Coastal Chic – What’s Not to Love

The allure of this dream townhouse is obvious. Wake to the sounds of the surf, open the shutters, check the waves, grab the surfboard, take a 2-minute walk to the beach or change your mind and stop on the way at the vibrant Sunshine Beach village, which is already abuzz with coffee aficionados.

Framed by Pandanus and Frangipanis, clever Chris Clout has etched his inimitable pedigree and design style on the façade of the townhouse, from the initial wow moment when the timber and stainless steel security gate seems to disappear into the wall to fully reveal translucent glass balustrades, exposed timber batons and a conical-shaped roof.

The class act continues indoors. A pivoting glass-paneled timber door opens wide, brushbox staircase treads appear to be suspended from the wall of lava stone and once upstairs, it’s easy to be mesmerised by the backdrop of a casual living room, banks of bright white shutters, stacked bi-fold doors and beautiful ocean views. These are also on show from the terrace of the massive master suite with its Shoji-style robe doors running the length of the room.

Behold there are more views this time exemplary, from rooftop deck accessed by a spiral staircase.

There’s also a seamless transition from the living space to the dining area and kitchen with its long granite island bench and first class appliances.
Monochromatic touches keep the mood chic and understated

Downstairs is definitively coastal cool with a charcoal and white colour scheme, large porcelain tiles, New Guinea rosewood and a zone totally dedicated to a casual lifestyle for big kids and small with custom made bunk beds & trundle to accommodate the kids and their mates. From the adjoining garden room, stacker doors with glass panels slide away to show-off a courtyard with a pool and water feature, all surrounded by lawn and espaliered walls.

“This is a blue ribbon property,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate’s Nic Hunter. “Those who know Sunshine Beach appreciate the privileged location. Understandable given the amenable subtropical climate, also being able to enjoy anonymity at one of the world’s best beaches or at the nearby village where the local café society preserve the ‘barefoot if you like’ attitude.

“If you’re thinking about basking in the pleasures of a dream lifestyle or investment, it’s all here.”
