5/81 HASTINGS STREET, NOOSA HEADS

Peering out from this world-class apartment, the luminous quality of the ocean is matched by the interior, with tall walls of glass across the width of the apartment, out to multiple entertaining and leisure options and multi-million-dollar views.

Furniture such as natural linen-covered, sink-into sofas and chairs, and the dining table with outstanding Italian glass pendants, are all imported from the upscale California-based RH company. The long galley kitchen with island, massive void and surfboard artwork, walk-in pantry, and Corian-topped glass and timber cabinetry, is a similar story of provenance and class, this time hand crafted by renowned Brisbane-based Wyer + Craw.

On the upper level is the king master suite with long headboard in blackbutt timber with side drawers. Change the ceiling-to-floor window in the ensuite from clear to transparent with the flick of a switch. The terrace with Markilux awning affords shady sundowners, with northerly views to Little Cove and First Point. Along the hallway adorned with dynamic framed corals, and works by Slim Aarons, are two very generous bedrooms with ensuites, commensurate in style and quality with the overall apartment aesthetic. One bedroom has a terrace and one ensuite has a bath.

Downstairs is the recent addition of a very large space, with a queen bed, walk-in robe, two retractable beds that appear from a wall of drawers, gym equipment, a kitchenette, bathroom, and terrace and balcony looking into the rainforest. The apartment has a total area of 412sqm, including a single secure garage with mezzanine storage, water and power. Access is via lift and inclinator leading directly to the front door.

The house features travertine throughout, with kitchens, bathrooms, cupboards and drawers boasting hand-crafted joinery by Wyer + Craw in Brisbane. The house has gas-lift windows, except in the master suite. The laundry has a Miele washer and dryer and a Dyson vacuum cleaner, and the terrace also has a Weber barbecue. The house also features ducted aircon, fans, and plantation shutters.
