It’s arguably among the best of the best … a brand-new duplex apartment in a precinct that typifies the appeal of Noosa Heads.
Lauren Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the three-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse-style apartment 2/6 Angler St, Noosa Heads, to auction at 1pm Saturday, March 4.
The apartment occupies the entire top floor and gives glimpses of Laguna Bay and the Noosa River from its elevated position above Hastings Street.
It is this position, with treed outlook, that has made it easy for so many to fall in love with Noosa.
Sandy paths through the treed gullies leading down to either Little Cove or Main Beach. Otherwise make your way through the national park around to Sunshine Beach.
No need to hurry. Just leave the beach towels on the rail of the verandah.
Into this location award-winning Blackburne Jackson Architects have designed a duplex that mixes sophistication with the spirit of indoor-outdoor spaces for all seasons.
The northerly aspect encapsulates Lake Weyba, Noosa Sound, North Shore and Noosa National Park.
“The outdoor terrace is huge,’’ Lauren said. “Everything seems so spacious.
“There is private lift access, and the whole apartment is tech-savvy to make life easy.
“It is keyless, making it easy for going to beach.’’
The lofty ceiling heights and the extensive use of glass in floor-to-ceiling disappearing doors maximises natural light.
The honey-hued French oak floors meld effortlessly with the contemporary open-plan living space, and custom cabinetry including a gas fireplace.
Over the dining table hangs a chandelier-style pendant by the world-renowned David Trubridge.
The expansive undercover terraces wrap two sides.
The integrated outdoor kitchen has stone-topped waterproof cabinetry, sink, drinks fridge and the latest barbecue grill.
The kitchen is filled with function and flair while featuring white natural stone on the bench tops and island/breakfast bar.
There are three carpeted bedrooms with wispy white sheers. The main suite has a terrace wrapping the north and easterly sides, a walk-in wardrobe and large ensuite with a bath tub and imported Italian Silkstone tiles.
Two queen-size bedrooms have built-in robes, one has access to the easterly terrace with treed views plus there is a share bathroom.
GATEWAY TO ADVENTURE
The window is opening again on the time to buy, according to Lauren Chen.
Locals have been active in the market since Christmas, as have Brisbane buyers and some from interstate.
The stylish, three-year-old, single-level house at 73 Butler St, Tewantin, has sold following auction in late November.
Offering three bedrooms, three bathrooms and two-car parking, has gone to a young family from the Gold Coast hinterland.
Last listed at $1.295m, the property was among a short-list they had composed and this suited.
“They are avid visitors to Double Island and enjoy the national park,’’ Lauren said.
“The 800sq m block allows room for a pool or a shed.’’
TOUCH OF PARADISE
Guests love this place … it’s like a home away from home and in such a handy location.
The Noosa River foreshore is just steps away, and the boutique complex of 12 apartments is positioned between Hastings St and Gympie Terrace.
It’s a fully-renovated penthouse apartment in Noosa Riviera and Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking it to auction at 10am Saturday, March 4.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 12/144 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, is north facing with a rooftop terrace offering 360-degree views.
Noosa Riviera is somewhat of an island in itself – just short side streets leading to the waterways and jetty, lush parks, palm trees, and the resort’s lagoon-style pool that is heated in winter.
The apartment features high-ceilings, multiple open-plan living and dining spaces inside and out, timber flooring, and natural light from the expansive terrace, which wraps around two sides.
One lounge and dining space reflects the Mediterranean with colourful sumptuous sofas, artworks, big cane chairs around a glass-topped table and access to the west terrace.
On the north side, glass sliders open and the indoors almost seamlessly combines with outdoors, and the wide undercover stone-paved terrace.
The kitchen with servery opens to the terrace. There’s smoky-grey, stone-topped, VJ-profile, Hamptons-inspired cabinetry including a semi-island/breakfast bar, white subway-tiled splashback, a floor-to-ceiling wall with integrated appliances and pull-out pantry.
The rooftop terrace features a pavilion with an integrated outdoor kitchen.
The main bedroom suite comes with TV, walk-in robe, ensuite with double creamy-white stone-topped cabinetry and drencher shower, plus access to the terrace.
The queen/twin bedrooms have built-in robes, share a bathroom and separate toilet, and one has a terrace on the south side.
IDEAL HOUSE ALTERNATIVE
Greg Smith and Tanya Taylor at Select Noosa have two more auctions later this month – a free-standing renovated townhouse at Noosaville and a vacant block of land at Peregian.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car townhouse with pool at 3/12 Elizabeth St, Noosaville, goes to auction at 12pm on Saturday, 25 February.
“It’s very comfortable,’’ Greg said, “… a house alternative in a handy location with a northerly aspect.
“You are one street back from Gympie Tce and the Noosa River.’’
The home is ideal for the couple wanting an easy-living lifestyle – whether it’s a lock-and-leave, downsizing, holiday home or investment.
It offers indoor/outdoor living, its own private pool, security gate, balconies off every bedroom, and ducted air-conditioning.
The three spacious bedrooms each have their own balcony, there is a study nook,
two bathrooms, and powder room downstairs.
The double garage comes with loads of storage, while the complex has security gate access.
The vacant 416sq m block at 14 Breakwater St, Peregian Beach, goes to the market at 10am on the same day.
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION
The renovation is outstanding, the complex of 12 apartments is solid and is in a central location.
A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car apartment at 1/219 Weyba Rd, Noosaville, goes to auction 1pm Saturday, 25 February, with Anita Nichols of Laguna Real Estate.
“It’s been renovated to an incredible standard,’’ Anita said.
“It has been configured as four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with downstairs being able to be rented out.
“No expense has been spared. There are high-end quality appliances, AEG ovens and dishwasher, gas cooktop, brushed gold fittings including all tapware.
“This was the on-site managers property. All other apartments are are one and two-bed.’’
Interest has been more investment-based because of the location and potential, Anita said. Both interstate and local.
Having two levels both with separate entry make it perfect for investment and holiday let.
FIRST TIME ON MARKET IN 70 YEARS
One stringybark log from the Cooroy-Eumundi area built the whole house.
The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1024sq m at 7 Low St, Eumundi, has been in the same family for more than 70 years.
Wayne Fewtrell of @realty said the father served in World War 2 and the family built the home for him when he returned.
Listed at offers over $810,000, it features hardwood frames and beautiful red-coloured timber floors – much like blue gum.
“The location is good,’’ Wayne said, “just a short walk to the aquatic centre, railway station, shops and the markets.
“There have been people at every open home – those wanting to move to Queensland and some investors from the Sunshine Coast.’’
The allotment gently slopes up from the quiet no-through street.
Downstairs is a large, air-conditioned bedroom with separate entrance and internal staircase to the main home.
An electric stairlift is fitted for those with a disability, as well as a special shower and heated bidet.
A long, lock-up single garage has room for storage.
Upstairs are two more large, air-conditioned bedrooms – both with built-ins – and a spacious sleepout or rumpus room, again with polished red stringybark floors.
The kitchen/dining area is combined.
There is an air-conditioned lounge area and high ceilings throughout.
The house is set on concrete stumps and 5kw solar power is grid connected.
Outside is the laundry with extra shower, a 6m by 3m timber shed with electricity and timber floor.
A bush house wraps around two sides of the shed while the grounds have mature fruit trees including bananas, mango, lime, mandarin, orange and dwarf mulberry.
