yourtown Draw 486

If you were given the choice, would you want to live in a beautifully remodelled Sydney terrace home or an apartment on the beach in Bilinga? What if the Gold Coast option came with $350,000 in gold bullion? Would that affect your decision?

One lucky winner is going to have to make a tough call in May because the latest yourtown draw is all about vibrant urban living versus a laid-back beachfront lifestyle. Both homes have three bedrooms, luxurious design packages and all the best in contemporary fixtures and appliances. One is in Sydney’s Newtown neighbourhood and the other is right on the beach in Bilinga at the south end of the Gold Coast. Better start thinking about it because if you’ve got tickets in draw 486, that difficult decision could soon be yours to make.

A Heritage Property in Newtown

The home in Newtown has been on Brown Street since the turn of the 20^th century, but a complete makeover in 2018 has transformed the property into a luxurious showpiece. A loft has been added, containing a cozy master bedroom with a stylish ensuite. A skylight floods the downstairs living area with natural light and the lounge, dining room and kitchen are now fully integrated. The exterior still exudes charm while the inside is all about comfort, convenience and trendy urban living.

You’ll also have lots of outdoor living space with a wide front veranda, pocket garden and private courtyard in the back. If you need parking, a roller-door opens to allow vehicle access beyond the alfresco. The best of the city’s restaurants, theatres and attractions unfold just a few blocks away on King Street.

You won’t have any shortage of places to sit outside if you’re not strolling along the beach.
