The value of a well-designed house is in the on-going benefits thanks in general to the positioning on the property and the aspect.

That is in addition to the overall design and liveability of the home.

Aspect in particular results in the best outlook possible, and savings every day in regard to on-going costs such as power for heating or cooling.

Such is the case at the five-bedroom house with pool at 120 Persimmon Dve, Peregian Beach.

Tracy Russell at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to auction at 1pm on Friday, 27 September.

“It’s amazing,’’ Tracy said, “… a beautiful architect-designed home.

“It’s such an interesting and different home. Great attention has been paid to detail, and the tones are subtle.

“The finishes have been carefully selected by the owner – an interior designer – and it was completed July 2023.

“There is a fabulous northern aspect, which brings in so much natural light. If you are chasing the winter sun there is not much better.

“It’s ready to move in and unpack the bags.’’

The initial response has been mainly locals looking to upgrade into something already done.

The high-set, modern house has been custom designed for beachside living, with northerly outlook over the national park and ocean glimpses.

In addition, it is centred around indoor-outdoor spaces designed for all seasons.

Disappearing doors on the east side reveal an expansive alfresco deck and shimmering blue pool.

On the northern side, attracting summer breezes is a clever curved undercover terrace with plenty of custom seating.

The focal point, apart from the exquisitely landscaped grassy knoll with several pandanus, is a wood-burning Jetmaster fireplace that also serves as a pizza oven or barbecue.

Materials selected include weather boards, long wide architectural casement shutters and glass louvres.

Beyond the hallway are lofty ceiling heights and an extensive use of glass either side of the living and dining spaces. Natural light is maximised, with the polished concrete and oak flooring blending easily.

The kitchen comes with stone-topped cabinetry and feature Japanese tiles, an island with over-sized sink, high-end appliances such as an integrated Liebherr fridge, a true butler’s pantry with built-in freezer and plenty of well-designed storage.

Upstairs, the premier bedroom retreat has a private, undercover deck with northerly views. There’s two walk-in robes and an ensuite with terrazzo, two-basin-topped cabinetry, a free-standing bathtub and walk-in shower.

Two additional bedrooms on this level have built-in robes, also a bathroom with separate toilet. On the ground level there is another spacious bedroom; a separate living space that is set up as a media room; there’s a powder bathroom and an additional separate toilet servicing the pool area.

RIVERFRONT BEAUTY

It’s the busiest campaign at the moment for Rebekah Offermann and Michael McComas of Tom Offermann Real Estate.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car apartment 1/161-163 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, goes to auction Friday, 27 September, at 10am.

It has had 15 groups through the first and second open for inspections, which follows the success the agents have had previously with Gympie Tce homes.

Interest this time has been a mixture of investors/holiday property buyers and those looking for a residence, Rebekah said.

“One of the most appealing things about Sonoma is that the view from Villa One is completely unobstructed.

“There are no parking bays on the other side of Gympie Tce, with a yellow line right on the street right in front – no bus stops, no boat hire businesses, no cafes.

“It is a very special window view straight through to the river.’’

As well as being front-row riverside, it’s a home that is at once significant and luxurious.

Banks of plantation shutters and almost disappearing doors open off the oversized living and dining spaces, spilling out to the undercover terrace.

This is north-facing backdrop like no other – a fragrant garden, lustrous pool with sun terrace, and water feature in the river-stone wall.

The kitchen, with servery to terrace and a garden view, features high-end appliances such as an Ilve six-burner gas cooktop, and storage solutions aplenty. There’s a powder room and laundry nearby.

Upstairs are three carpeted bedrooms. The premier retreat has a terrace while the ensuite features a double walk-in shower, stone-topped cabinetry and in addition to a dressing room, there’s a study.

Two large bedrooms have built-in robes, and the bathroom has a bathtub.
