Imagine a prestige seaside residence with a laid-back feel that’s intrinsically calming, in arguably the best street of Australia’s favourite holiday playground. And when superior vision meets attention to detail in true Hampton’s style, exceptional things do happen, as evidenced by this extraordinary new-build on Noosa Sound.

Embracing the neutral colour palette begins street-side with a striking sandstone and white timber wall. Open the dramatic black front door to reveal an elegant showpiece with oh-so-high ceilings, lime-washed Blackbutt floors, plus all the light and breezy qualities you’d expect, with architect Kevin Blair from Archidiom Design totally bridging the indoor-outdoor divide perfectly, with the help of local Tony Fitzpatrick’s JD Constructions, and at the same time setting a new standard in sophisticated waterfront living.

Off the foyer is a large family/media room with banks of shutters and sliders opening to the Frangipani-adorned front courtyard, and on the other side, to the central courtyard which is near the pool, as well as the vast main living spaces which span the width of the block on the water-side. What a feast for the senses.

Look out across the wide deep water to a natural wonderland. Pelicans dive in for the catch off the day, ditto numerous birds, rays and ducks which in the main ignore the kayakers, paddle boarders and pleasure boats. Cast a line off or anchor the tinnie on ‘your’ white-sand beach, tie up the boat at the jetty until the next time you want to head off up the Noosa River to the Everglades, or keeping in the spirit of the setting, how about Long Island Tea sundowners.

Polished concrete steppers around a pond abut the deck with its outdoor kitchen and barbeque. This is a haven for entertainers as is the kitchen with its Shaker-style custom-built cabinetry and pendant lights plus Sub-Zero integrated refrigerator also wine storage system, 8-burner gas hob and butler’s pantry.

Upstairs is encore classic with high VJ ceilings, textured wallpaper and grey granite bathroom tiles in keeping with the overall neutral palette. There are four generous bedrooms with the massive master suite, more a retreat, benefitting from a large deck with shutters for shade, if so desired.

”It really is a design masterpiece in the idyllic location of Noosa Sound” suggests Tom Offermann from Tom Offermann Real Estate. What’s not to love about the convenience of a waterfront lifestyle within an easy walk of Hastings Street and Main Beach. Whatever the reason you own or aspire to own in this exclusive street, the investment future is secure because there will be no end to people wanting to invest there in the future.”.
