THE LOCATIONThe absolute waterfront location provides a unique marine experience. The perfect Northerly aspect of the home faces the property's own private stretch of canal while to the South; the other side of the home overlooks canal-front parkland... a glorious choice of two separate water views.Birkdale's Aquatic Paradise is a prestigious canal estate created specifically to cater to the yachting and boating enthusiast. Some of the best and most varied boating waters in Australia are literally right on the doorstep. The canal system opens out to the waters of Moreton Bay Marine Park and South East Queensland's great sand islands. For racing or group sailing enthusiasts, the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is a short sail away at Manly with several other boating and fishing clubs within easy reach.The remarkable clean waters of the Aquatic Paradise canals are home to their own populations of marine life and regular visitors include pods of dolphins swimming in from the Marine Park.Well established local infrastructure includes shopping centres, well-regarded schools, colleges, medical and transport facilities - most within walking distance of the home. Nearby Birkdale train station offers a comfortable 40-minute ride into the city. The area offers plenty of walking tracks along the Esplanade of Thorneside and Birkdale. Nearby Wellington Point offers a high standard of alfresco dining with restaurants lining the Main Road - a very popular spot for locals and tourists alike.For all its "sea change" feel, Birkdale is surprisingly convenient with just a 30-minute drive to the City or Gold Coast and even less to Brisbane's domestic and international airport.Bayside Brisbane has become a focus for those seeking a slightly cooler and more relaxed lifestyle than the inner city or other inland suburbs. Population growth and the increasing rarity of bayside land have accelerated the values of property in this area over the past three years.

The terracotta-tiled study has two phone lines and high speed broadband internet cabling.To the right of the entry is the
