According to realestate.com.au<\/a> GLOBETROTTING couple Azra Alagic and Gary Waldon took inspiration from their honeymoon on the Greek Islands for their latest renovation, a waterfront home on the northern Gold Coast<\/a> which goes under the hammer this month.<\/p>\n

They purchased in February 2021 and transformed the four-bedroom Helensvale property into a holiday-at-home retreat while travel was off the cards during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

But wanderlust is once more calling, and the couple, both corporate consultants, is selling up and heading overseas again.<\/p>\n

The home is marketed by Amir Prestige agent, Mitchell Booth, and will be auctioned on January 24.<\/p>\n

Ms Alagic said they chose the location on a 799sq m lot at\u00a032 Calmwater Cres\u00a0<\/a>for its appealing canalfront aspect, quiet neighbourhood, proximity to amenities, and easy access to both beaches and Brisbane CBD via the M1 Motorway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe house was 20 years old when we bought it, but we thought it had good bones and we just knew we could do something quite special,\u201d Ms Alagic, 53, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur inspiration was very much from our honeymoon in Mykonos in the Greek Islands \u2014 that was the last trip we managed to squeeze in before COVID.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love travelling and experiencing the culture of the place, so with the house it was very much about re-creating that feel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both work hard and long hours and when we get home we want to be able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax into that luxe holiday vibe as soon as we walk in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latest quarterly home values data from PropTrack shows Helensvale was one of the Gold Coast\u2019s strongest markets through 2022, with house prices in the suburb up 8.8 per cent over the year. The median house price in December was $1.027m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always bought the house to sell it, and we feel the market is still at a good position, so if we get the price we\u2019re looking at we\u2019ll sell, but if not we\u2019d be perfectly ok to stay because we love it here,\u201d Ms Alagic said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interest rate is not a contributing factor for us. We are selling the house because we\u2019re planning extended travel to seek more inspo for our next project.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the market is so cyclical and I think people can overreact to inflaction and interest rates \u2014 it plays itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n
