Imagine totally irresistible everything. Think stairway to heaven albeit the ultimate rarity of an exclusive staircase from poolside on the absolute beachfront, to your lavish penthouse and sizeable roof terrace, with sweeping northerly views to sigh for.
World class and truly spectacular, from the glistening white sand and azure waters of Noosa Main Beach and Laguna Bay, First Point and the Noosa National Park, stretching to the Noosa North Shore, Coloured Sands and Double Island Point.
"These blue-chip apartments are rarely offered," comments Tom Offermann who originally sold La Mer apartments off the plan. "Five of the nine apartments have been owned for over 30 years, so acquiring one will never be easy, however, the six year wait since the last may soon be over for one fortunate buyer acquiring a truly rare collectible."
Step inside, look along the hallway and admire whispers of the Bahamas with polished parquetry flooring, skylight and colourful artworks.
There's an abundance of space in the well-appointed living and dining area with high vaulted ceiling, classic timber and cane furniture plus blue and white accents. Plantations shutters and tall walls of glass seemingly disappear, to morph from indoors to out exuding an extra sense of space. It is as fresh and exhilarating as an early morning swim and a walk along the beach.
Those with a penchant for entertaining will be in their element. The all-white U-shaped kitchen with stone-topped cabinetry including the semi- island breakfast bar high end appliances from Bosch and Fisher & Paykel, every accoutrement for casual lunches or romantic dinners, and for inspiration look to the sea and beach.
For the definitive piece de resistance take the few easy steps to the sizeable roof terrace, where it's somewhat like walking on a cloud. Light up the barbeque and drink in the moody theatrics, as the fiery vermillion orb is replaced by the moon's glow mirrored over the indigo-hued Laguna Bay, one of only two north-facing beachfronts on the east coast. Add sides of salty breezes and the sound of the waves. Think forever holidays.
There are three bedrooms including the premier suite with a balcony looking over Hastings Street, a wall mounted smart television, built-in robe and ensuite with two-basin timber topped cabinetry.
Two bedrooms share a bathroom; the laundry is fully equipped; and the single car space has a storeroom.
A bevy of beachside restaurants, also cafes, bars, art galleries and boutiques are literally on the doorstep; it is a few minutes along the boardwalk to the main entrance of famous Noosa National Park as well as the world-renowned surfing reserve; and take the righthand path on Hasting Street for The Woods and the Noosa River mouth.
"When it comes to three bedroom penthouses on the beachfront with sizeable roof terraces, there are just six," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Jesse Stowers, "and La Mer has the only beachfront penthouses that feature an external 'stairway to heaven' access from the beach and pool.
"Spectacular rental returns, needless to say are second-to-none, thanks to year-round, back-to-back holiday bookings and our idyllic sub-tropical climate, making this is an outstanding investment opportunity."
