51 Amarina Avenue, Mooloolaba, Qld 4557

Amber Werchon Property proudly presents 51 Amarina Avenue, Mooloolaba - a truly special home where design, character, and lifestyle come together in the most unexpected ways.

Originally built in the 1980s and rich with timber charm, this home has been lovingly transformed over the past 15 years into a contemporary coastal sanctuary - carefully modernised while preserving the soul that makes it unlike anything else on the market.

Positioned just moments from the beach and local shops, the low-set house is set behind electric gates and intentionally designed to turn inward, creating a sense of privacy and retreat. Entry is via the drive-through garage - a design choice that becomes one of the home's most defining and surprisingly appealing features. Once inside, the outside world simply disappears.

It's a hidden sanctuary - a place where this family has raised their children from babies through to teenagers, wrapped in a sense of seclusion, safety, and calm that is incredibly rare this close to the coast.

Inside, it's a joy to explore, with each room offering its own moment of character and charm. Soaring raked timber ceilings draw your eye through the light-filled open-plan living, dining, and kitchen, and out toward the heated pool. The kitchen sits at the heart of the space, thoughtfully extended and finished with stone benchtops and quality appliances, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

In the main bathroom, a clawfoot bath sits alongside contemporary tiles and fixtures, while the original timber window frame has been retained and the tiling finished with simple timber beading - a small but telling detail. As the owner shared, "we didn't want to try to make it something it's not." That approach carries throughout - a commitment to working with the home's character rather than against it.

Stepping back outside, the surprisingly generous alfresco area, covered by a large flyover roof, has been designed as a true extension of the home - complete with a rustic, industrial-style outdoor kitchen - making it just as comfortable for everyday living as it is for entertaining, from family meals to larger gatherings that naturally flow around the heated pool.

Surrounding all of this, every element of the landscaping has been thoughtfully layered over time - from pressed gravel pathways to ivy and staghorns covering the established palms, creating an enchanting garden environment. Hanging baskets add softness and movement, while the premium Sir Grange Zoysia lawn provides a lush, no-mow finish, ensuring beauty without the upkeep.

At the rear, a pretty rockery adds versatility - a sandpit in the daytime, a firepit in the evening - always a place to connect, unwind, and spend time together.

The house itself offers three spacious bedrooms, including a master suite complete with walk-in robe and private ensuite, all positioned to complement the relaxed and functional layout.

Adding further flexibility is the cleverly reconfigured garage. One half has been transformed into a welcoming multipurpose room, complete with charming French doors that open to the front - it's currently used as a salon space, but equally suited to a home office, studio, or fourth bedroom. A separate storage area tucked away behind a barn door also houses a sink and hot water system - features that make conversion to a third bathroom a natural next step, opening the door to a fully self-contained retreat if desired.

The remaining drive-through half of the garage offers flexibility for parking, storage, or an extension of the entertaining zone - ideal for larger gatherings, casual get-togethers, or weekend projects.

A 13kW solar system adds to the home's efficiency, ensuring long-term savings without compromising lifestyle.

Homes like this don't follow a formula - and that's exactly what makes them so special. Private, soulful, and filled with thoughtful detail, this is a home that reveals more the longer you spend in it.
