Instantly recognisable and widely admired, the property at 123 Tramican Street created a buzz when it last hit the market and now it presents an exciting opportunity once again.
The East Brisbane family have owned the modern one bedroom 'container house' for more than four years, using it as a base for summers spent surfing, beach life and 4WDing the island's inland tracks.
"We have been going to Straddie for years," owner Arna Harris said. "I had been looking for a holiday home after COVID and when this came up, I took the day off work, travelled to the island and bought it on the spot."
Created by PODCON, the home showcases a clever and contemporary approach to coastal living. Currently configured as one bedroom and one bathroom, the design places a strong emphasis on seamless indoor-outdoor flow, well suited to the relaxed lifestyle south east Queensland is known for.
Expansive openings invite natural light and coastal breezes, while the connection to outdoor entertaining spaces creates an effortless extension of the living area. The home has been finished to an exceptional standard, with high-quality materials and thoughtful detailing throughout.
Set on a low-maintenance 350sqm parcel, the property has been designed with practicality in mind. A generous portion of the block is flat and usable, ideal for securely storing a boat, jet ski, or all the essentials for making the most of the nearby beaches.
Adding significant value and flexibility, the property is being sold with Redlands Council-approved plans to expand into a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home complete with dual living areas. The DA provides a clear pathway to significantly enhance both its size and future value, though buyers should note approval expires April 1, 2027.
"It's been a wonderful base for our family and friends," Ms Harris said. "We just found something across the road. We are too time poor to do the build and it’s time to pass it on."
Ray White North Stradbroke Island principal Chris Ransley is handling the sale. The property is scheduled to go to auction on June 6.
