Iconic Pink “Barbie Dreamhouse” Set to Break Records at Shelly Beach
A bold and distinctive property at No.2 Wellington Parade, Shelly Beach, is making waves in the Sunshine Coast property market, attracting international interest for its striking design and prime location. Known locally as the “Barbie Dreamhouse”, the vibrant pink residence is set to sell for millions.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home boasts six car spaces and sits on a generous 1123sqm block, just 150m from the beach. Its standout feature? An unmistakable pink exterior that has been a conversation starter for years.
A Property Unlike Any Other
Belle Property agent Jason Jaegar, who has long admired the house, describes it as “awesome” and “fun.” However, he acknowledges the unique color scheme isn’t for everyone.
“It’s 50-50: some people don’t like the pink, and some people love the pink,” Mr. Jaegar said.
“The house is attracting the kind of people it would suit: bubbly, happy, and flamboyant.”
Interest in the property has been widespread, with potential buyers reaching out from Germany, England, and across Australia.
Revamped for Vibrant Living
The current owners purchased the home 18 years ago and gave it a colorful revamp eight years ago with the help of builder Paul Currie. Inspired by their love for the color pink and their global travels, they created a home that blends family warmth with resort-style luxury.
Inside, the house features:
- A large living area with an indoor fireplace.
- A modern kitchen and butler’s pantry.
- Bathrooms adorned with Italian tiles.
Outdoor highlights include:
- A poolside entertainment area complete with a bar and kitchenette.
- A rooftop deck with ocean views.
- Surfboard storage, a security system, and solar panels.
“It’s like a resort,” Mr. Jaegar said. “The house is built for relaxation.”
The Ultimate Beachside Lifestyle
Located in the tightly held suburb of Shelly Beach, this property offers more than just aesthetics. The neighborhood is renowned for its exclusivity, with proximity to Moffat Beach and Dicky Beach further boosting its appeal.
Mr. Jaegar estimates the property will sell in the high $3 million to low $4 million range, reflecting the demand for homes in this prestigious area.
A Bright Future for the Owners and Buyers
As the current owners prepare to move to nearby Dicky Beach, they leave behind a home filled with cherished memories and potential for the next family to create their own.
This sale underscores the Sunshine Coast’s growing appeal among high-end buyers, making it a key player in Australia’s luxury property market.
