An architectural pedigree courses through the walls of this exciting Noosa Heads residence. Vast living domains framed by timber glass sliders and generous outdoor entertaining areas are accompanied by the sparkling waters of a approx twenty five metre lap pool running right down the eastern boundary and connected by way of a void climbing above a central courtyard.

Completed in 2008 and positioned amongst a bevy of contemporary homes lining the cul de sac, number eighteen strikes a bold pose to the street front rising two floors above an automated door to basement parking. Slatted sliding timber panels conceal upper level bedrooms, while above the driveway, frameless glass sash windows and slim line blinds catch and filter the light of a due northern aspect.

A walled pedestrian access meets a honey toned timber door and a lily pond edges clumping bamboo. Western red cedar exterior cladding weathers naturally and travertine floors running right through the house accent the intrinsic quality of bespoke timber finishes. A roof height void encased in glass connects and distances living rooms on the mid- level, with private bedrooms enjoying a tree house feel on the upper floor. The waters of a charcoal tiled lap pool follow your line of sight down a glass walled hall.

Ceilings soar above a stainless bench top kitchen with deep double sinks hidden by a raised servery, stainless Gaggenau appliances, soft close drawers and an adjoining storage/preparation area. Light dances down the pool and the continuity of materials continues to an outdoor barbecue station with bench seating against a backdrop of coastal forest. A wide staircase lifts to a bulkhead landing with two bedrooms, bathroom and computer hub in one wing and a large ensuited main bedroom with walk in robes and strategically placed bi-fold windows engaging living areas from above.

The warmth and patina of timber washes right across the home and long window seats provide the perfect place for reclining and entertaining. Quite an amazing residence when you consider the relatively small building envelope and great privacy attained by thoughtful design. Two large store rooms in the basement garage hold wine at a good temperature and if surf is part of your daily regime, it is only five minutes to Noosa Main Beach.
