Tucked away amongst a canopy of trees in Cornubia, sits 83 and 85 Anakie Drive.
The two connecting properties, owned by Alan Danson and his wife, can best be described as “yin and yang” – they work best together.
Mr Danson built the homes in 1995 and lived there with his family until 2011, before renting them out because his wife wanted “a change of scenery”.
“We lived in one and partied in the other,” Mr Danson said.
Now, he’s decided to sell.
Initially he tried selling the properties as one, but after a couple of underwhelming months, decided to list them separately.
Mr Danson said the properties were perfect for “mates or siblings hoping to live close to each other”.
“It’s perfect for a nature lover too, someone who likes trees and gardening.”
He said the properties balanced each other: one has a bigger house and a spa, while the other has a smaller house, but a pool, sauna, man-made waterfalls and a cave.
83 Anakie Drive is a three-bedroom tri-level home on a 953sqm elevated block.
The middle floor features an oversized living and dining space, an adjoining open-plan kitchen, as well as two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry.
On one side of the house is a large entertaining deck, and on the other is a covered deck.
The upper level hosts the master bedroom with an ensuite, walk-in-robe and deck with elevated views.
On the lower level is a double carport, a workshop space and a spa.
Next door at 85 Anakie Drive is the smaller, double-storey home.
The first floor consists of the living, dining and kitchen areas, the master bedroom, bathroom and wrap-around deck.
The lower floor is a second living area, laundry, and second bedroom with a walk-in-robe and powder room.
Number 85 also has a large entertaining deck, but this one opens out to a swimming pool and several man-made waterfalls and streams.
Depending on who purchases the properties, and whether they sell as a duo or individually, Mr Denson will be installing a dividing fence.
He said he had been renting them out for “the better part of 12 years”, but it was time to hand them over to someone who loved the homes as he did.
His agents, Jackson Paradise and Tyler Wright, have the properties listed at $630,000 each.
