The secret is out. Look behind the intriguing white façade almost shrouded by palms, take the walkway to the lofty bespoke glass doors and prepare to be infatuated. If you think you've entered a gallery of idiosyncratic art with avant-garde design and contemporary brilliance, leading to an ostensibly tantalising double life, you could be right.
One moment, it's elegant and lushly glamorous, all cocktail-cool with an after-five air, while the next it casts off its best dress and becomes a warm and vital backdrop of abundant living areas on two levels, for all reasons and seasons.
Admire the clerestory-height ceilings, white VJ walls, plantations shutters and grey stone wall with niches adding whispers of Palm Springs, and how naturally attracting sunlight, bounces across endless American oak flooring.
Doors seemingly disappear and blur the lines to outdoors and a vast undercover terrace on the upper level, and a lustrous pool with stone terrace on the mid-level. Both are very private, have a backdrop of a nature reserve loved by the local birdlife and fauna, and exemplify the adage of luxury is meant for everyday living. Those with a penchant for relaxing on lounges, maybe having a barbeque with friends or drinking in the theatrics of sunset, will feel completely at home.
The designer galley-style kitchen has all the hallmarks of luxe with its lashings of stone-topped cabinetry including lengthy island breakfast bar, marble splashback, designer pendants, high-end appliances, and every accoutrement needed by a budding Jamie Oliver to create a culinary sensation.
Showcasing unprecedented levels of sophistication continue in the four carpeted bedrooms. On the upper level the oh-so-generous premier suite has a fashionista-size walk-in robe, ensuite with grey stone tiled walls, stone-topped timber cabinetry and a bathtub. Also on the level is a king bedroom with built-in robe and an ensuite. Adjoining is a media room, also a powder room. On the mid-level are two large bedrooms that open to the terrace and pool, plus a bathroom, and the lounge area has a kitchenette.
The stunning hideaway built by Lester Friend incorporates a lift from all floors including the capacious garage, car port and store areas.
This residence is 5-star class," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Rebekah Offermann. "It is designed with sensitivity to the climate, season and the natural landscape, whilst offering the very best elements of living in the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads.
"With a back drop of a nature reserve it offers the very best of timeless sophistication. On another level, you can leave the car(s) in the garage, as it is only a three-minute walk to buzzy cosmopolitan Noosa Junction with boutiques, supermarkets and a cinema complex, myriad on-trend bars, restaurants and cafes plus essential services and the transit centre. Noosa Main Beach, Hastings Street and the main entrance to Noosa National Park, with its world-famous Surfing Reserve, a walk away too. There really is so much to love."
