The award-winning Egret Street Peregian Beach House, was designed around capturing the amazing ocean views stretching from Lions Head at Noosa to Point Cartwright at Mooloolaba.
All living spaces and bedrooms are oriented towards the east, to capture the water. The house has also been built to block the south eastern winds, which most beachfront houses are exposed to. Egret Street manages this through protecting part of the deck with an external wall built to the south, which ensures outdoor dining and entertaining may be enjoyed in all weather conditions.
Of course, if the breeze is calm and the conditions divine as they usually are, the uncovered deck reaching out towards the ocean is the place to enjoy a glass of wine in the afternoon, as the sun sets behind you in the west.
Inside the house there is an open plan living and dining space which is great for gathering and socialising while the chef whips up the dinner. There is also a breakfast bar with four bar stools to supervise the cooking. The home is set over 3 levels with a second lounge/bunk room on the ground floor.
The yard outside is a flat area which is great for kids to run around and play on. The pool has a sun deck and an outdoor shower to wash off the sand.
Whilst the house would make an ideal place of residence, its also a highly demanded holiday destination for holiday makers due to its design, views and walking distance to the beach. More information on holiday letting can be obtained through the agent.
