1/26 Peregian Esplanade, Peregian Beach QLD 4573

If you're thinking oceanfront, sweeping views and all the beauty to rival Noosa, strolling to the nearby village with its strong community feel, vibrant coffee culture, dog-friendly cafes and chic boutiques, plus being a 15-minute drive to Hastings Street but without the price tag, Peregian Beach has all the attributes. Add enviable lifestyle on the oceanfront and it doesn't get much better than Residence One.

The freestanding beach house, only a 100m walk to the sand, is in a boutique complex of three. It's nestled serenely and perched perfectly in an up-market pocket on Peregian Esplanade.

Look ahead and just stare. It's difficult to ignore the generosity of space in the light-filled, high ceiling-ed, open-plan living and dining areas with travertine-style tiles, two big balconies, wide deck and courtyard with a lush garden. Wherever you stand, all indoor and outdoor lines are blurred, thanks to 'disappearing' sliders, so the 180-degree Coral Sea views are maximised. They're absolutely stunning and from the generous balcony on the oceanside, you can see Sunshine Beach headland to the north on the left and Mooloolaba's Point Arkwright on the right.

Contributing to the essence of contemporary beach-style living is a custom built feature wall which has an integrated fireplace for cool nights, designer pendants over the dining table, an on-trend kitchen with breakfast bar, Miele appliances, Corian benchtops plus every accoutrement for the consummate entertainer, who has to decide where amongst all the options is the best space to host guests.

Downstairs is where dreams are made. All bedrooms have access to terraces and north-easterly ocean views. The master has an ensuite; a second is queen-size; the third is set up with custom-built cabinetry and bunks to sleep six; and both share a family-size bathroom.

"This is one of Peregian's best located luxury residences," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell. "It's directly opposite the beach, only a short walk to heart of Peregian Village and it offers a much sought after sophisticated beachside lifestyle for families or as a beachside holiday home. And let's not forget when catching waves and building sandcastles becomes tiresome, head to the pool in the complex and cool off."
