When architect Tim Ditchfield designed this majestic residence sitting high on the sand dunes above Duke Street, he created a flowing space that took advantage of not just it’s highly fancied NE aspect, but its tree top views across to the Pacific Ocean.

Sitting on an impressive parcel of land, approximately 50% larger than traditional Sunshine Beach blocks, this architectural masterpiece, offers the perfect balance of contemporary design and beach luxe. At approx. 670sqm, the residence was built using a pallet of contemporary building materials, yet softened with beautiful timber accents and architectural lines drawn from Californian architecture of the 50s and 60s.

With a focus on bringing the outdoors in, the heart of the home is both an impressive indoor space and idyllic outdoor escape. The substantial Corian breakfast bar is both minimalistic and warm whilst matches perfectly with the Italian stone bench tops under which Italian appliances fit without fanfare.

Flowing outdoor behind 3meter high sliding doors that hide as well as hang off the side of the home, the outdoor kitchen is home to a commercial teppanyaki grill, top of the line Electrolux BBQ and gas burner as well as an industrial double glass door bar fridge. The timber deck has aged beautifully to further soften this delightful space, yet is complimented by almost invisible frameless glass. The pool is both a key feature at night as well as a great day time tree top experience as you look over Sunshine Beach and onto The Pacific.

With flexibility a key factor in the design, the home will meet the needs of those looking for either a 3, 4 or 5 bedroom home. The top level of the property is breathtaking, with open plan kitchen, butlers pantry and living area as well as both outdoor and indoor dining options. This level also features a study nook with 3 separate workspaces and a powder room. The lower level features the bedrooms as well as a huge rumpus room, substantial home-office, laundry, I.T room and an under-pool wine cellar and storage area. The entrance with its 3 meter high bright green pivot door and indoor outdoor fish pond, also has an oversized double garage as well as separate pool room/gym/man land.

Whilst every room in the house is air-conditioned as well as heated, the current owner has never used the air conditioner in the main living area (due the beautiful summer sea breezes) and typically enjoys the open fire when the breezes turn westerly in the winter months.

Elanda Street is a quiet street with impressive homes and is ideally situated just a short stroll from the shops, restaurants and bars of the Sunshine Beach Village, as well as the hugely popular Surf Club and patrolled beach. With the magnificent Noosa National Park and its multitude of walks as well as coves and beaches close by and Noosa Junction and Noosa Heads just over the hill, the location is simply perfect.

If you are looking for the ultimate family home that oozes style as well as practicality or a luxe low maintenance beach house then 7 Elanda Street is the perfect solution.
