149 Cowell Drive, Burleigh Heads.
It’s all about the attention to detail in a modern art-deco inspired home located in the heart of a blue-chip Burleigh Heads estate.
Completed just weeks ago, the striking four-bedroom home is located at 149 Cowell Dr and offers a nod to mid-Century modern design in a property that effortlessly accommodates dual living.
The house is built into a hill.
Brothers Richard and Matthew Hudson are the developers of the contemporary home, tapping into their commercial construction expertise to deliver a residence where every element has been carefully considered.
“We wanted to build something with a high level of attention to detail,” Richard said.
“It has a mid-Century modern style and is designed to be maintenance free, with a whole lot of new build technology included in the construction.”

Offering a striking exterior facade, the home features a combination of clean lines, arches and chic detailing.
The residence is set over two levels and is stepped into the hillside, with living and entertaining areas located on the light-filled upper floor along with the master suite and two additional ensuited bedrooms.
Designed for easy entertaining, the kitchen features a butler’s pantry while the open plan living and dining areas connect with two al fresco entertaining decks.
The house has an indoor-outdoor flow.

Downstairs is a two-car garage and a large guest wing including kitchenette, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, making the property ideal for guests or dual living.
“We’ve been in real estate a while and we’re seeing a demand for homes which cater to independent living,” Richard said.
“It’s an area of the market that we believe everyone will be wanting in a few years due to the lack of housing supply and the fact everyone needs more space these days.”

A raft of other features are included in the home’s design, adding up to a property that’s not only easy to look after but easy to live in.
The terraced back yard offers room for a potential pool while the home is designed to be visually stunning yet functional and comes complete with extra storage, ducted airconditioning, commercial double-glazed windows, and a 13.2kW solar system.

Thoughtful, low-maintenance features include pre-finished aluminium battens, polished concrete render, steel wall framing, and composite decking.
Meanwhile, the property is located in the bush-fringed Arbour Estate, and is just 7.5km from the beaches, restaurants, and shopping strips of popular Burleigh Heads.
Covered by a 10-year builder’s warranty, the home offers buyers the opportunity to move into a stunning newly built Gold Coast residence, without the cost or stress of building.
Every detail was carefully considered.

“I really think it suits a range of people,” Richard said.
The Burleigh residence is the brothers’ first foray into property development but is unlikely to be their last.
“We’re looking to build homes of distinction, and feel Queensland, and the Gold Coast in particular, is a great market,” Richard said. “There’s lots of love in this property and an incredible level of detail, and that’s what we’re about.
“We really take pride in delivering the types of builds that others can’t.”
The art deco stunner is listed with Hayley Kidson and Debora Sutton of Kollosche Broadbeach and is set to go to auction on March 7.
