If you aspire to living the good life in a smart north-easterly-facing apartment just 100 metres to the foreshore, with Noosa River views and numerous tempting eateries on your doorstep, a slice of paradise awaits. Step inside. Be immediately impressed how bright natural light invites itself in via glass sliders, spills in a dappled kind of way over the rich timber flooring, and how past the dining area, eyes are drawn beyond the balcony to various aspects of the Noosa River and landscaped shoreline. The generous main living space has plantation shutters and opens out in a seamless fashion on the east side to the main covered balcony, obviously designed size-wise for lunches alfresco. Look in the northerly direction and admire the pelican's eye view of the Noosa River stretching to the river mouth. Cool summer breezes are naturally a bonus, as are choruses from myriad native birdlife in the nearby trees, whilst enjoying sundowners. The master bedroom, also in the east wing, has louvred windows looking out to palms, a roomy walk-in robe and an over-generous ensuite with long vanity unit. The C-shaped kitchen has everything an entertainer needs including a 4-burner gas cooktop, plentiful storage and a custom-built timber and glass cabinet under the servery/breakfast bar. In the west wing are two large bedrooms with plantation shutters and built-in robes, a family-size bathroom with bathtub, laundry with storage and a linen cupboard. On the ground floor, near the front entrance, is a secure exclusive-use storage room for say beach chairs and fishing gear, plus the immense height of the ceiling in the garage allows for storage racks suitable for stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and longboards. In the rear garden, for use by residents of the small complex, is a pool plus a cabana and outdoor shower. "The location so close to Gympie Terrace, aka Noosa River's 'golden mile' really is second to none," explained Tom Offermann agent Robyn Reid, who has slated the apartment for auction on Saturday 29 May 2021. "Achieving a strong sense of place is the location's harmonious connection to outdoors. Gympie Terrace runs parallel to the dog-friendly Noosa River foreshore and gazebo-dotted park where fishing, boating, and swimming in the shallow water are just a few favourite pastimes. Some of the best cafes, bars, restaurants, and boutiques are nearby. It's a couple of ferry stops to Hastings Street, and you can walk to the popular Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, also essential services and the Noosa Village shopping centre."
