How often have you heard "Real Estate is all about Location, Location, Location"? The popular seaside village of Sandgate is on your doorstep and for those working in the CBD a mere 30 minute train ride home would have you living a stone's throw from the sparkling bay waters and marina. A few moments stroll at sunset would have you enjoying fish'n'çhips by the sea whilst canoeists and paddle-boarders meander passed, fishermen sit patiently waiting for the perfect catch and lone pelicans bob along the tide. Even Brisbane's most popular trawlers, known for their fresh Moreton Bay seafoods, are within walking distance. The Shorncliffe/Sandgate region is still one of Brisbane's favourite weekend escapes - living here is like being on holidays! And that may just be why Shorncliffe has earned the fact-based distinction of being Brisbane's most tightly held suburb; very few homes in this enviable precinct are ever released to market.
20 Bevington Street Shorncliffe is a blue-chip acquisition reserved for the astute purchaser, and a rare opportunity not to be missed. Make this your revered family estate for many decades to come.
