Embracing a perfect northerly aspect with absolute river frontage, the bright and breezy sun-filled apartment 4 at 76 Hilton Tce, Noosaville, attracted immense enquiry throughout the marketing campaign, especially from local and Brisbane investors.
Not surprising given it occupies a prized ground-floor, end position, and is mere footsteps to the river and the private marina mooring.
Marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Adam Offermann, the three-bedroom apartment is in a boutique complex, and just one of four complexes fronting the Noosa River, in the block between Hilton Esplanade and the entry to Noosa Waters.
There were four registered bidders vying for the key to the door on auction day and it was sold under the hammer for $2.59m.
HOMAGE TO NATURE
Noosa local and talented award-winning architect Jolyon Robinson’s creative albeit dramatic stamp with a nod to uber modern design, is evident everywhere at the four-bedroom 354 Duke Rd Doonan.
Listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh, the property is fashioned with clever responses.
There are expansive open-plan living and dining spaces, seemingly endless polished blackbutt flooring, prodigious high and mighty house-wide walls of glass louvres, doors, and topped with almost gravity-defying spatial raked ceilings.
Surrounded by bird-attracting gardens, the lustrous pool with natural reserve-like backdrop and walkway to the dam and fresh water creek, commands a spectacular presence. Another compelling reason for thrilled buyers when it was sold for $2.65m post auction.
THE BIRDS AND THE BREEZE
It’s a very cool property … architect designed and in one of the most private, tranquil settings.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom, five-car house with pool sits on 9664sq m at 23 Little Springs Lne, Lake Macdonald.
Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate takes the property to auction Friday, 15 November, at 11am.
“One of the most enjoyable things is watching the faces of people as they come down the driveway,’’ Chris said, “and seeing their expressions for the first time at an open house.
“That’s very enjoyable. The property is in its own world.
“The other aspect is it borders a reserve and wildlife corridor. So not only are you a distance from other properties but you have got a protected wildlife corridor at the back of really lush rainforest.’’
The property has been quite well received, Chris said, with a bit of locals – coastal and hinterland – and a good contingent from Brisbane as well.
The contemporary residence is fashioned with over-sized design and a sunny personality that takes advantage of the numerous natural assets.
Seamlessly connecting indoors to out, are wide wrap-around terraces. There are high ceilings, full-height silky oak framed picture windows and doors and seemingly endless beautiful bamboo flooring.
The open plan living area has a wood-burning fireplace, and a dedicated dining room – both spaces opening to the terrace across front of house.
The north-facing alfresco terraces sit beside the pool.
An L-shaped kitchen comes with stone-topped cabinetry including the island breakfast bar. Splashbacks are glass, drawers are soft-close, the pantry is well kitted out, and high-end appliances are AEG except for the icemaker fridge which is Fisher & Paykel.
Upstairs is the premier bedroom suite that is carpeted, has a lounge area, walk-in robe, and access to the east terrace. The recently renovated double ensuite with stone flooring has white tiled walls and stone topped lengthy two-basin cabinetry.
Along the hallway there’s a terrace on the northside with stairs to access the terrace and pool below. Three bedrooms come with built-in robes – one has a study nook; all have a terrace access or leafy outlook; the bathroom has a deep bathtub; and there’s a separate toilet.
The fifth bedroom is on the ground level, as is a bathroom, laundry and a workshop, maybe an office, with both internal and external access.
QUEENSLANDER NEAR THE RIVER
Nathan Howie and Jack Newton of Noosa Estate Agents have two auctions in Noosaville on Saturday, 16 November, that are similar in many ways yet different.
A four-bedroom, three-bathroom, one-car house at 20 William St goes to the market at 2pm.
“It is in a great location,’’ Nathan said, “… on a high density block for the future or to use now as a great holiday house.
“It’s a Queenslander near the river, on 551sq m with a 15.5m frontage.
“Renovated in the 2010-12 era, it has a study, great back yard and deck area.
“This is where lifestyle, location, and long-term value align.’’
The house offers the blend of a modern interior and classic charm. There is a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, highlighted by sleek glass stacker doors and high-quality finishes, including Miele appliances, and tallowwood floors.
Upstairs there is a main bedroom suite with private ensuite and walk-in robe. The three remaining bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom.
RIVERSIDE TOWNHOUSE
At 1pm on Saturday, 16 November, Nathan and Jack at Noosa Estate Agents take a three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-car townhouse at 1/2 Sunseeker Cl, Noosaville, to auction.
Again, in a riverside location, it is in a coveted setting offering a blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal living.
There has been plenty of interest in the property, Nathan said, mainly due to the location and with a park across the road.
“It is what everyone is looking for … private and ready for the new owner to make their mark.
“The townhouse is extremely liveable as it is from renovations in the past decade.
“There is a private outlook towards the water, and provides an affordable entry-level townhouse within a flat walk to everywhere.’’
SEAVIEW BY NAME AND NATURE
Breathe in the fresh sea air and take in the sweeping views from the oceanfront house at 40 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach, that Nic Hunter at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking to auction This classic three-bedroom, two-bathroom beach house with pool showcases beautiful architectural features, timeless finishes, and a tranquil main bedroom suite – all located in one of the Sunshine Coast’s premier addresses.
The main living area is upstairs, where wrap-around windows take full advantage of the ocean and beach views. At the same time a dramatically high ceiling mimics the curve of a wave.
Between the dining and lounge areas, the kitchen features quality appliances, sleek timber cabinetry, ample bench space, and a large island bench with room for seating.
On the ground level, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms including the main suite.
The spacious main bedroom offers a serene retreat with a private ensuite bathroom, and a round picture window framing native gardens and the blue sea.
A LOT TO LIKE ABOUT VALLEY HOME
Tranquil living and entertaining are on offer at a resort-style Doonan property David Berns of David Berns Real Estate is taking to auction Saturday, 23 November, at 2pm.
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom, four-car house with pool at 41 Valley Dve is on 6627sq m.
“It’s a great property that offers a lot,’’ David said. “It’s in a very good area …there’s a lot of house there.
“This is a spacious home that’s been well looked after, has good separation of bedrooms, and a nice backyard and entertaining area.
“There is a studio and office area. It’s affordable, and should sell on or before auction.’’
With European-influenced architect design, the split-level home has a guest wing with its own living area.
An Italian tile feature gas fireplace sets the tone of subtle luxury. The spotted gum timber flooring adds depth to the large open plan living and dining area complete with glass sliding doors that open out to an alfresco dining area and saltwater pool.
The backdrop is of a rainforest canopy of native and tropical plants.
Internal stairs across a feature bridge lead to the mezzanine level that could be used as a home office, media room or kids space.
Caesarstone bench tops adorn the kitchen that comes with ample storage, six-burner gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and an island bench. A servery window gives direct access to the alfresco dining.
The guest wing is private and set aside from the family bedrooms. It has a large open plan living space with built-in wardrobe and ensuite in neutral tones.
The main bedroom features full glass sliding doors that overlook the pool and the gardens. Split level, it comes with the ensuite and walk-in robe on the upper level.
The ensuite features a double walk-in shower, free-standing bath, double sinks and heated towel rails.
All the bedrooms have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and carpeted with near-new Bremworth New Zealand wool.
The main bathroom has a walk-in shower and free-standing bath.
Downstairs in this energy-efficient house is a studio with separate entry, deck and powder room.
