Feature Summary

This is a single-level, ground-floor home set on the end of its block of four within a secure, gated Merrimac complex. With no internal stairs and only one shared wall on the attached side, it offers easy, accessible living and a level of privacy that end-of-block homes hold onto. Three built-in bedrooms, two full bathrooms, open-plan living and a genuinely usable private rear yard make it a practical, low-fuss home — while the parking arrangement is a standout in its own right.

• 2 full bathrooms — ensuite to the master, plus a main bathroom with bathtub

• Private rear yard, approx. 6 m × 13 m
• Single lock-up garage, plus a driveway space and three complex-allocated guest spaces directly out front

Design

The home is built around a practical single-level footprint that keeps daily living simple and accessible. The living area is open-plan, flowing through the central part of the home, with durable vinyl flooring laid to the high-traffic zones and tiling to the wet areas. Carpet is reserved for the three bedrooms, keeping them quiet and comfortable underfoot.

The master bedroom includes a private ensuite and split-system air conditioning, while all three bedrooms are fitted with built-in robes and ceiling fans. The main bathroom is designed for everyday family use, with a full bathtub and built-in storage cabinetry.

Finishing Touches

Throughout the home, window furnishings have been finished to a high standard — sheer and block-out curtains combined across the rooms, all presented in excellent condition. Ceiling fans run through the living and bedroom spaces, and the overall presentation is move-in ready.

The rear yard is the finishing touch most buyers of attached homes go without. At roughly 6 m × 13 m, it’s a real backyard — room for a table and chairs, a garden, pets or children to play — privately positioned at the end of the block.

Location Advantages

Merrimac sits in the central region of the Gold Coast, positioned between Nerang, Robina and the Broadbeach beachside precinct, roughly 10 km south-west of Surfers Paradise. It’s a well-serviced residential suburb with schools, parks and shopping all within a short drive, and quick access to the Pacific Motorway for travel north or south.

For this home specifically, the position is convenient without being on a main road: local schools and parks sit within one to two kilometres, everyday grocery shopping is a few minutes away at Worongary, and two of the coast’s major shopping and dining destinations — Robina Town Centre and Pacific Fair — are both reachable in around ten minutes by car.

Why You’ll Love This Home

Single-level, attached homes with a private backyard and this much parking are not easy to find. The end-of-block position means you share just one wall, with the added light and privacy that corner placement brings — and because everything is on one level, it suits buyers who simply don’t want to deal with stairs, whether that’s downsizers, families with young children, or anyone valuing accessible living.

The parking alone sets it apart: a single lock-up garage, your own driveway space, and three complex-allocated guest spaces sitting directly in front of the home. For a household with more than one car, or one that regularly has visitors, that’s a rare and genuinely useful advantage in a gated setting. Add the in-complex pool, the secure gated entry and the private rear yard, and it delivers the low-maintenance benefits of complex living without giving up the space of a standalone home.

Buyer Search Q&A

Is this home single-level?
Yes. The home is entirely single-level and ground-floor, with no internal stairs. It’s one of the single-storey homes in the complex, distinct from the two-level townhomes.

How many car spaces does it have?
It has a single lock-up garage plus a driveway space, and there are three complex-allocated guest parking spaces positioned directly in front of the home — a generous parking arrangement for an attached residence.

Does it have a private yard?
Yes. There’s a private rear yard of approximately 6 m × 13 m — a real, usable backyard, which is uncommon for homes of this type.

What schools are close by?
Star of the Sea School and St Michael’s College are both within about a kilometre, and Merrimac State School is roughly 1.6 km away. Merrimac State High School serves the wider area. Catchment zones are set by address, so buyers should confirm their specific state school catchment using the Queensland Government’s EdMap tool.

What shopping is nearby?
Everyday groceries are a few minutes away at Worongary Town Centre (Coles), with Woolworths Carrara around six minutes by car. For major retail and dining, both Robina Town Centre and Pacific Fair are around ten minutes’ drive.

Lifestyle and Convenience

Day to day, this is an easy home to live in. Groceries, schools and parks are all a short drive away, the gated complex adds security and a pool without the upkeep of your own, and the private yard gives you somewhere of your own outdoors. With the Pacific Motorway close by and two major shopping precincts within about ten minutes, you’re centrally placed to move around the Gold Coast while coming home to a quiet, low-maintenance setting.
