Landmark beachfront home on Sunshine Beach

This iconic architect designed beachfront home commands attention as it cantilevers over Sunshine Beach.

Its privileged position allows you to feel like you are floating on the ocean. Significantly, it sits higher than homes to the north which allows an expansive view of not only the ocean but also to the north along the length of the beach to the headland and National Park.

The sculpted design by Frank Macchia cleverly provides for the house to be oriented to the north and east. Full length balconies face due north allowing for year round sun while full length windows to the east provide protection from the wind.

The home provides multiple living areas and a seamless integration between the outside and inside.

Sandstone feature walls, sand-hued floor tiles, an undercover terrace, with a 14-metre-long pool, set the overall beachy scene in the living and dining area. Making a splash, however, is the kitchen propped on a polished timber plinth.

Blackstone counter tops, cream mosaic-tiled splashback, and island bench with a grey tiled inset, are complemented by classy pendants and classic black and chrome stools, which are fixed to the floor but of course swivel on a whim to catch oceanic moments, such as whales in the season, and hang gliders off the Noosa National Park headland at the northerly end.

The master suite is designed to capture the magnificent views allowing sunrise to be watched from bed. Site-line windows, a walk-in robe and dressing table, a huge ensuite with shower and seating tiled in white tiles and grey mosaics are accompanied by two separate white basins. An office area with a custom-built desk is situated nearby.

Upstairs is more a studio than a master-sized bedroom. It has an ensuite, built-in robes, a kitchenette, separate entrance, plus access to the living areas.

On the lower level is a twin bedroom, family-sized bathroom, laundry, and a super-sized casual living/media space opening out to a beachside terrace, rear garden, and everyone’s favourite stairs leading down to the beach.

“Swap the alarm for the sound of waves breaking on shore, grab surfboards, kids, and dogs, and head down the steps in front to the beach, because this is the heavenly side of Sunshine,“ enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney who is taking the property to auction on Sunday 24 October.

“For those seeking a private, safe, secure and unrivalled lifestyle this beautiful beach house has the most amazing views plus it is in one of the most revered streets of beachside Sunshine Beach. This home is situated equidistant between the off lead dog area of Sunshine and the patrolled beach. A short stroll up to the Surf Club and shops.“
