The beachfront property is set on an 745sqm allotment and boasts standout features including a floating glass pool with ocean views, elevator, rooftop terrace and eight-car garage.<\/p>\n
Described as an \u201centertainer\u2019s dream\u201d, the 712sqm house was designed by director of Lachlan Shepherd Architects, Lachlan Shepherd.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is honestly the best house that I have seen in Torquay,\u201d Mr Carson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe architecture and the attention to detail, the look and the feel, there was no expense spared.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe owner\u2019s built it as their retirement home \u2026 what has changed their mind is purely COVID. Not being able to travel overseas and chasing the warmer weather, they are going to move to Queensland and be closer to family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Carson said the property was on the market for 12 months and during that time there had been about 30 inspections before the ideal buyer in that price range came along.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cCompliments to the owners too, not once did they waver, they were always adamant that that\u2019s the price they were wanting to achieve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have been absolutely awesome and I\u2019ve kept them updated on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m absolutely rapt to have had the opportunity to sell it and the vendors and purchaser are both very happy and both are very nice people.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Carson said McCartney Real Estate was also excited by another stellar listing, with the upcoming auction of three vacant blocks of land on the corner of Cowrie Road and Felix Crescent in sought-after Old Torquay.<\/p>\n The allotments which are 899m2, 728m2 and 609m2 will be auctioned on Saturday, March 5 at 12pm.<\/p>\n \u201cSince I put the signs up it is amazing the interest I\u2019ve had. People from Singapore and Canada have already called me,\u201d Mr Carson said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe inquiry I have had already is unbelievable.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so chuffed to be able to sell those blocks and this will be the best auction I reckon I\u2019ve ever done in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A luxurious architect-designed home with uninterrupted views at 189 The Esplanade has sold for what is believed to be a new price record for Torquay.
