Waterfront grandeur steals the limelight

Boasting flourishes of Hamptons’ inspiration, whispers of cool Palm Springs, and etched with the unimpeachable credentials of Gmelli Design, it appears to be a private albeit lush oasis from the street. Looking from the waterway however, at its prized position in the dress circle, the substantial residence teases with its sense of grandeur and contemporary brilliance.

The generous yet serene sculpted form, fringed by frangipanis defines the wide streetscape. Spectacular pavers which appear to float, form the pathway and are dotted with pots of established olive trees, while epitomising the heart and soul of an idyllic summer escape is a luminescent pool, which morphs into a water feature at the entry. Bespoke doors disappear to divulge the pinnacle of design excellence. It ensures every space benefits from visions of water and blurs the lines between indoors and out.

Admire endless European oak floors in a herringbone pattern and designer rugs throughout the massive open plan formal, informal and dining spaces with a predominantly blue and white aesthetic, wall sconces, pendants and statement chandeliers, such as one with the moniker of Ralph Lauren, also an abundance of fine cabinetry, three fireplaces framed with tactile dry alpine stacked stone, while beyond the tall French doors, is a custom daybed. It spells romance.

Entertaining options are numerous when indoors extends to the super-size undercover terraces with a built-in barbeque station, also a cubby house for the kids. Claiming the spotlight however, on the larger-than-average prestigious site, is understandably the northerly orientated deep waterfrontage with grass verge, where clear waters gently lap the revetment wall, also the long jetty, recommended for sunset drinks. Worth noting, is boating enthusiasts have access to the Noosa River via a private residents-only lock and weir system.

Next level lavish is the custom kitchen by Wyer + Craw, with every accoutrement on the wish-list of a passionate cook – even a professional.

It comprises two island benches/breakfast bar, porcelain-topped shaker-style profile cabinetry with glass panels, Carrara marble splash backs and multiple high-end appliances, also a serious butlers’ pantry and a wine cellar.

Interestingly there is not a plain wall in the house, and it all works. Even the powder room is embraced as an opportunity to showcase beautifully crafted wainscoting spliced with textural, grass cloth wallpaper.

The stunning west wing has two master-style suites. Bathrooms are tiled with imported gold inlay Carrara marble tiles. One with access to the northerly terraces has an outdoor stone bath and rain shower also a retreat/quiet space. It opens to the decadent pool area surrounding the pool house.

With its pearl glass mosaic tiles, potted olive trees ostensibly floating, sink-into chairs, a bar and custom cabinetry ’hiding’ the television and sound system, this is living in the lap of fabulosity – island-style, as featured in glossy magazines for all to envy!

Upstairs with its pitched roof, also keeps on giving. The library features a custom upholstered daybed which hugs a window overlooking the water. An enormous kids’ domain has a media room, enormous bunk room and a marble bathroom, which is shared by a guest bedroom, with terrace overlooking the wide waterways.

Looking for the ultimate master suite with views over two canals out to pretty Seahorse Bridge from the terrace, a walk-in robe over six metres long with island cabinetry, a make-up room, dresser, marble bathroom with free-standing tub, plus a shoe room? This is a fashionista’s dream come true.

“Noosa Waters is known nationally as one of Australia’s premier housing precincts because of its high calibre residences, award-winning designs, and deep-water frontages,“ extols eponymous principal of Tom Offermann Real Estate and agent Nic Hunter. “Pride of ownership is evident throughout the estate with manicured gardens, streetscapes and parks, tantamount to a prevailing overtone of community, family safety and security“.
