11 Bruce Street, Torquay, Qld, 4655

11​ ​Bruce​ ​Street​ ​has​ ​something​ ​many​ ​homes​ ​simply​ ​do​ ​not.​ ​It​ ​has​ ​genuine​ ​personality.

From​ ​the​ ​wide​ ​front​ ​verandah​ ​and​ ​warm​ ​natural​ ​finishes​ ​to​ ​the​ ​soaring​ ​open-plan​ ​living​ ​area​ ​and​ ​enormous​ ​rear​ ​entertaining​ ​deck,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​that​ ​feels​ ​relaxed,​ ​individual​ ​and​ ​unmistakably​ ​coastal.

Set​ ​on​ ​an​ ​805m²​ ​allotment​ ​beachside​ ​of​ ​Boat​ ​Harbour​ ​Drive​ ​and​ ​approximately​ ​900​ ​metres​ ​from​ ​the​ ​beach,​ ​the​ ​property​ ​offers​ ​three​ ​bedrooms,​ ​two​ ​bathrooms,​ ​secure​ ​side​ ​access​ ​and​ ​an​ ​exceptional​ ​setup​ ​for​ ​anyone​ ​needing​ ​room​ ​for​ ​the​ ​caravan,​ ​boat,​ ​project​ ​car,​ ​additional​ ​vehicles​ ​or​ ​weekend​ ​hobbies.

Step​ ​inside​ ​and​ ​the​ ​main​ ​living​ ​space​ ​immediately​ ​makes​ ​an​ ​impression.​ ​Dramatic​ ​raked​ ​ceilings,​ ​exposed​ ​timber​ ​beams,​ ​high-set​ ​windows,​ ​woven​ ​bamboo​ ​detailing​ ​and​ ​polished​ ​timber​ ​floors​ ​create​ ​a​ ​wonderful​ ​sense​ ​of​ ​openness,​ ​warmth​ ​and​ ​character.

The​ ​kitchen​ ​sits​ ​naturally​ ​at​ ​the​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home​ ​and​ ​includes​ ​gas​ ​cooking,​ ​extensive​ ​bench​ ​and​ ​cupboard​ ​space,​ ​an​ ​island​ ​bench​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​pantry.​ ​Open-plan​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​make​ ​everyday​ ​life​ ​easy,​ ​while​ ​sliding​ ​doors​ ​create​ ​a​ ​direct​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​the​ ​outdoor​ ​entertaining​ ​area.

And​ ​outside​ ​is​ ​where​ ​this​ ​property​ ​truly​ ​comes​ ​into​ ​its​ ​own.

Measuring​ ​approximately​ ​7.87m​ ​by​ ​7.95m,​ ​the​ ​enormous​ ​covered​ ​rear​ ​deck​ ​functions​ ​as​ ​an​ ​additional​ ​living​ ​area​ ​in​ ​its​ ​own​ ​right.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​ample​ ​room​ ​for​ ​everything​ ​from​ ​quiet​ ​morning​ ​coffees​ ​and​ ​Sunday​ ​lunches​ ​to​ ​weekend​ ​barbecues​ ​that​ ​stretch​ ​well​ ​into​ ​the​ ​evening​ ​with​ ​family​ ​and​ ​friends.​ ​A​ ​ceiling​ ​fan​ ​adds​ ​comfort,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​adjoining​ ​fenced​ ​backyard​ ​provides​ ​usable​ ​lawn​ ​for​ ​children,​ ​pets​ ​or​ ​gardens.

The​ ​wide​ ​driveway​ ​and​ ​secure​ ​side​ ​access​ ​continue​ ​through​ ​a​ ​remote-controlled​ ​gate​ ​to​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​of​ ​the​ ​property,​ ​where​ ​the​ ​substantial​ ​detached​ ​double-bay​ ​garage​ ​with​ ​workshop​ ​area​ ​measures​ ​approximately​ ​6.7m​ ​by​ ​7.79m​ ​and​ ​features​ ​two​ ​roller​ ​doors.

This​ ​is​ ​much​ ​more​ ​than​ ​somewhere​ ​to​ ​park​ ​the​ ​cars.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​the​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​garage​ ​many​ ​Australians​ ​dream​ ​about,​ ​with​ ​room​ ​to​ ​install​ ​a​ ​proper​ ​workbench,​ ​keep​ ​the​ ​pride​ ​and​ ​joy​ ​under​ ​cover,​ ​tinker​ ​with​ ​cars,​ ​work​ ​on​ ​the​ ​boat​ ​or​ ​create​ ​the​ ​ultimate​ ​workshop​ ​or​ ​private​ ​“men’s​ ​shed”.​ ​Whether​ ​it​ ​becomes​ ​Dad’s​ ​weekend​ ​domain,​ ​a​ ​home​ ​for​ ​the​ ​next​ ​restoration​ ​project​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​your​ ​own​ ​place​ ​to​ ​escape​ ​and​ ​get​ ​stuck​ ​into​ ​something,​ ​the​ ​possibilities​ ​are​ ​considerable.

A​ ​separate​ ​covered​ ​carport​ ​and​ ​additional​ ​hardstand​ ​area​ ​provide​ ​even​ ​greater​ ​flexibility​ ​for​ ​storing​ ​a​ ​caravan,​ ​boat,​ ​trailer​ ​or​ ​additional​ ​vehicles.

Back​ ​inside,​ ​the​ ​accommodation​ ​includes​ ​three​ ​well-proportioned​ ​bedrooms​ ​with​ ​ceiling​ ​fans,​ ​together​ ​with​ ​two​ ​bathrooms.​ ​The​ ​spacious​ ​family​ ​bathroom​ ​features​ ​both​ ​a​ ​bathtub​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​shower,​ ​while​ ​a​ ​second​ ​shower​ ​room,​ ​separate​ ​toilet​ ​and​ ​dedicated​ ​laundry​ ​add​ ​everyday​ ​convenience.

Two​ ​split-system​ ​air-conditioners​ ​service​ ​the​ ​main​ ​living​ ​area​ ​and​ ​primary​ ​bedroom.​ ​Tinting​ ​to​ ​most​ ​windows​ ​provides​ ​additional​ ​privacy​ ​and​ ​comfort,​ ​while​ ​security​ ​screens​ ​add​ ​further​ ​practicality.

The​ ​home​ ​already​ ​delivers​ ​a​ ​comfortable​ ​and​ ​highly​ ​practical​ ​lifestyle​ ​while​ ​giving​ ​its​ ​next​ ​owner​ ​the​ ​freedom​ ​to​ ​personalise​ ​selected​ ​finishes​ ​over​ ​time.​ ​Introduce​ ​your​ ​own​ ​colour​ ​palette,​ ​modernise​ ​at​ ​your​ ​own​ ​pace​ ​and​ ​create​ ​a​ ​coastal​ ​home​ ​that​ ​feels​ ​completely​ ​individual​ ​to​ ​you.

Importantly,​ ​the​ ​hard-to-add​ ​lifestyle​ ​ingredients​ ​are​ ​already​ ​in​ ​place,​ ​including​ ​the​ ​land,​ ​secure​ ​side​ ​access,​ ​entertaining​ ​space,​ ​parking​ ​and​ ​substantial​ ​garaging.
