Its boxy layout and bold brick-and-red tile exterior are worlds apart from today’s sleek coastal mansions but this 1980s prize home stands as a time capsule of aspirational Gold Coast real estate marking its first change of hands in 36 years the winning Ipswich couple turned their prize into a lucrative long-term investment earning a steady income for over three decades while continuing their modest suburban lives It’s estimated the property may have generated a total of close to $1m in rental income Considered the height of luxury in its heyday the double-storey traditional Colonial-style home remained in mostly original condition but for an updated bathroom said it was a bittersweet sale for the family with one of the owners now deceased and his wife in aged care “They were Ipswich locals who won the home as a prize It has always been rented and the owners just continued their lives as normal with their usual family and work commitments but they picked up the bonus of a quite substantial windfall,” Mr Athanates said they would have made hundreds of thousands of dollars and even when they could have taken up residence there after they retired Large corner block provides plenty of potential The three-bedroom home on a well-maintained 4,109 sqm block was described as offering plenty of potential for capital improvement “This is a unique opportunity to own a large family home that you can both renovate and potentially add another residence to something that’s rarely available at this price point and in such a desirable location,” the sales listing said “You’ll enjoy the flexibility of creating a second dwelling while maintaining plenty of space Mr Athanates said the Bertana Dr property had been “promoted as an idyllic family home on an acre block and fitted out with an inground swimming pool that added a level of luxury which many people aspired to at that time” The cozy family room with an open fireplace Loo-dicrous way to add value to your home Where you can invest for under $500,000 Why this turn-key home is creating a buzz The home’s features comprised three large bedrooms including a master with walk-in robe and ensuite cozy family room complete with open fireplace A sturdy brick façade with red tiled gabled roof and rows of picture windows created retro appeal while a neat pathway leading to wraparound veranda added to its charm though the sellers ultimately achieved more than the advertised price guide of $1.2m to $1.3m It was a symbol of an era where prize homes shaped Aussies’ fascination with real estate and the obsession with owning a dream home Some Brisbane families spent their weekends visiting the latest prize homes while those in the market to build or buy a property of their own sought inspiration from their avant-garde design The Gold and Sunshine Coasts became key locations for the popular raffles where home values skyrocketed over the years with hyper development along the coastal strip The rising hinterland market of Mudgeeraba close to shopping mecca Robina Town Centre and about 20 minutes from the beach recorded house price growth of 17.5 per cent over the past year Prize homes of the past focused on family functionality A priceless tiara has been returned after an opportunistic robber stole it from a three-year-old girl's gravesite Lorraine and David Conway, who live on the Gold Coast lost their daughter Brittney three weeks after she ingested a button battery in July 2020 Brittney was buried beneath a black marble gravestone at a Mudgeeraba cemetery to which her parents had embedded a locked glass box to house her special tiara It suddenly vanished in June and since then Mr and Mrs Conway have publicly pleaded for the 'dirty low life' thief who took it to give it back immediately 'I was so angry to think someone had taken something so precious, taken it out of somewhere so sacred,' Mrs Conway told 7News on July 1. 'If you’re watching this and you’ve taken it, I don’t hate you — just take it back to her.' On Monday Mrs Conway said she went back to the cemetery to find that the irreplaceable headpiece had been returned to her daughter's lock box. Mrs Conway thanked everyone who helped spread the word, which ultimately led to the tiara's return.  'We found it last night... So so happy,' she wrote on Facebook.  Ms Conway said the tiara was embedded into her daughter's grave as a reminder of how much she loved her little girl. 'We just wanted her to know she was our little princess,' Ms Conway said. Locals rallied behind the distraught family, with some offering to donate money for a new tiara and another pledging $1,000 for anyone who could find the original. The couple first noticed the missing tiara in the last week of June. 'What dirty low life dogs to steal my daughter's tiara from her lock box on her grave,' Ms Conway fumed online at the time.
