A truly charming residence that radiates character and soul, this bespoke home blends timeless design with practical living. Inspired by its creator's passions for travel, theatre and garden design, the home draws subtle influence from Japanese architecture through the thoughtful use of natural materials, stone, timber and traditional shoji-style elements. The gentle interplay of light and shade throughout the interiors creates warmth, texture and intrigue.
Positioned in one of Buderim's most desirable streets, 23 Eckersley Avenue offers relaxed and versatile living, perfectly suited to the active downsizer who loves entertaining or a family seeking separate spaces for work, relaxation and play.
Multiple living areas feature soaring ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through banks of louvre windows. The galley-style kitchen connects effortlessly to a covered, north-facing alfresco entertaining area via a convenient servery window. Overlooking a private swimming pool framed by lush greenery, the outdoor setting evokes the tranquil atmosphere of your own secluded forest, with neighbouring homes discreetly hidden from view.
From both the lounge and the main bedroom, the garden atrium courtyard provides a peaceful retreat. Filled with exotic plantings and centred around a moss-covered Buddha statue, the courtyard offers a calming sanctuary - the perfect place to unwind with a morning coffee or weekend newspaper.
All day-to-day living is conveniently located on the ground floor. A majestic entrance featuring a distinctive brass dragon doorknob welcomes guests into a spacious entry foyer that flows through to the open-plan lounge and dining area - an inviting space designed for entertaining. Bi-fold doors extend the living area seamlessly to the outdoor deck and pool area, while the gas "Real Flame" fireplace creates a warm and cosy atmosphere during cooler months.
Thoughtful design continues throughout the home. A concealed cupboard in the lounge houses the smart TV and media equipment, maintaining clean lines and visual simplicity.
The ground level also includes two bedrooms - including the main bedroom with its tranquil garden courtyard outlook and Asian-inspired ensuite featuring a pebbled floor - along with a large study, family bathroom, separate powder room, laundry and double garage.
Upstairs, an open-riser staircase leads to a second living area featuring dramatic voids on two sides, enhancing the sense of scale and light. With views across the pool and gardens, this flexible space is ideal for relaxation, entertaining, or enjoying a movie night. A short hallway connects two additional bedrooms overlooking the gardens, along with another bathroom and separate toilet.
