If you are in the market for a family home, this is it. Close to schools, shops and parks 12 Innes Avenue, Molendinar ticks all the boxes for a family of four or five. Quiet street, large fenced backyard, large bedrooms, large study area. If you want to be at the centre of all the action this is the place for you. It’s a home with character, quality, space and charm on a 974 m2 block with back yard privacy that has to be seen to be believed. Innes Avenue – named in 2014 as the Gold Coast’s top street - is a hidden gem. It’s in the centre of Gold Coast action: schools, university, hospital, supermarkets, sports facilities – they are all on your doorstep. How far? Five minutes. Number 12 Innes Avenue Molendinar – just across the road from Ashmore - is different, not that you can tell from the conservative exterior.
Step inside and you are greeted by room after room with floors of highly polished Queensland Brush Box – one of the finest and most expensive hardwood timbers – that give this home rarely seen character. The home is split level – two steps – and features a new all-white $30,000 Don Allen kitchen that contrasts with the rich colours in the brush box flooring. The kitchen leads to a new laundry with a back door to the covered and open patio overlooking the private rear yard.
There are three large bedrooms all with built-ins – the main has a renovated ensuite – that easily accommodate King, Queen and double beds. The two rear bedrooms have the main near-new bathroom with shower and spa and a separate toilet. There is a formal entry hall, 9m X 5m lounge and a study with 3.5 m long built-in computer desk – a great place to set up office that doubles as a quiet study area for kids. There are plenty of shelves for books and storage needs and enough space on the desk for three study areas.
The large backyard is full fenced and ringed by magnificent trees home to abundant birdlife in nearby properties ensuring privacy rarely found in the suburbs. The large back patio is partially covered for dinner parties with another open area for those balmy summer nights and to catch the Sun on cool winter afternoons. This home, with 8’ ceilings in the upper area 9’ in the lounge and main bedroom, is set on a gentle sloping block. It has position, position, position.
Nearby amenities include the new $1.3 billion Gold Coast Hospital, University, private schools including Trinity Lutheran College and Aquinas College, shopping centres include Ashmore City and Ashmore Plaza as well as Crestwood Plaza and a new Aldi is being built near Ashmore City and a drop-kick away from Bunnings. Innes Avenue to Southport or Nerang is a 10 – 12 minute drive, the M1 to Brisbane or Coolangatta is five minutes, Metricon Stadium 10 minutes, Surfers Paradise 15 minutes via Chevron Island or the Isle of Capri. With its large block sizes this part of Molendinar is an alternative to the narrow streets and small lots in the newer part of Molendinar called Crestwood Heights.
