Bask in the notion of blue-sky beachy days, balmy nights tinged with vitamin sea, year-round summer tranquility, and mere minutes to squeaky white sand and surf breaks. This is a stellar ray on Sunshine.
Located in a quiet cul de sac amongst leafy natural surrounds, mature grass trees, dieffenbachias, palms and pandanus make a bold statement beside pavers to the front entry.
Open the statement timber door, be drawn by a drenching of natural light, from upstairs via a foyer void. The sparkling premium quality high-ceilinged beach house was designed to maximise the Coral Sea views, also capture cool salty breezes by blurring the line between indoors and outdoors, whatever the aspect.
Encapsulating the essence of loving life are multiple sand-hued tiled living spaces, which run the length of the residence and feature banks of louvres, panes and walls of disappearing doors at either end.
From the expansive north-east-facing terrace enjoy picture-perfect turquoise water and white-tipped waves of the Coral Sea, which stretches to Coolum while right out front, in season are pods of whales heading north or south, and often paragliders catching the wind. Plus, with current architect designed, approved plans for a rooftop terrace, take your ocean-gazing to the next level.
Also attracting those cool salty breezes, plus verdant views is the south-west facing terrace. Whichever way you turn, whatever the season, and who needs a reason, is this residence nirvana for entertaining?
Enthusiastic culinary creators will no doubt be inspired by the galley-style kitchen with a sea view, black granite-topped cabinetry including island breakfast bar.
Entertaining nirvana is also replicated downstairs, albeit of the more casual kind. A serious wet bar is central to the living spaces with its funky custom wall of mirror-backed glass cabinetry, and thanks to disappearing doors, living spaces morph into the great outdoors and a tiled terrace, lawn, tropical greenery, timber deck and taking centre stage, a wood-fired pizza oven.
There are four slumber zones. Upstairs, sleep mode is easy accompanied by the gentle sound of surf in the premier suite retreat which has a sizeable walk-in robe, ensuite with charcoal wall tiles, and black granite-topped cabinetry. It also has access to the main terrace for a morning cuppa - perhaps. Another bedroom has a robe and a bathroom is nearby.
Downstairs are two bedrooms with robes plus bathroom styled as per the ensuite. For those with an entrepreneurial spirit, there's a serious office with custom timber-topped desk and garden view, plus internal double doors as well as sliders to terrace.
"Wake up to the sound of the surf, grab the board and be on the beach in three minutes," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Rebekah Offermann. "Sunshine Beach with its laidback lifestyle, is a premium location that will never lose popularity, and properties near the beach with privacy and serenity will always be in high demand for investment purposes.
"Enjoy the amenable sub-tropical climate, also anonymity at the beach or nearby vibrant Sunshine Beach village, with its bars, eateries and surf club, also where the local café society preserves the 'barefoot if you like' attitude."
"Let the good times roll, Sunshine Beach has never looked so good."
