Spring Creek frontage helps Torquay sellers seal quick deal

The builder’s own home at 34 Spring Valley Drive, Torquay, lasted just a few weeks on the market.

Fighting crowds for a beach car park will be a distant memory for buyers in Torquay who’ve unlocked the ability to kayak and walk to the surf from their new back gate.

Having all their ducks in the row gave the purchasers of 34 Spring Valley Drive the edge when wrapping up the quick sale of the multi-level, four-bedroom home on the banks of Spring Creek.

Natural Real Estate listing agent Shaun O’Callaghan said the secluded 898sq m sanctuary sold for an undisclosed sum “well within” the $2.39m to $2.5m asking range.

Treetop views never get old in the main living room.

The property backs onto Spring Creek, with a jetty and football oval just opposite.

A 14m lap pool, garden terraces and elevated decks nestled among the tree canopy are highlights of the tiered property.

“We probably had eight standout inquiries. There was the main buyer, who was successful and a couple of other parties who were just not quite as advanced,” Mr O’Callaghan said.

“In the current market there can be some people can be tied up with other real estate that they’re needing to release.”

The vendors, builder turned structural engineer Andrew Cherubin and his wife Linda, designed the house to take advantage of its beautiful natural surrounds and northern orientation.

Chinese doors believed to be more than 100 years old were the starting point for the solar passive design showcasing large expanses of glass, multiple living zones and a self-contained guest suite.

The private gardens include lawn, natives and a vegetable garden.

There’s not a neighbour is sight from the elevated living room.

The vendors poured the rustic concrete bench themselves.

The couple poured concrete panels lining a central hallway themselves to create a striking thermal wall that’s lit up at night and designed the garden around an original gum tree from the former farm on the site.

Mr O’Callaghan said the property struck a great balance between privacy and being close to the action.

Mrs Cherubin said it only took about eight minutes to walk to Torquay beach along Spring Creek.

“The location was what captured my imagination straight up because it backs onto Spring Creek, which has a beautiful walkway and in all the years we have been here it has completely lived up to expectations for liveability,” she said.
