This adept interpretation of the classic Noosa beach house introduces some refreshing modern elements, and in doing so altogether raises the bar.

Imagine that classic light-filled beach house containing all of the desirable ingredients for an idyllic coastal escape. You probably already have a picture of it in your mind, as it somehow occupies the fringes of our cultural identity. Now, introduce superb modern interpretations, cutting edge design, and sheer practicality. This home is fusion of the very best of beach house style and contemporary flair, a residence which is ultimately an improvement on a national ideal.

The first question that comes to mind on arrival is, Why didnt I know this was here? Its an entirely central location, elevated, and tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, yet within easy walking distance to the delights of the Noosa River, Noosa Marina, Harbourside cafs, shops, Gympie Terrace restaurants, ferry stop, schools, library, hospital, yacht club, leisure centre… the list goes on.

The next question, after succumbing to the invite of the mango tree, wide fenced frontage, gravel drive, quaint wooden garage, and picturesque porch and is, Where on earth are the neighbours? Standing on the verandah moments later, viewing gardens with vegie beds, paved terrace and water feature, looking across treetops, there is limited evidence of suburbia. This easy-care allotment is genuinely private.

Stepping through timber bi-folds into the main open-plan living space, the VJ cladding on walls and soaring pitched ceiling are eloquent reminders of the inspiration point. The inherent character of reclaimed hardwood flooring draws the eye to some classic style elements which cannot be emulated.

Caesarstone benchtops in the kitchen are both opulent and understated, housing a recessed twin sink with industrial arching faucet, stainless steel oven with rotisserie and 5 hob gas cooktop, and seamless hidden Miele dishwasher integrated within gloss cabinetry. Theres also a clever walk-in pantry and adjacent laundry room.

An inviting hallway leads to three generous bedrooms, all with high ceilings and filtered ambiance. The third bedroom/office option has a built in desk nook as well as ample storage. The second bedroom accesses an opulent 2-way bathroom with the theme of relaxed coastal chic continued through the sandy hue of the tiles and the frame less shower screen. Timber french doors reveal a stunning outdoor lounge room, securely screened and impenetrable to bugs, embracing the best of Noosas indoor-outdoor living.

The master bedroom reigns supreme on the relaxation agenda with access to the screened lounge and an exquisite outlook over the garden. There is a walk-in wardrobe with superb attention to storage, and an elegant bathroom boasting twin shower heads, twin vanities, frameless shower screens, freestanding bath all superbly finished.

This is a property of a calibre and position we only see occasionally in Noosa. Elevated yet all on one level, within easy walking distance to an array of lifestyle amenities, and built with every detail thoughtfully considered. This is coastal style at its finest.
