Picture turquoise waterways and white-sand beaches over Noosa Sound, Noosa River, North Shore, Laguna Bay and beyond to Double Island Point from the north-facing balcony.

What about a serene location in a prestigious part of Noosa Hill and a quiet residential enclave on a no-through road, with bushland opposite?

Sounds like this rare gem in the very chic-named Petrie Mansions, where apartments rarely come onto the market, has your name all over it.

The immediate vibe at the front entrance is one of relaxation, refinement yet it is totally devoid of pretentiousness. Natural light drenches the generous open plan living and dining spaces, plus in a seamless fashion entertaining extends in the northerly direction to the balcony. It ostensibly hovers over the surrounding lush gardens. Shrubs with coloured foliage, manicured lawns, fan palms and several tall white gums where koalas have been known to call home, add and sometimes filter those afore mentioned vistas of the waterways. Adding to the postcard views are sensational pinky-golden sunsets.

The C-shaped kitchen has everything you need including a walk-in pantry and breakfast bar.

Along the hallway the king-size master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite opens out to a north-facing balcony which can also be accessed from the living area. Further along are two queen-size bedrooms with balconies. They share the family-size bathroom. There is also a laundry and a powder room.

Understandably the palm-shrouded gardens of the boutique complex are extremely popular with residents. There is a 25m pool with spa, a very generous covered poolside entertaining terrace with kitchen and barbeque, also a sauna, shower, games room and new gym.

“No more excuses needed to escape permanently to this sub-tropical paradise,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Robyn Reid. “You can walk to Noosa Junction with its plethora of cafes, bars, boutiques and supermarkets, embrace the cosmopolitan lifestyle of Hastings Street, and enjoy the natural attributes of the Noosa National Park.”
