A hop step and short level walk from all the colour, entertainment and flavour of Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street, this exceptionally well presented single level residence sits serenely amongst the most beautiful courtyard gardens, while keeping a pleasing eye on the waterfront and sandy beach at its feet. The curve of the canal and long corridor of lush Sir Walter turf meeting a glass security gate to the waterfront, set the stage for a home of immense character boasting wall free living spaces and quality appointments.

This is principal place of residence for the present owners and strolling the grounds containing a variety of interlinked private areas, there is a feeling of quiet relaxation amongst lovingly tended plants and the occasional calming gaze of buddha. A deep main entry has a patterned metal security gate and double doors opening to a very wide central hallway and a rich grain of travertine floors continuing throughout the house.

The naturally lit ensuited main bedroom is delightfully large and French doors framed by plantation shutters invite morning sun and light. Marble tiles dress the bathroom floor to ceiling and a frameless glass shower with rainwater head is adjacent to a walk in wardrobe. Open doors embrace the Zen of an eastern courtyard. There is internal access from the double garage and a large study faces the pale blue waters of a twelve metre lap pool hugging the leafy boundary. A further two bedrooms sit in the other wing and a large laundry room has a direct connection to a drying yard doubling as perfect spot to enjoy morning sun or an afternoon snooze. There is access right around the house and plenty of space to store surfboards, fishing rods, bikes and kayaks when you are not out on foot exploring Noosa.

Travertine gleams softly underfoot and a huge set of sliding glass doors open one complete wall to the waterside terrace and lawn. A rain sensitive vergola roof ensures all weather alfresco dining in company of a copper backed water feature. The kitchen facing open living and terrace is a real treat and one that’s sure to encourage the chef in the family. Copious pantry and wide drawers are wrapped by some four metres of stainless atop a mighty Island bench, counters and splashback. Induction cook top, electric oven, dishwasher and pale honey toned timber cabinets come with the ease and luxury of soft close drawers.

If it’s time to brush up on your stroke you just need to slip into the pool and the protected waterways at your doorstep are a paddlers dream. Revealing little of its innate charm to the street front, box hedge New Zealand Christmas bush spans a privacy wall and from this point a profusion of native gardenia, fragrant frangipani, wild orchid, exotic succulents and lush underplantings take you on a tropical journey of discovery. With its north south flow a sea breeze is yours on demand, while hopper windows and banks of glass louvres promote passive ventilation and ensure airconditioners see little use.

Agent Nic Hunter remarked “It’s such an engaging home, fabulous gardens and an intimate view along the canal lifting privacy to new heights”. All adding up to a very desirable waterfront property in the heart of Noosa Heads.
