The way you start a new year can help determine the way it turns out.
So, let’s see what 2024 brings.
First auction listed in Noosa is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car apartment 1/81 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads.
Set for auction at 12pm, Saturday, 13 January, with Leigh Vercoe and Chris Kazal of Laguna Real Estate, it is a single-level, ground-floor apartment in a complex of seven with access to the waterways.
It offers two bedrooms, near-new ensuite, modern kitchen, spacious open-plan living and dining with good indoor/outdoor flow.
Fitted with split system air-conditioning and fans throughout, large windows provide lots of natural light and coastal breezes.
Outside, is a large, beautifully-maintained and secure courtyard, as well as single lock-up garage with auto door opener.
The small complex of seven features an in-ground swimming pool.
For Leigh Vercoe, the big bonus is there are no stairs to negotiate, which can be a big ask these days.
“It’s a ground-floor floor apartment and the location virtually opposite Quamby Place is perfect – half-way between Hastings St and Gympie Tce.
“It’s tidy, modern, well-maintained and has an exclusive-use courtyard.’’
Leigh has been familiar with the apartment over a number of years through the Laguna holiday bookings and said that as a rental it has always been popular with guests.
For the owner-occupier, the small complex brings with it lower body corporate fees.
There is a beach area to launch watercraft onto the canals and river.
LUXURY BY THE BEACH
An immaculately-maintained, four-bedroom house with pool at Peregian Beach is listed for auction on Saturday, 27 January.
Tracy Russell of Tom Offermann Real Estate takes the property at 25 Currawong Cres to the market at 1pm on the day.
Built by the owners 17 years ago, Tracy said, it was in an elevated position with hinterland aspect and 400m to the beach.
“With a modern, contemporary aesthetic, there is a tropical feel to it.
“It features big garaging, open living, pool and lavish pavilion.’’
From the undercover walkway, banks of tinted glass doors reveal a breezy leisure space with bluestone floors that have underfloor heating in the downstairs living space and all bathrooms.
Upstairs, there are polished blackbutt floors, multiple high-ceilinged entertaining spaces, and a fireplace set upon a polished cement plinth.
There is ducted air-conditioning throughout and the easy access to outdoors including undercover terraces which entirely wrap the south and west sides. A terrace on the north side is off the lounge.
The super-sized L-shaped kitchen with picture sliding windows and magical views such as Mt Tibrogargan, sports spectacular polished concrete topped cabinetry, including an island/breakfast bar. It features top-end appliances such as a gas cooktop with teppanyaki grill.
Upstairs, the king bedroom suite has a fashionable walk-in robe and ensuite with free-standing bathtub, stone and polished concrete topped two-basin cabinetry, travertine tiles, and rain head drencher showers. Adjacent is a study or extra bedroom, also a powder room.
Downstairs, the queen bedroom has a custom timber bedhead and wall of timber built-in robes, an ensuite and access to the pool terrace.
Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes have access to a north-facing undercover rear terrace.
There is abundant storage thanks to the laundry, adjacent store room, under the stairs and in the oversized garage which also has racks for surfboards.
MOUNTAIN RETREAT
With spectacular views of Cooroy Mountain to the north, a five-bedroom house on 6811sq m at Eumundi has no sooner been listed by Alisa Wythes of Hinternoosa than it has gone under offer.
Complete with separate studio, the house at 15-17 Capricorn Court features three bathrooms, four-car garaging and marketed at offers over $1,995,000.
Within a sealed cul-de-sac, the property features meticulously-manicured lawns with a sense of space and privacy.
The gated driveway opens to the single-storey home with spacious layout and distinct living areas that flow together.
Expansive windows throughout the home frame the mountain backdrop, bring the outdoors in as well as natural light.

As well as the five well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms, there is a separate studio being utilised as a home gym.

Alisa has been inundated with interest and offers on the property.
It’s what people seem to want … a beautiful home on a level property that offers privacy as well as quality position.
Interest has been from Brisbane, Adelaide and Noosa hinterland.
“It appeals to a broad audience,’’ Alisa said, “ … a level block for empty nesters but perfect for families too. And then add that mountain view.’’
There is a real tightness of listings of such properties but Alisa has one coming to the market at Lake Macdonald.

There is a good shed, dual road access and will appeal to families as well as retirees. It will be listed at offers over $1.195m.
