The final weekend of July has some strong auction properties scheduled at Noosa Heads and the Eastern Beaches.
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car, architect-designed house with pool at 7 Wild Apple Ct, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, July 29, at 2pm.
Listed with Peter TeWhata of Tom Offermann Real Estate, right from the first open home on a Wednesday morning it has been attracting good feedback.
Private inspections were booked right from the outset.
“It’s a ’wow’ home,’’ Peter said, “one of those houses where you just stand back and admire the design, the workmanship, the features.’’
Architect designed, it was awarded a gold for design excellence by the Design Institute of Australia and seamlessly integrates indoor/outdoor living while maximising height, light and space.
The two-level home comes with a massive void that has all the living areas downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs.
There are stacks of louvres, timber floors to complement the tiling, a waterfall kitchen bench, and an extensive north-facing alfresco and solar-heated lap pool.
ABOVE THE CROWDS
Chris Miller at Tom Offermann Real Estate has an architect-designed three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 99 Upper Hastings St, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction Friday, 28 July, at 11am.
Chris said the response was among the strongest he has seen as Little Cove is a tightly-held precinct and this is the only house available in there.
“The timber and glass construction looks sensational … it’s a beach house come tree house.
“The terrace that sits in the canopy of the trees has eastern and northerly aspect, so light comes into the living areas.
On 606sq m, it is extremely private with the upper level featuring beautiful, white, open-plan living, and dining spaces.
These blend with an undercover terrace and a massive north and east-facing secluded alfresco space that has an immediate connection to the sheer beauty of the natural forest environment.
Clerestory-height raked ceilings, frameless glass panes and banks of louvres are protected by wide eaves, and almost all of them open allowing cross-ventilation and natural light to fill the rooms.
There are numerous entertaining options as well as a galley-style kitchen with white, stone-topped benches and the full complement of high-end Miele appliances. An island/breakfast bar extends outdoors thanks to a gas-strut servery window, and fridges are under-bench.
The king-size main bedroom comes with its undercover terrace, open-sided terrazzo-tiled ensuite, free-standing bathtub, large frameless glass shower, double vanities in ’floating’ cabinetry plus built-in robes with shoji doors.
Next door has custom office cabinetry as well as built-in robes.
On the entry level, a carpeted second living/media area has access to a long undercover terrace, as do two bedrooms with built-in robes. One has a powder room ensuite and there’s a family size bathroom, also laundry and a storeroom.
TOP-FLOOR LIVING
A top-floor two-bedroom, three-bathroom riverfront penthouse apartment at Noosaville has been listed by Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate at $2.690m.
Apartment 2/179 Gympie Tce enjoys a north-facing position not far from Thomas St, with complete privacy.
The full-floor apartment has direct internal lift access and two-car lock-up garaging.
“It is very stylish,’’ Melanie said, “and proving very appealing to southern buyers and those from New Zealand.
“There are only two apartments in the complex. The location is brilliant.
“Some are looking with a view of relocating while others are seeking a place to holiday or use as a retreat.
“There are windows right around, high ceilings, and lots of sunshine.
“Being north facing, it is perfect for winter while there is a covered verandah for summer.’’
The open-plan kitchen and living flow out to the balcony while stone benches, cool tiles and neutral tones feature throughout.
Each bedroom has an ensuite, balcony and built-in robes.
M
A five-bedroom, three-bathroom, three-car house with pool at 18 Wyuna Dve, Noosaville, would suit families or those seeking a “forever home’’ in a private location.
Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to auction at 1pm on Saturday, 29 July.
The response to date has included quite a few Brisbane people looking to move permanently to Noosa.
“It would suit retirees,’’ Tiffany said, “but also families.
“There are two ensuited bedrooms on the ground level, and the others more upstairs.’’
An indication of how tightly-held the precinct is, there has been no dry-block sales since 2021.
“The park is central to all dry blocks,’’ Tiffany said. “It’s like having a huge back yard and gives extra space for the family.’’
Much of the appeal is the ground-floor bedrooms and living; also the low maintenance and being a flat block.
The location is central to Hastings St as well as Gympie Tce, and it is easy to launch water craft such as paddle boards.
The house features vaulted ceilings, plantation shutters and blackbutt flooring in the expansive dining and the living areas.
A serious courtyard is on the east side and there is a north-facing terrace, pool and garden.
THE RIGHT ADVICE
An auction with Diana Pound of Century 21 Noosa at 52 Hendry St, Tewantin, on Saturday reminded me of the value of real estate.
James Callianiotis was the auctioneer and I first saw him quite a few years ago at the Queensland state awards of a national franchise agency.
James was presenting awards and told those attending that a strong marketing or auction campaign was the best way to success with property.
Those words were on show at Ward St on Saturday with a crowd of about 70 in attendance at the original two-bedroom, one-bathroom house on 1002sq m.
There were six registered bidders for the property – mostly local.
The auction was held in the back yard with people gathered around the rotary clothes hoist and under the mature mango trees.
James got it started at $800,000, reminding that it had been more than 30 years since the property was last available.
Three bidders took it to $920,000, where the auctioneer announced the property would be sold on the day.
In all, five bidders took part, mainly with rises of $5000 and $10,000 to $1.165m, then in odd bids to $1.197m when, after 55 bids, it was sold under the hammer.
James announced that the four-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront home at 15 Key Ct, Noosa Heads, had sold prior to auction with David Conolly and Mike Hay from the Century 21 Noosa office.
BEACHFRONT APPEAL
Diamonds are forever … especially when a sparkling seaside residence has a dramatic sky pool, wall-to-wall super-high panes, wider-than-wide sparkling Coral Sea views, and it appears to float into the sunny and summery surrounds.
A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, beachfront house with pool at 22 Peregian Esp, Peregian Beach, is scheduled to go to auction Saturday, 22 July, at 11am with Nic Hunter ofTom Offermann Real Estate.
With inspired design by renowned Trevor Reitsma, the interior features ceiling-to-floor glass that extends the width of the residence then half way it ostensibly disappears, morphing indoors to outdoors, revealing a massive undercover terrace.
The pool invites brilliant blue ocean views and gives the impression of hovering above the trees.
The designer kitchen mixes function and flair with natural stone on the bench tops, custom cream and charcoal cabinetry with soft-close drawers and pantry.
A mezzanine space, again with wondrous sea views, is fitted with custom office cabinetry, while the gallery-like hallway has a dedicated study niche.
The king-size main bedroom retreat suite has access to a private terrace, walls of built-in robes and an ensuite with a vanity console, mirrored wall cabinetry, separate toilet and a walk-in shower.
There are built-in robes in the three queen-size bedrooms.
