From the moment you step through the front door, it is evident this Buderim duplex was designed by a master of his trade. With 27 years in the industry and an extensive list of awards, Peter Collyns of Majestic Developments is excited to have completed what will be this years entrant after winning last years ‘HIA townhouse/villa development’ in 2012 for the Sunshine Coast and then Queensland.

The overwhelming feel as you enter this home is of openness and air flow. Rather than trap hot air, the high ceilings throughout have been fitted with louvers, which create a natural flow. The living area is also flanked by full length sliding windows to 2 separate aspect tiled and grassed outdoor areas, allowing breezes to flow right through the home. Top it off with a unique garden atrium right in the middle of the living area and you can see why the fully-ducted air conditioning may prove the least important feature. These innovations have led to a 6 Star energy efficiency rating which is sure to feel good when your bills arrive.

No detail has been spared in the open plan kitchen with Italian made ILVE gas stove top, electric oven, externally ducted hood and beautiful neutrally-coloured stone bench tops. LED down lights illuminate the bench well and direct access from the garage to the kitchen takes the hassle out of decanting the groceries. The laundry is also located next to the kitchen and a clever desk alcove overlooks the atrium.

This home boasts three bedrooms. Each has been designed for flexibility with category 6 wiring, phone cables and TV points, making it easy to set up office and media spaces. The main bedroom sits towards the front of the house, away from possible noises of the living area, and it serenely overlooks the garden, with external doors leading to the patio complete with an automatically retracting awning. Inside the bedroom, with ‘fly over ceiling’ hides an extensive walk-in robe and the ensuite features modern metallic tiles and even a heated towel rack. As in the rest of the house, natural light abounds.

The second bathroom is spacious with a large shower, full size bath, modern metallic tiles and separate toilet, while storage options make the most of every hallway. Add to this a two car garage with two-pac flooring, automatic doors and an alcove perfect for a workbench, and you can see why all the features of a larger home have been cleverly incorporated.

Situated in a sought-after area of Buderim, on a street corner, you wouldn’t know this was a duplex because it has its own entrance and only one common firewall. The grounds are completely enclosed, private, making it safe for a pet. Within the gates, a large parking area is suitable for a caravan or small motorhome.
