yourtown Prize Home Draw 469

What would you like to see when you look out the window of your new prize home? The Sydney skyline or the lush green bush of the Sunshine Coast hinterland? Do you want to live in the centre of it all, or minutes from some of the best beaches in the country? That’s the difficult decision you’ll have to make if you’re holding the winning ticket in draw 469.

yourtown always offers some of the most unique, luxurious and enticing prize homes among the charity draws, and this one is no exception. On the one hand, you can live mortgage free near the centre of Sydney and walk to restaurants and shopping on Glebe Point Road. On the other, you can relax by your pool in the serenity of Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. Both first prize packages are worth $1.6 million, so you know that making the right choice won’t be easy.

A Luxurious Sydney Lifestyle

Over four million people live in Australia’s biggest city, and you could be one of the lucky few who get to live near the centre of town mortgage and worry free. The first prize home is located in Glebe, just three kilometres south-west of Sydney’s central business district. The area is popular with residents who work in the inner-city and is also home to a great many tertiary students as it is close to three Sydney universities. Living here means being right in the middle of an active, engaged and diverse community.

Glebe has some very expensive real estate, and only 17% of those who live here own their home outright. With a ticket in draw 469, you could be one of them.

The suburb is called Glebe because it was developed on land previously owned by the Anglican Church. A “Glebe” was a piece of land provided to the clergy to help raise income for the church. The neighbourhood is now peppered with restored 19^th century houses and heritage listed buildings. You’ll be able to walk to the Broadway Shopping Centre and the Glebe alternative markets, held on Saturdays and featuring all kinds of eclectic new and used treasures.

At Wentworth Park, you can take in the greyhound racing or the frequent rugby and semi-professional soccer matches. For more festive entertainment, the Bayside Foreshore and Darling Harbour are just down the road. There you’ll find the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Sydney Aquarium, and Harbourside Shopping Centre. The area is packed with things to keep you busy, fed and completely entertained. From your new home on Mitchell Street, you’ll never be short of places to go, whether you’re walking, cycling, or climbing on board the excellent transit system that services Glebe suburb.

If you already live and work in Sydney, this option is a step-up to the good life. If you always wanted to move there but couldn’t afford the big city prices, this may well be your dream come true. If, however, you’re happy where you are, the Sydney home is a great investment. Prices are only going to climb and you won’t have any problem finding tenants who will pay a premium price to live in this modern and luxurious terrace home. That’s a second income you can spend on all the other things you’ve ever wanted to do, see or explore.

You could of course simply sell the home and live the life of an instant millionaire any way you please. When you check out all the features of this home, however, we think you just may want to stay.

At Home on the Sunshine Coast

If urban living just isn’t your thing, you’ll probably love the second option in yourtown draw 469. It’s a magnificent home in Buderim, just minutes from the world-famous beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

People come from all over the world to visit this part of Australia, and it’s not hard to see why. White sand, blue sky, and the deep greens of the hinterland are only the start. From Pelican Waters to Tewantin, we’ve got the Glasshouse Mountains, the Australia Zoo, and even a giant cow in Nambour. The area is a vibrant mix of holiday goers, international tourists, beach lovers, retirees, and all the people who work on the Sunshine Coast to keep them happy.

If you’re holding the winning ticket and choose the Buderim home, you’ll be moving to a hill-top community overlooking the southern Sunshine Coast. Just under 30,000 people enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in this broad area located less than an hour north of Brisbane. You’ll be ten minutes from the esplanade at Mooloolaba and the thick of the tourist attractions. Up and down the coast, you can sink your toes into the pristine white sand, try your hand at any number of water sports, or just sit in a beachfront café and watch the world go by.

The Buderim home is located alongside a nature reserve, so you’ll also have no shortage of places to walk and enjoy the natural beauty of the hinterland if you ever need a break from the beach. The Buderim Forest waterfall may well become one of your favourite destinations, and you’ll find it easy to get to across an accessible elevated wooden boardwalk. The Buderim Forest is but one of several protected areas in the region where you’ll find an amazing array of native bird and animal life.

As with all properties on the Sunshine Coast, finding tenants is dead easy in one of the most sought-after locations in the country. If you’re not yet ready to become a full-time resident, you can rent out the home as a secondary income source. It’s a great investment to build your retirement fund or simply as a means of paying for all those other dream projects you’ve had lined up for “one day”.

Of course, you can always sell the home if being an instant millionaire is more to your liking. The features of this beautiful home, however, may make it very difficult for you not resist moving right in. Let’s take a look.
