A stunning Byron Bay property, previously owned by Blair McDonough, has entered the real estate market. The luxurious four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence in Suffolk Park is listed with a price estimate ranging from $3.8 million to $4.18 million after significant renovations by the former actor.
Blair McDonough’s Transformative Property Journey
In 2016, Blair McDonough purchased a modest two-bedroom beach shack in Suffolk Park for $940,000 alongside his wife Kristi Townley. Since then, they have undertaken extensive renovations, adding an extension and a self-contained granny flat, according to reports from The Daily Telegraph. This transformation reflects both of their design sensibilities and a keen ability to enhance property value.
Luxury Features of the Byron Bay Home
The property, located just 6 kilometres from the vibrant heart of Byron Bay and minutes from the renowned Tallow Beach, boasts an open-plan layout with bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect to various outdoor entertaining spaces. Among its luxury features are lofty ceilings, an alfresco breakfast bar, and a master bedroom complete with an outdoor clawfoot bathtub, all designed to maximise the enchanting tropical environment.
Inviting Outdoor Amenities and Relaxation Spaces
The outdoor areas of the property are equally captivating, featuring well-designed timber decking and landscaped gardens. A dedicated BBQ area complements the property’s appeal, while the pool includes a unique propeller-generated 'swim gym', ideal for exercise enthusiasts looking to incorporate aquatic routines into their fitness regimen. The self-contained granny flat has the potential to be converted into a functional studio, adding to the property's versatility.
