27/8 Petrie Street

There are very few opportunities in central Mackay where you can step from your backyard and onto the beach, while still being just minutes from the City Centre. 27/8 Petrie Street is one of only three completed beachfront homes in East Mackay, occupying an incredibly rare position with the Coral Sea quite literally on its doorstep. But it's not just the location that sets this property apart.

Custom designed, award-winning and built by Gemini Homes in 2015, this substantial two-level residence offers 293m² under roof, combining quality construction, generous proportions and a clever floorplan designed for relaxed family living by the coast. From the moment you enter, the home's sense of space is immediately apparent. A soaring entry void creates an impressive welcome, while a built-in study nook provides a practical work-from-home space without compromising the home's clean, open design. Upstairs is where everyday living takes centre stage.

The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows seamlessly through generous stacker doors to the covered outdoor entertaining area, set among the treetops and perfectly positioned to capture the coastal breezes. Together, the spaces create one large indoor-outdoor zone for everyday family life and entertaining. At its heart is an impressive kitchen with an oversized stone island bench, quality appliances, gas cooktop and walk-in butler's pantry.

Generous bench space and storage make it as practical as it is striking, while the adjoining living and dining areas provide plenty of room to gather. Also positioned upstairs, the spacious master suite creates a private retreat away from the rest of the home, complete with an oversized walk-in robe and generous ensuite with dual vanities. A separate powder room adds further convenience to the upper level. Downstairs has been designed with flexibility in mind.

Three generous air-conditioned bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom, laundry and second living area opening directly to another covered outdoor space and the yard - the ideal setup for children, teenagers, visiting family or guests. Outside, the home's functionality continues. Excellent side access and concrete hardstand lead to a powered 6m x 4m shed with 15-amp and 240V power, while the oversized 7m x 6m garage provides further secure parking and storage. There's also room to consider a future pool, subject to council approval.

Importantly, this is a home purpose-built for its coastal environment. Marine-grade hardware, a core-filled boundary wall designed to assist with privacy, noise and wind protection, and a thickened engineered slab are among the thoughtful construction details behind the home's contemporary design. A 6.6kW solar system and bore-fed automatic irrigation add further practicality. And then there is the position. Walk through the rear of the property and across the coastal reserve to the sand.

Take an early morning walk along the dog-friendly beach, enjoy an afternoon by the water or simply come home, open the doors and let the sea breeze roll through. Oceans International Hotel is just a short stroll away, while Mackay's City Centre, sporting precinct, Paget and quality schools are all only minutes away - giving you a genuine beachfront lifestyle without giving up the convenience of living close to the heart of the city.

With only three completed beachfront homes occupying this unique East Mackay position, opportunities like this are exceptionally difficult to replicate. 27/8 Petrie Street isn't simply a home close to the beach. It's a chance to live right beside it. Property Attributes
