Supercool Sassy Modern & Moody Award Winning Design; Minutes to Sand

Boldly staking its claim on a wide sequestered curved corner, this cool sassy residence with serious design clout, takes its place in the sun of an enviable address right in the heart of Sunshine Beach, with toes-in-the sand and surf breaks galore in five minutes. Less if you stop or order a take-out-of-choice, at vibrant Sunshine Beach village, where it is abuzz early every morning with juice seekers, coffee aficionados and four-footers.

Note the statement Pandanus street-side as you open the timber gate, also the lush tropical gardens and bird bath beside the Himalayan sandstone pavers. Push aside the super-sized glass paned pivot door and take a deep breath, as you admire the beautiful blackbutt flooring and beyond with its tantalising vignettes.

Typical of Chris Clout's designs there is a clever sense of playfulness of the symmetrical main pavilion design. Stretched ceiling heights, led by an apex reminiscent of its Thai predecessors, draws the eye down its distinctive roofline. It separates open plan living areas into unique stunning spaces, yet juxtapositioned by a monochromatic palette, plus natural textures and materials including the apt and often arty use of timber.

Turning ordinary into something extraordinary, is the living area with eco fireplace and custom cabinetry, which thanks to disappearing high glass doors on two sides, coalesces to the luxurious expansive terrace, large curvaceous luminescent aqua pool, and a lawn area. All are fringed at the fence line by tropical plants.

Similar excellence is evident in the designer kitchen. It's a chef's dream-come-true especially with year-round entertaining options galore! There's quantum quartz-topped cabinetry including a lengthy island breakfast/bar with arty pillars and oversize ball pendants, wide rosewood wall cabinetry with huge walk-in pantry. Amongst the high-end appliances is an integrated Liebherr fridge and a selection from Smeg. On the side is custom wall cabinetry, perfect for making cocktails!

Behind the kitchen is a lounge or perhaps chill out zone for the teens, with a custom desk and a section of two-way mirror opening into the kitchen. Drinks anyone?

When it comes to dreamtime there are three possibilities.
In the north wing is the premier suite retreat with access to the rear garden and pool. The ensuite with rough-cut alabaster finger tiles above the stone-topped 2 basin fluted timber cabinetry; freestanding bathtub; shower in & outdoors. The walk in robe is commensurate in size.

Along the hall in the east wing are two bright bedrooms with built-in robes and bathroom, once again with travertine-effect flooring and rough alabaster finger tiles on the splashback to the stone-topped single basin timber cabinetry. A powder room is nearby.

The laundry with full facilities including linen storage and has access to a drying court; and the two-car garage with epoxy flooring and custom panel-lift door has dedicated storage.

"For those seeking la dolce vita there's lots to love about a private, safe, secure avantgarde residence in one of the most revered streets close to all things Sunshine Beach," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agents Rebeckah Offermann and Erica Newton.

"It not surprising this supercool sassy residence with natural materials ensuring timeless integrity, is from the award winning designer Chris Clout. The home won the Regional Design Awards also the Queensland Building Design Award, both in 2016.

"It's the aspiration of many yet rarely available, so the future value of this white-hot prized location in Sunshine Beach, considered the Holy Grail by many, will always be underpinned."
