Eastern beaches top popularity poll

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, eight-vehicle house, stables, on 2ha at 1024 Browns Creek Rd, Eerwah Vale, is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, February 26. 267357_01

An original multi-level beach house with an ab-fab whimsical aesthetic, lush garden, national park backdrop and ocean views at 7 McAnally Dve in Sunshine Beach, had Tom Offermann Real Estate listing agent Chris Miller on his toes during a busy marketing campaign.

Chris had been fielding interest from mainly interstate plus very keen locals ahead of Saturday’s auction.

Four registered bidders on the day were equally hopeful of redeveloping the 744sq m site, 200 metres to the beach.

However, it was sold under the hammer for $3.55m to excited expats.

On Sunday, the Roark Walsh-listed 13 Petrel St at Peregian Beach attracted big interest mainly from Brisbane-ites during the marketing campaign.

Twenty five people attended the auction, and three bidders who thought the quiet location was perfect for a family.

Bidding started at $2m, stalled at $2.25m and sold immediately afterwards for $2.3m to a buyer from Victoria who viewed it on FaceTime and paid $2.3m.

The Eastern beaches also featured prominently in the latest RateMyAgent awards, while Tom Offermann Real Estate collected the majority of gongs.

COMFORT, STYLE AND PRIVACY

It was a great result at Doonan last Friday when Mark Hodgkinson and Cassandra Young of Reed & Co took 43 Regency Rd to auction.

A comfortable six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 0.6ha, the property attracted three registered bidders – two on site and a third on the phone from Sydney.

In an elevated position, the house had breath-taking panoramic views, and was grand in scale as well as proportion. 

The Sydney interest responded early in the campaign, Mark said, and were able to inspect it.

Bidding started at $2.5m ad sold at $3.450m to the Sydney buyer.

The property offered modern acreage living with Queenslander charm and elegance, while providing the ultimate in privacy.

Mark and Cassandra now have a three-bedroom house with studio on 4000sq m at Verrierdale they are taking to the market on Friday, February 25, at 1pm.

Rebuild, renovate or rejuvenate, Mark said.

“We are getting smashed with inquiry on this high-set house.

“Elevated to capture the breezes, this western red cedar home with wrap-around verandas is ripe for completion.’’

The house, at 11 Pryor Rd, features a new kitchen with gas appliances, Caesarstone benchtops and soft close drawers.

There is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, glass-panel stacking doors and a 10kW solar system.

As well as a two-bay shed, there is a separate self-contained cabin.

PREMIUM POSITION

With long water views and parkland next door, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront house with pool and jetty at 5 The Peninsula, Noosa Waters, goes to auction Thursday, February 24, at 2pm.

Marketed by Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville of Noosa Estate Agents, the single-level home by an award-winning designer is on a 730sq m block.

“There is good interest,’’ Scott said. “It’s a good-feel house – open, bright, breezes, high ceilings, and stunning views down the waterway.

’’Early interest has been from interstate, Brisbane and local – upsizing and getting into the waterfront market.

“The site is that good that builders are looking at it.

“It’s a premium site near some of the best homes in the area.’’

Neighbouring leafy parklands, this well-proportioned home is ripe for a quality renovation or possible new build.

Spacious open-plan living areas have high, lofty ceilings and tiled floors. A large central kitchen features Caesarstone benchtops with a long breakfast bar.

As well as the three bedrooms there is a home office or extra sleepout, all of which have blue gum timber flooring.

The corner block provides an 18m-wide water frontage to the canal.

The property includes a 10kW solar system, Crimsafe screens, ducted air-conditioning, swimming pool and established jetty.

SUNSHINE IN DEMAND

Saturday’s auction of the single-level three-bedroom house with pool at 32 Solway Dve, Sunshine Beach, went beyond the seller’s expectations.

Kathy Wise of Sunshine Beach Real Estate had three registered bidders by the midday start time – both local and from interstate.

After some spirited back and forth between the bidders, the phone buyer from Sydney won the day … but only just.

Sold at auction for $1.785m, the appeal was the location – close to the national park, beaches and shops – the size, and ability to land bank or renovate.

Kathy, together with Sunshine Beach Real Estate colleague Rob Spencer, next has a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 44 Ferguson St, Sunshine Beach, going to auction on March 5.

SOUND TOWNHOUSE SELLS

Jill Goode of Tom Offermann Real Estate has put a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse on Noosa Sound under contract prior to the auction scheduled for Sunday, February 27.

The townhouse 5/53 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, attracted a strong offer at the second open home and has sold for $2.3m to a Victorian buyer.

Fellow Offermann agent Chris Miller is working with interest on the two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse apartment 7503/5 Morwong Dve, Noosa Heads.

And he looks like having another penthouse in Peppers Resort going to auction early next month – a three-bedroom, single-level apartment.

Meanwhile Chris is busy with inquiry on the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with pool at 4/1-7 Bayview Rd, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction on Sunday, February 27.

PRIVACY CLOSE TO TOWN

A renovator on acreage … it’s what everyone seems to want.

And that was born out at the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, eight-vehicle house, stables, on 2ha at 1024 Browns Creek Rd, Eerwah Vale, with about 30 people through the first open for inspection.

Marketed by Theodora Garwood and David Garwood of Garwoods Estate Agents, the property is set for auction at 2pm on Saturday, February 26.

“It needs some work,’’ David said, “but the stables are in solid condition.

“It’s a very nice block of land that was previously agistment and had run six horses.

“The location is eight minutes from Eumundi yet private.’’

The stable block comes with 10 stalls, a tack room, kitchen and bathroom. There is also a large shed.

The house is on two levels, with multiple rooms and perfect for the owner-builder.

It sits on a slight knoll overlooking the rest of the land – gently rolling, with plenty of flat area and a long driveway.

TOP-LEVEL APARTMENT

Anita Nichols at Laguna Real Estate has a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the Colonial Resort at 15/239-245 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, set for auction Saturday, February 19, at midday.

Fully furnished, north facing, and on the top level, it features a large kitchen with granite benchtops and quality appliances.

The resort features a refurbished pool and entertaining area, and offers secure underground parking for one vehicle.

ROMANCE OF A QUEENSLANDER

There was a fantastic response to the five-bedroom house, three-bathroom house with pool on 1.09ha at 244 Duke Rd, Doonan, with Penny Neep and Caroline Thomas of Penny Neep Real Estate.

Offering dual living potential, the property was listed at offers over $1,650,000.

“Queenslanders are so desirable at the moment,’’ Penny said, “ … they are so romantic.’’

With high ceilings, Tasmanian oak timber flooring in the main living areas, ducted air-conditioning upstairs and slow-burning wood stove, the home featured a refurbished kitchen with stone benchtops and gas stove.

Plantation shutters highlighted the main living areas and guest bedrooms.

After multiple offers were received, the property went to a local couple.
