Description
Industrial-Inspired, Out of the Box River House on Gympie Terrace
It's evocative, out of the box in more ways than one, filled with wonderful
surprises and boasts a privileged address, however sensuality and warmth
have grounded this mindful residence that keeps on giving with oversized
everything and is mere moments to the Noosa River foreshore.
It is intriguing from the street and has a bold idyllically north-facing
facade. Open the gate and behind the public persona is a pretty-as-a-
picture garden with statement pandanus, banksias, pavers, mondo grass
and the moniker of landscaper John Hope.
Inside be immediately mesmerised by the polished concrete entry, the
high-ceilinged hallway and the stairwell, all teasing with idiosyncratic art
and design cues, juxta-positioned against creative vision and
contemporary brilliance from designer Georgina Price, featuring myriad
spaces all exuding personality.
Reminiscent somewhat of an art gallery, admire the evocative and
massive open plan living with fireplace, and dining spaces, which thanks
to the high-pitched ceiling and a northerly aspect, attracts natural light
which shadow dances across endless beautiful French oak floors.
Commensurate in size with seamless connectivity is the alfresco terrace
with louvres and easy-breezy wide views of the gazebo-dotted park and
and the shadows of a bright orange orb giving a glistening glow to the
Noosa River at sunset. Indoors or out, whatever the reason or season,
entertaining options are numerous.
Check out the big-hearted galley kitchen, featuring stone-topped
cabinetry including the long wide island breakfast bar and bench with
stainless steel splashback, the antique pendant and high-end appliances
including a six-burner gas cooktop. Those with a penchant for culinary
creations and entertaining, will be totally in their element.
East-side on this level is the premier king suite with custom cabinetry,
wispy silver-grey sheers and views over the pool, plus walk-in robe and
white tiled ensuite with stone-topped timber cabinetry.
In addition, there's a powder room and a mezzanine walkway leads to a
specially designed wing with an office, bedroom with built-in robe plus a
bathroom.
There are five bedrooms in total. Downstairs are three with built-in robes
and a desk as well as a lounge/leisure space which all access two east-
side undercover terraces. The bright white tiled bathroom with stone-
topped cabinetry has a free-standing bathtub.
Ground level of the dedicated wing has an undercover terrace and two
(yes two) capacious studio or leisure spaces which open on the eastern
side and are the length of the luminescent pool and sun terrace. Privacy
prevails in the Santa Fe-style rear garden, fringed by lillypillies on the
eastern boundary.
"With striking views and dedicated design-savvy leisure and studio
spaces, indoors, outdoors and poolside, everything is mightily classy,"
enthuse Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh .
"It's ovations for living an exceptional life in the first-class location of
Gympie Terrace which will never lose its popularity. It runs parallel to the
dog-friendly Noosa River foreshore and gazebo-dotted park where family
barbeques, fishing, boating, and swimming in the shallow water, are just
a few favourite pastimes.
"Some of the best cafes, bars, restaurants, and boutiques are on your
doorstep, it's a couple of ferry stops to Hastings Street, you can walk to
popular Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, also to the Noosa Leisure Centre,
essential services, gym and the Noosa Village shopping precinct."
