Scarborough, 102 Duke Street – Mid to high $800,000s

Add to that the modern design of this street-front, double-storey dwelling, ocean views and a whopping five bedrooms and this is one hard-to-find package that will delight savvy buyers.

Past the secure electric gate and easy-care front gardens, the designer entry opens up to reveal sleek, coastal-inspired styling throughout.

The floor plan begins with the open-plan meals area with ceiling fan, downlights, a feature bulkhead and warming timber floors.

Here, the tiled kitchen features stainless steel cooking appliances, stone benchtops, a breakfast bar and ample storage to suit any home cook.

Stepping further inside, a hallway soon opens up to reveal the rear, airconditioned TV room, where double french doors throw open to integrate the space with the patio outside – a great spot for alfresco dining and barbecues.

For families with pets or younger children, there is another lawn area with a shade sail down the side of the house. Also on this level are three bedrooms.

On the first floor, there are two more bedrooms as well as a lovely light-filled lounge room with cathedral ceilings, which offers plenty of room for the whole family.

It extends through sliding doors on to a decked balcony that benefits from glimpses of the sea.

Additional features include airconditioning and built-in robes to the bedrooms.
