A rare opportunity to purchase two properties in one sale will be an option when 61A and 61B Kewarra St, Kewarra Beach are auctioned on September 20.
FLEXIBLE beachside living in one of Cairns’s most expensive and exclusive streets has been made possible and affordable with this rare, two-for-one property sale.
Known by locals as “millionaire’s row”, Kewarra St at Kewarra Beach is home to properties generally worth over the $1m mark, however sitting just 50m from the beach is 61A and 61B Kewarra St.
The subdivided block was once a large single property on a block about 1700sq m with a 1979-built two-bedroom home.
While the 41-year-old house remains on the property now listed as 61B covering 1058sq m, a new five-bedroom house was built on a 615sq m subdivision eight years ago at 61A, the closer of the two houses to the beach.

The properties are listed with Ray White Cairns Beaches “property duo” Simon Batt and Matthew Pearce and will be auctioned on September 20.
“We’re going to do it in three auctions – the first auction will be both properties for sale,” Mr Batt said.
“If it’s purchased, then auction over. If it’s passed in then we’ll do an auction selling 61A and then a third auction selling 61B, so you can purchase both or either.”
He said offers to purchase the properties separately or together prior to the auction were also being accepted.
Although the two houses share a block of land and are home to tenants with young families, Mr Batt said they were nothing alike.

“The older house at 61B has still got its original 1979 kitchen. It’s probably the worst house on the best street. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, one car space but it does have a pool and huge amounts of yard space.
“It would be ideal for a renovator or even a developer who might want to knock it all down, build something for themselves on the larger block and perhaps rent out 61A.
“There are families living in the houses already so it does appeal to a lot of people, including multi-generational living, you’d be together but still on two properties.”
He said the newer home at 61A was ready to move in to.

“It’s a very spacious five bedroom, two bathroom and a double-lock up garage with multiple alfresco entertaining areas. A 50m walk and you’re on the sand, you’re on the beach at one of the best beaches in Cairns.”
The eight-year-old home includes an open-plan living and dining area as well as an additional family area, which can be used as a media room. A modern “stunning and state-of-the-art” kitchen is central to the home, featuring a large island bench.
The bathrooms feature floating cabinetry providing an extra feeling of space.
With sea breezes a constant visitor, the house has been painted in neutral colours to enhance the natural light. It is tiled throughout and is fully airconditioned.
Mr Batt said although the properties were located in one of the most expensive areas, they would be considerably affordable compared to their neighbours.
