A Rare Character Home Just Moments from the Waterfront

Embrace the very best of the Scarborough lifestyle from this truly distinctive residence, where timeless character, refreshing sea breezes and a coveted north-east aspect come together in a wonderfully private and low-maintenance home.

Set within the grounds of a former convent and occupying part of the historic science building, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of architectural charm and relaxed coastal living - all just a five-minute stroll to the waterfront.

Wake to beautiful natural light, enjoy the cooling bay breezes throughout the day and take in water views and glimpses across to Moreton Island from the living areas and balcony. With its north-east orientation, the home is perfectly positioned to capture the coastal atmosphere and enjoy the changing colours of the sky from sunrise through to sunset.

Inside, soaring ceilings, immaculate polished hardwood timber floors and a stunning original architectural staircase create an immediate sense of warmth, character and individuality.

Location is undoubtedly one of this home's greatest attractions.

Within an easy five-minute walk, you'll reach the Scarborough waterfront, where pristine beaches, parklands, playgrounds, BBQ areas and picturesque foreshore paths invite you to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.
