Amongst a bevy of classy homes with manicured nature strips and front gardens with decorative pandanus and frangipanis, is an elevated coastal masterpiece, the result of a clever collaboration between architect Sarah Waller and builder Duncan Squires.
The façade is strikingly impressive and it doesn’t stop at the custom-made wide glass and aluminium pivot front door. Open it, stand in the foyer and look ahead. This really is one of those wow moments. It illustrates how indoors can flirt with the outdoors in an audacious way, co-exist with the spirit, depth and richness of extraordinarily large spaces and overall meet the demands of a contemporary lifestyle.
It really is the ultimate in chic living and north-facing al fresco entertaining, or if you prefer, a place of beauty, calmness, privacy and serenity. The large blue quartzon rendered freshwater pool has timber decking surrounds, water spouts on the side sandstone wall, and easy steps on two sides for sitting and chatting. The remainder of the alfresco area is devoted to a small maintenance-free garden, patio and wood-fired pizza oven plus a wide undercover entertaining space.
There are floor-to-high ceiling windows and louvres, all with aluminium frames, and glass stacker doors slide and seem to disappear making a seamless connection to the indoor dining and living spaces. A bright, well-lit kitchen with windows opening to green spaces, Miele appliances, and a long stone benchtop cum breakfast bar, are the full complement.
A master suite abuts the pool, there’s wine storage under the stairs, also a powder room, and the office also has a separate access.
Upstairs is about creating all-important sanctuaries – places where you can escape even for a Zen moment. The over-generous main master suite with its balcony, views to Noosa Heads, walk-in robe, freestanding bath and double vanities, looks ready for a Vogue magazine shoot. There’s another master-style suite, the family/media room shares a balcony with the master suite and a family-style bathroom with another large bedroom. Flooring upstairs is spotted gum.
“This slice of paradise in the subtropics has been crafted to meticulous standards and is a sophisticated choice,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Julie Bengtsson who’s taking the property to auction on 7 April at 12 noon. “The smart floor plan offers outstanding family practicality or numerous options for entertaining aficionados. It’s in a very highly sought-after part of Noosaville, and within walking distance to Gympie Terrace and the Noosa River.”
