32 Cinderella Street, Machans Beach, Qld 4878

Ask any Cairns taxi driver who has been behind the wheel for 30-plus years about “the house on the beach with the swimming pool on the roof” and they’ll know exactly where to take you. It’s one of those homes that has become part of the local landscape – instantly recognisable, often talked about and impossible to forget. In fact, there’s a good chance many locals have heard of it without ever knowing which street it calls home.
Positioned towards the southern end of Cinderella Street, this is one of just 31 eclectic residences enjoying an uninterrupted, absolute beachfront position overlooking the Coral Sea. And now, after almost 38 years of original ownership, this extraordinary property is being offered to the market for the very first time.
The setting is simply irreplaceable. Step outside and the beach is yours, with nothing between you and the ocean but sand, sea breezes and those endless ocean views.
Spread across multiple levels, the solid block home offers a surprisingly versatile layout. The ground floor features a fully self-contained flat, ideal for extended family, guests or additional accommodation, alongside a tandem lock-up garage with convenient drive-through access to the beachfront.
The mid-level is home to three bedrooms, a lounge room and kitchen, with a beach-facing deck providing the perfect place to take in the ocean outlook. Upstairs, a generous family room opens onto the rooftop entertaining deck, where the property's famous tiled swimming pool takes centre stage. Imagine cooling off in your own rooftop pool while gazing across the Coral Sea. There are very few places where life gets better than this.
Let's be honest, this home isn't pretending to be something it’s not. There is certainly scope for cosmetic improvements and a little imagination, but that's part of the opportunity. Behind the existing finishes lies an extraordinary beachfront position, a distinctive architectural personality and a lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated.
Offered for auction on 12 December, unless sold prior; with a reasonable reserve anticipated, genuine offers will be considered before auction day.
ICONIC. IRREPLACEABLE. ABSOLUTE BEACHFRONT.

Properties like this rarely come to market, and opportunities to secure a piece of Cairns' beachfront history are even rarer. For interested developers, the adjoining property (30 Cinderella St) is also separately available offering a DOUBLE (1112m2) beachfront opportunity… but do not delay your enquiry!! In living memory, I cannot recall two adjoining residential beachfront properties ever being available simultaneously.
Contact Chris Marsh to arrange your private inspection or secure your place at one of the scheduled open homes. This is one beachfront address you really do need to experience for yourself.
