The quality of the properties in Noosa continues to amaze.
A look back through the years reminds of the way the homes in Noosa have improved in design, construction and value.
Stand in the main street of any one of our communities along the coastline or in the hinterland and appreciate what is around … and all in one of the most agreeable climates and environments.
The variety of properties available at the moment show it is always a good time to be a part of the Noosa lifestyle.
LAKE-SIDE STYLE ON SHOW
There is nothing quite like it in Noosa Springs – a showpiece in a location that will surprise.
A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car residence with pool at 752/61 Noosa Springs Dve, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, 23 August, at 1pm.
Erica Newton of Tom Offermann Real Estate launched the totally renovated property with a twilight Friday open house that attracted some genuine quality buyers.
That has been followed up with equally impressive inspections of a Saturday and midweek.
With strong Mediterranean inspiration and flourishes of sculptured modernist flair, Kristy Giumelli of Gmelli Design has redefined this residence, set in an elevated position on the edge of Lake Weyba.
“It sets a new standard for quality,’’ Erica said. “The designer doesn’t cut corners … she has an eye for things and executes perfectly.
“You could be anywhere in the world – private, peaceful, designed to perfection.
“It would suit a number of different requirements … families, golfers, professional people.
“From this secure golf course environment you are within minutes of beaches, restaurants and shopping.’’
A gated entry reveals a courtyard and water feature reminiscent of the Greek islands.
Once inside, the position of the multi-level home reveals a totally different outlook to what is expected … more than a peek-a-boo view through trees of the lake yet in complete privacy.
With multiple living spaces, there is extensive tactile milky-white micro-cement, similarly natural textured raw elements, reclaimed timber beams and media room hidden behind 100-year-old wooden doors.
The well-designed custom kitchen is framed by custom louvred doors and natural textures including Tasmanian oak cabinetry, pendant-adorned island breakfast plus separate coffee bar.
The splashback features handcrafted mosaic tiles and the latest appliances such as an Ilve oven and six-hob gas cooktop.
Multiple living spaces on the ground floor include a dedicated dining room. There’s a two-way eco fireplace and striking pendants in hand-woven fibres of coconut shell, palms and leaves.
Wherever you look there are wonderful furniture choices.
Outdoors is a barbecue and bar fridge, with the the terrace providing those views across the swimming pool to the lake, with Mt Coolum in the distance.
Upstairs are two premier bedroom suites with terrace access and lake views. Both have stylish walk-in robes and spa-inspired ensuites with limestone/pebble flooring, stone and rough marble-topped cabinetry – the larger ensuite having a bath tub.
Downstairs are two bedrooms with custom desks and robes. The central ensuite has a bathtub and features that are similar to upstairs. The bonus is a sauna with adjacent powder-style room.
PENTHOUSE BY THE SEA
Steven Field of Richardson and Wrench Noosa has been out and about with a hinterland property sold and another at Tewantin under offer.
On Friday, 22 August, at 11am he is taking a two-bedroom penthouse apartment at Sunshine Beach to auction.
Apartment 9 Vista Pacific at 14 Bryan St comes with study, two bathrooms and two-car basement parking, along with unobstructed ocean, beach, and headland views.
“The open homes have been really busy, Steven said, “with a mix of interstate and local interests.
“They like the separate home office and the fact it is near the beach, the village and surf club.
“You can see the flags on the beach, the sand as well as the white water and north to Lions Head.
“It is appealing to downsizers, those looking for a holiday home or for short-term stays.
“The lift access from the secure basement car-parking to the door is also a benefit.’’
There are nine apartments on each of the three levels of Vista Pacific.
The main bedroom suite comes complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the blue of the ocean and sky.
Steven’s recent sales include a three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-car house at 1 Gem St, Cooroy – a post-war Queenslander that attracted multiple offers and sold to a local buyer at $775,000.
Under offer with Richardson & Wrench colleague Frank Milat, is 5 Lake St, Tewantin, a free-standing original riverside house opposite Noosa Marina on 706sq m with medium-density zoning.
OCEAN-FRONT LIVING
In a rare offering, Adam Watts and Michelle van der Splinter of Watts Property Group are taking a house-sized oceanfront penthouse at Sunshine Beach to auction on Saturday, 23 August,
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, four-car duplex with in-ground pool at 2/31 The Esplanade goes to the market at 10am.
At 344sq m, the apartment comes with private lift access and secure four-car parking.
All on one level, the penthouse offers full ocean views and interiors filled with natural light, accentuating the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
A designer kitchen comes with ocean views while the grounds include in-ground pool, manicured gardens, and covered alfresco areas.
“This is one of the best properties of its kind in Sunshine at the moment,’’ Adam said. “Stand on the verandah and across the road you can see the waves breaking onto the sand.
“On the top floor … the views cannot be built out. There is access from Stevens St as well as The Esplanade.’’
The first open houses have attracted serious interest – those looking to downsize and improve position, notably from large residences in the immediate area as well as other parts of Noosa.
Featured are three spacious bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms. The primary suite comes complete with ocean views, a walk-in robe, spa bath, and dual vanity basins.
Two additional queen-sized bedrooms open onto private outdoor areas, surrounded by lush greenery.
Beach access 29 has you on the sand in minutes while the village and surf club are a five-minute stroll.
RELAXED … AND LOVING IT
An auction program for a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house at 6 Maher Tce, Sunshine Beach, is off to a good start with strong interest in the first week.
Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to the market at 11am on Saturday, 23 August.
“Properties are very tightly held in that area and bracket,’’ Rebekah said, “so we already have some good interest.’’
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac among leafy natural surrounds, mature grass trees, dieffenbachias, palms and pandanus, a statement entry timber door opens to a high-ceilinged beach house designed to maximise the sea views. In doing so it captures cool salty breezes and blurs the line between indoors and outdoors.
Multiple tiled living spaces run the length of the residence and feature banks of louvres, panes and walls of disappearing doors at either end.
There are approved architect-designed plans for a rooftop terrace to take the outlook to the next level.
The galley-style kitchen black granite-topped cabinetry including island breakfast bar takes advantage of the sea view.
Upstairs, the premier bedroom suite has a sizeable walk-in robe, ensuite with charcoal wall tiles, and black granite-topped cabinetry. It also has access to the main terrace.
Another bedroom has a robe while a bathroom is nearby.
Downstairs is a wet bar central to the living spaces with its funky custom wall of mirror-backed glass cabinetry.
Thanks to disappearing doors, living spaces open into the great outdoors to a tiled terrace, lawn, tropical greenery, timber deck and a wood-fired pizza oven.
There are two bedrooms with robes plus bathroom. Meanwhile there’s a serious office with custom timber-topped desk and garden view, plus internal double doors as well as sliders to the terrace.
