Architecturally designed with relaxed yet stylish coastal living in mind, this stunning family home is set in elevated lush tropical surrounds with abundant natural light and soaring raked ceilings. The exposed beams blur the lines between the built and natural environment for a truly resort-style look and feel.
Leave the worries and cares of the working day behind you from the moment you enter your peaceful cul de sac in the sought-after Coral Ridge Drive, arriving at your property with its well-established tropical gardens, palm-fringed private entry and welcoming ambience.
Bathed in natural light with cooling sea breezes throughout, this unique home is a delight to live in. It has been cleverly built to suit the lay of the land on the 702m2 block, with level entry from the street via a timber landing to the main living zone, and seamless internal access to a second living area and bedroom zone downstairs. Each level has a large timber deck overlooking tropical landscaped gardens and beyond from the upper deck. Enjoy dinners and entertaining alfresco on the expansive upper deck, and a cuppa while watching the kids play from the lower deck. We?re sure they?ll both be well utilised!
Living in Coral Ridge Drive you will enjoy tranquil, private living amongst predominantly owner-occupied homes, so close to local beaches and waterways you can smell the salt in the air and feel those lovely sea breezes. With ample room for lock and leave ease for your ski or fishing boat in the oversized carport or via additional parking behind the backyard?s double gate access, you?ll be loving life whether at home or out and about on the water!
Why we LOVE 17 Coral Ridge Drive?

As soon as you enter, you will know that this architect-designed home by renowned Sanders Turner Ellick Architects (also known as Stea Architects), is something special.
