It’s back to business after a dreamlike Christmas-New Year in Noosa.
The last few weeks of December saw some interesting sales either at auction or prior to the day.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom waterfront house with pool at 12 Topsails Pl, Noosa Waters, saw three registered bidders and about 20 attendees.
Throughout the campaign Adam Offermann and Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate fielded enquiries predominantly from New South Wales and Victoria, as well as some local interest.
The property sold at auction for $6.3m and the ecstatic buyers will be moving in with their family from NSW in time for the start of the school year.
There is a focus on quality property in Noosa Waters which continues to show strong demand.
This was north-facing on 830sq m waterfront with a private long water view, and as the agents said there was nothing else like it on the market.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Another December auction saw a similar result – this time at Culgoa Point Beach Resort on Noosa Sound.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate took the two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment 39/5 Quamby Pl, to the market, and saw a happy mix of holiday makers and owners from the building filling the room to watch.
It sold for $1.825m and the Melbourne buyers who know the building will be heading north this month.
CHARACTER HOME SELLS
A much-admired original river house at Noosaville has surprised many, selling within a week after being listed at $3.2m.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom 1960s house at 139 Gympie Tce is on a level 462sq m, zoned medium density.
Jesse Stowers of Tom Offermann Real Estate handled the sale, to one of Australia’s biggest home builders.
The property is one of only two original weekender cottages boasting the privileged address of sun-splashed Gympie Terrace.
North-facing with uninterrupted views of the Noosa River across the parkland, means it will not to be built out, Jesse said.
MULTIPLE OPTIONS
There will be interest in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage at 13 Russell St, Noosaville, that goes to auction Saturday, 25 January, at 10am.
Melanie Butcher and Olivier Miller at Laguna Real Estate are taking the property to the market, and have already seen a mixed bag of locals and southern investors, developers as well as land bankers stepping forward.
The original Queensland cottage is on a prime 637sq m site, 200 metres from the Noosa River.
It offers endless potential for redevelopment or immediate enjoyment, Melanie said, catering to investors, holidaymakers, and those looking to create their ultimate home.
Already a popular holiday rental, the cottage has plenty of space to accommodate boats, trailers, and caravans.
There is a multi-purpose area on the ground level that adds to the liveability.
This property offers the dual benefit of immediate rental income and long-term land banking.
RIVERFRONT TREASURE
One of Noosaville’s hidden treasures is set for auction at 1pm on Saturday, 25 January.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-car riverfront apartment 3/1 Russell St, is being marketed by Tim McSweeney of Tom Offermann Real Estate.
The very tightly held River Gums complex features five-apartments with secure auto entry gate, waterfront lawn and deepwater pontoon jetty.
This two-level absolute riverfront apartment comes with one neighbour, and views of the Noosa River mouth, Noosa Spit Recreation Reserve, Noosa Sound, the green sweep of Noosa North Shore, Noosaville and Tewantin, and beyond to Mt Tinbeerwah. Majestic grey ghost gums help set the scene.
Upstairs are the open-plan living and dining spaces with VJ ceilings and beech flooring. A bank of doors almost disappear when opened to the north-facing undercover terrace.
This outdoor living space runs the width of the recently refurbished apartment. There’s an undeniable sense of tranquillity and from sunrise to sunset, ever changing scenery from this extraordinary vantage point.
Central to the living space is a well-designed galley kitchen, stainless steel-topped bench, smoky glass splashback, timber-topped island breakfast bar, pantry, and the latest appliances including Ceran cooktop and Ariston dishwasher.
There are two bedrooms. Upstairs, the king-size main suite has an adjoining sunroom with louvres and a verdant outlook, built-in robes and ensuite/powder room. This features marble-look wall and floor tiles, white cabinetry with black stone top and white basin.
The queen suite is on the lower level and at the end of the apartment block. Open the doors to the undercover terrace, the lawn area and river. It also has two built-in robes and a large ensuite with the same design elements as upstairs.
TOP-FLOOR LIVING
Showcasing spectacular views of the Noosa River, a fully-furnished apartment in the waterfront resort Noosa Shores on Noosa Sound is set for auction Saturday, 25 January.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 23/86 Noosa Pde to the market at 12pm.
On the top floor with a good north-east aspect, it is the favoured block that fronts the river and backs onto parkland.
“Not many apartments come up for sale in Noosa Shores,’’ Luke said.
“Most interest in this property has been from Interstate – Victorians like it particularly because they can get the winter sun.’’
The views are towards the Noosa Spit, the river mouth and the North Shore in the distance.
The open plan living area takes full advantage of the beautiful aspect with wall-to-wall glass sliding doors leading to the balcony.
The living zone has comfortable seating for the whole family, a dining area with a six-seater dining setting, and a fully-equipped modern kitchen.
The main bedroom has serene park views and a queen-size bed while the second bedroom has two single beds.
WITTA CIRCLE OPPORTUNITY
Roark Walsh of Tom Offermann Real Estate has an enticing auction coming up on Noosa Sound this month – a five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 4 Witta Ccl.
Set to go to the market at 2pm on Saturday, 25 January, the as-new residence offers the option of dual living.
The pristine white and sandstone wall of La Casa exudes a luxury coastal vibe. Open the front door into the gallery-like foyer and a cool aesthetic – high, coffered, recessed ceiling lights, in the multiple casual living spaces featuring Italian-tiled flooring.
Stone and glazed walls blur indoors to out where extensive undercover terraces almost morph into the pool and sun deck.
The lavish galley kitchen has stone-topped washed timber cabinetry extending to ceiling height on one wall, also an island breakfast bar, as well as in the butlers-style walk-in pantry and laundry. The latest range of Miele appliances are featured.
There are five sizeable, well-appointed bedrooms with four in the south-east wing.
Stealing the limelight is the premier suite with terrace and pool access, a wall of built-in robes and a generous white finger-tiled ensuite with bathtub, cream stone two-basin-topped cabinetry and distinctive black-framed mirrors.
Three bedrooms have built-in robes and a bathroom with a bathtub, styled in a similar fashion to the other.
A private guest wing is more like an apartment, with its own entry and car space.
The large bedroom with access to the pool and terrace, has a built-in robe and bathroom – similarly styled as the others but this time with single-basin cabinetry.
