It’s a cracking property …. a renovated Queensland-style home on 0.87ha at Doonan.
Kess prior of Hinternoosa said the inquiry level on the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with pool at 10 Marnie Cres has been amazing.
Set for auction ay 1pm on Friday, March 25, the property has generated more inquiry than any Kess has marketed in the past 12 months.
“It’s an amazing home,’’ she said. “Just beautiful.
“It’s homely and modern but not pretentious.’’
At the open house last Saturday eight to 10 cars were parked in the street prior to the advertised inspection time.
Kess reported 30 groups through on the day.
“The property is picturesque,’’ she said. “The home overlooks a creek and there are a number of picnic spots among the grounds.
“There is a lined 6m by 6m studio that could be used for a multiple number of purposes.’’
Stained glass feature windows, bay doors, high ceiling and timber floors blend with air-conditioning and plantation shutters.
A separate dining and living space with combustion fireplace flows from the central kitchen.
A magnesium in-ground pool with sunning decks, an outdoor fire and pizza oven area are set among the trees.
EVENING AUCTION IN HASTINGS ST
All eyes will be on the Starlight Suite at Netanya Noosa on Saturday at 6pm when the four-bedroom, three-bathroom beachfront penthouse goes to auction with Frank Milat and Shane McCauley of Richardson & Wrench Noosa.
The initial auction was postponed two weeks due to the rain event and completion of renovations to the building.
The evening auction will highlight what is special about the penthouse – rooftop terrace, northerly aspect, sunset over Laguna Bay.
“You know what it’s like at the surf club as the sun disappears,’’ Frank said.
“You are right on the beach … it’s beautiful.
“Netanya has been renovated and shows brilliant returns.
“It’s an example of being able to have your cake and eat it too.’’
EYE-CATCHING BEACH HOUSE
Another property being taken to auction by Richardson & Wrench is 18 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom beachfront house with pool is being marketed by Frank Milat and Shane McCauley, and is scheduled to go to the market at 1pm on Saturday, April 9.
“It’s a nice property,’’ Frank said, “… a big new home.
“Modern and with oak floors from a church, it is an open beach house … inviting, comfortable, with lots of open spaces.
“Lovely and light, with a beautiful aspect … it catches the winter sun and has really good finishes.
“That’s what stands out.’’
Frank said they were very happy with the early responses, with inspections already being organised.
TWO FROM TWO
Nathan Howie at Noosa Estate Agents sold two widely different properties by auction at the weekend.
The first was a three-bedroom, top-floor apartment 29 Offshore Resort at 287 Gympie Tce, Noosaville.
That was on Saturday and with five registered bidders, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald saw a start at $1.5m.
It was called on the market at $1.810m which saw bidding really come to life.
After 30 bids the apartment, which offered wide Noosa River outlook, was sold at $1.855m to Victorian buyers looking at it on a long-term basis.
After all, the vendors had held it for 11 years.
The second auction on the weekend was Sunday and the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 7 Granite Ct, Noosaville.
It sold at auction to a Sydney buyer who had been keeping an eye on the market and came up particularly for this one.
Like many buyers in recent times, they are responding to the ability to work from home.
Nathan will be taking a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 42 Southern Cross Pde, Sunrise Beach, to auction Friday, March 25, at 5pm.
He has had heaps of inquiry, especially from Brisbane, on the fully renovated family home with ocean views
“It has mainly been owner-occupiers,’’ Nathan said, “… relocating, as their children are enrolled in school here or have finished their studies.
“Again, there are people with the ability to work from home … definitely a lot of South-east Queensland inquiry.
“They appreciate the views, that you can walk to the beach, and there is plenty of room in what is a great family home.’’
Another auction to watch for will be the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 18 Sternlight St, Noosa Waters.
Scheduled to go to the market at 9am on April 9, the house features high ceilings in the living area, new kitchen and two new bathrooms, as well as original features.
POSITION, POTENTIAL
There is good, solid interest in a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home at 1/20 Belmore Tce, Sunshine Beach, that Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking to auction at 10am Saturday, March 19.
Nic has been holding two open homes a week and reports people have been looking for position close to the village, the surf and the patrolled beach.
Having existing rights to short term holiday letting is a big advantage yet the new owner will need to confirm that.
Interest has been mainly from Sydney and Melbourne, but also numerous locals looking to downsize.
“People are moving out of shares into bricks and mortar for holiday letting,’’ Nic said. “There is strong demand – real merit for investment return and location.’’
The Chris Clout-design sees blackbutt floors seemingly stretch to the undercover terrace with ocean views.
Central to the upper level is the galley-style kitchen with expansive stone-topped benches and breakfast bar.
Ocean views are also on show from the terrace of the main bedroom suite with its walk-in robe, marble bathroom and custom-made conical-shaped vanity basin.
Downstairs are two queen-size bedrooms that share a share a chic bathroom with a free-standing bathtub.
Off an undercover terrace is a dazzling pool and water feature on a slate-tiled wall.
Nic is also taking a single-level house at 21 Headland Dve to auction Saturday that offers entry-level buying into Noosa Waters.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house is on a plum 673sq m corner position.
“It is a magnificent property,’’ Nic said, “… well maintained, walled from the street and with lush tropical gardens.
“It presents very nicely.’’
Cedar plantation shutters add a cool taste of the Bahamas to the family residence with generous living and entertaining spaces extending to the north-facing terrace.
The auction is at 2pm.
INUNDATED WITH INQUIRY
From the moment it hit the internet last Monday, Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa have received consistent levels of inquiry on the five-bedroom, three-bathroom house on 1.09ha at 163 Lenehans Lane, Doonan.
Set for auction at 2pm on Wednesday, March 23, the two-storey home is an idyllic Noosa hinterland lifestyle property, Jeanette said.
“There has been a huge response by email and phone calls from everywhere – locals and the Sunshine Coast.
“Then there are buyers who have moved here, having already sold elsewhere and are in temporary accommodation until they buy – Brisbane, New South Wales, even from South Australia.
“It’s been a great mix of age groups which shows the property’s wide appeal – from the house to the easy-care land and it’s terrific location.
“Even during another thunderstorm and downpour on last Wednesday’s first open saw eight groups at the inspection, that’s mid week.’’An all-weather driveway, lined with gingers and various native
Set back from the road, the house offers a versatile layout.
On the ground level are timber floors, light and bright open plan living and a main bedroom with recently remodelled ensuite and walk-in robe.
The kitchen has induction cooking and features a butler’s pantry, while bifold windows open to a covered outdoor entertaining area.
Upstairs showcases three more good-size bedrooms with built-in robes, study area, family bathroom and another living space that opens out to a covered balcony.
As well as a triple garage size area plus carport, there is an air-conditioned and ensuited room with a wet bar kitchenette area.
