​ ​mistake:​ ​this​ ​is​ ​far​ ​more​ ​than​ ​nostalgia.​ ​It's​ ​a​ ​position​ ​most​ ​people​ ​spend​ ​years​ ​searching​ ​for,​ ​sitting​ ​on​ ​a​ ​footprint​ ​with​ ​genuine​ ​future​ ​potential.

Here's​ ​what​ ​you'll​ ​love:

Start​ ​with​ ​the​ ​walk.​ ​The​ ​beach​ ​is​ ​just​ ​a​ ​stroll​ ​away​ ​—​ ​close​ ​enough​ ​that​ ​a​ ​spontaneous​ ​sunset​ ​dip​ ​is​ ​simply​ ​what​ ​you​ ​do​ ​on​ ​a​ ​Tuesday.​ ​The​ ​boat​ ​ramp​ ​is​ ​800​ ​metres​ ​down​ ​the​ ​road​ ​for​ ​the​ ​days​ ​you'd​ ​rather​ ​be​ ​on​ ​the​ ​water​ ​than​ ​beside​ ​it,​ ​and​ ​if​ ​canals,​ ​parks,​ ​and​ ​ocean​ ​access​ ​are​ ​more​ ​your​ ​pace,​ ​you've​ ​got​ ​three​ ​parks​ ​and​ ​water​ ​frontage​ ​just​ ​300​ ​metres​ ​from​ ​your​ ​door.​ ​Kawana​ ​Shopping​ ​World​ ​is​ ​a​ ​900-metre​ ​stroll​ ​for​ ​the​ ​everyday​ ​errands,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​surf​ ​club​ ​is​ ​a​ ​six-minute​ ​bike​ ​ride​ ​for​ ​the​ ​mornings​ ​that​ ​call​ ​for​ ​a​ ​coffee​ ​and​ ​a​ ​horizon.

Then​ ​there's​ ​the​ ​view​ ​—​ ​or​ ​at​ ​least,​ ​the​ ​promise​ ​of​ ​one.​ ​With​ ​potential​ ​water​ ​glimpses​ ​on​ ​offer,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​with​ ​room​ ​to​ ​grow​ ​into​ ​something​ ​even​ ​more​ ​special.
For​ ​those​ ​who​ ​need​ ​to​ ​get​ ​further​ ​afield,​ ​Birtinya​ ​Transport​ ​Centre​ ​is​ ​a​ ​quick​ ​10​ ​minutes​ ​by​ ​car,​ ​keeping​ ​the​ ​wider​ ​Coast​ ​and​ ​beyond​ ​well​ ​within​ ​reach.

And​ ​for​ ​the​ ​investors​ ​and​ ​future-planners​ ​in​ ​the​ ​room:​ ​council-approved​ ​plans​ ​for​ ​two​ ​townhouses​ ​are​ ​already​ ​in​ ​place,​ ​giving​ ​this​ ​address​ ​serious​ ​flexibility​ ​—​ ​live​ ​in​ ​it,​ ​hold​ ​it,​ ​or​ ​develop​ ​it.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​meantime,​ ​it's​ ​currently​ ​returning​ ​a​ ​strong​ ​$39,000​ ​a​ ​year​ ​in​ ​rental​ ​income,​ ​so​ ​the​ ​numbers​ ​work​ ​hard​ ​while​ ​you​ ​decide​ ​what's​ ​next.

The​ ​home​ ​itself​ ​has​ ​been​ ​kept​ ​honest​ ​and​ ​current​ ​where​ ​it​ ​counts​ ​—​ ​a​ ​complete​ ​internal​ ​renovation​ ​ten​ ​years​ ​ago,​ ​with​ ​brand​ ​new​ ​carpet​ ​throughout​ ​added​ ​just​ ​three​ ​years​ ​back.​ ​It​ ​is,​ ​fully​ ​fenced,​ ​connected​ ​to​ ​town​ ​sewer,​ ​with​ ​rates​ ​a​ ​manageable​ ​$3,700.

This​ ​is​ ​a​ ​rare​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​listing​ ​—​ ​one​ ​with​ ​genuine​ ​Kawana​ ​Waters​ ​heritage,​ ​a​ ​walk-everywhere​ ​lifestyle,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​runway​ ​for​ ​whatever​ ​comes​ ​next.​ ​Homes​ ​like​ ​this​ ​don't​ ​come​ ​up​ ​often,​ ​and​ ​when​ ​they​ ​do,​ ​they​ ​don't​ ​last​ ​long.
