14 Tate Street, Kurrimine Beach, Qld 4871

Situated approximately 100 metres from the beach, this two-storey holiday home has water views, and you can hear the waves lapping on the sand as you doze off at night.

Sitting on 665 sqm, this property has been one man's sanctuary for the last 28 years. He has enjoyed the fishing and the camaraderie of this tight-knit beach community. The village has two pubs, a couple of restaurants, and a couple of takeaways, along with a post office and service station; really, all you need.

The home itself features a massive bedroom upstairs, which opens through two sets of French doors onto the full-length front verandah. The sea breeze is perfect. The bathroom and kitchen are downstairs, along with the large living room. All in good order. The upstairs bedroom could easily be two bedrooms. There is a covered and paved back patio with complete privacy and a very useful workshop/shed in the backyard. A carport runs the length of one side.

There was a room added at the side at some stage, but this room leaks and is not particularly useful as it is. There has also been a leak above the rear toilet, most likely caused by blocked gutters overflowing.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get into the Kurrimine Beach market at an entry-level price. Think long morning walks on the beach, bountiful fishing and snorkelling, and camping on the islands just offshore. The reef is so close that at the right time of the year, you can walk to it.

It is not Buckingham Palace, but it is in a much better location.
