Meticulously stripped to the shell and rebuilt just two years ago as a custom residence for the current owners by Environs Development, this is a rare Gold Coast resale that lives like new construction - thoughtfully reimagined with a floorplan that caters perfectly to modern living without a single compromise.

All five bedrooms feature en-suite baths, including a standout primary suite with two large walk-in closets and a luxe bath with dual water closets. The massive library/office, anchored by floor-to-ceiling built-ins and framed by steel and glass doors, is adjacent to a third-floor lounge that opens to a 19x16 covered terrace complete with ceiling mounted heaters and an outdoor fireplace for year-round comfort. The lower level includes an enormous guest suite, a glass-enclosed wine wall, a proper fitness room with sauna, a dog room with shower, a 2nd laundry, a massive storage room and a mudroom with direct access to the garage complete with a car lift.
