231 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach, Qld 4221 - More Details
Auction
Rich with history and nostalgic charm, this absolute beachfront cottage captures the carefree spirit of a bygone era. Designed in 1958 by prominent mid-century architect Athol W. Bretnall – whose distinguished body of work included Brisbane's Domestic Airport and Law Courts and Hamilton's original Butter Board building – it has been treasured by three generations of the same family ever since.
A haven that represents the simple pleasures of sand, surf and sun, (and the memories made with loved ones along the way), it boasts an address and potential that is equally prized. Surrounded by trophy homes on prestigious Jefferson Lane, the possibilities that await with this blue-chip beachfront holding are as extraordinary as its outlook.
Lovingly preserved in its original form across a split level, timber hardwood floors, tongue & groove raked ceilings and Masonite panelling reference its classic character. Upstairs, a kitchen and living area spills onto an expansive deck that maximises the mesmerising, uninterrupted ocean views – panoramas that continue in the master suite. The cottage has three bedrooms, a bathroom and an additional living area that opens to a covered terrace. This flows onto a generously sized, fenced backyard, where only a gate separates you from your morning surf, swim or beach stroll.
Occupying a 413m² block in a coveted Palm Beach enclave, perhaps its greatest allure is the promise of what comes next. Preserve the much-loved cottage and its irresistible old-school holiday charm or capitalise on its lucrative potential and harness the exceptional scope to create a luxury new residence worthy of its landmark address (STCA). Whichever path you choose, there is no doubt this enviable location and lifestyle will continue to be treasured for generations to come.
