37 Tristania Drive, Marcus Beach, Qld 4573

Only one so utterly inspiring nautically edged design statement, impossible to date and like no other on Noosa's eastern seaboard, is spliced with intimations of absolute beachfront living being the ultimate prize.

Picture endless bright blue skies, a swell of natural charms, swimming and surfing in the ocean swells of the mega-watt lustrous Coral Sea, squeaky white sand on your doorstep and sweeping 180 degree eagle's eye views which are never compromised, from Lions Head in the Noosa National Park to the north, Mooloolaba and beyond to the south.

There's something powerful about the sight and sound of water, and here it's on full show with white water vistas having starring roles. Sequestered confidently within the dune, it really is mere footsteps after the path to the foreshore. The acutely desirable beach house has retained its original contemporary status thanks to renowned architect Colin Loel, stretches across three levels all bathed in washes of natural light and is complemented by botanical-like gardens designed by gardening guru Felix Adena.

From the street admire the façade of brise soleil slats and corrugations, the wide arboured pandanus in the front garden, then push aside the statement custom timber pivot door into the foyer. Behold a bright beachy nautically inclined aesthetic with cool river stone flooring and oh-so high ceiling. Be drawn up a few easy steps where sunlight shadow dances across seemingly endless polished blackbutt flooring in the living and dining spaces of varying scale and mood. A large wood burning fireplace trimmed in Moroccan fossil marble, undoubtedly grabs everyone's attention on cold nights.

Thanks to almost disappearing doors, indoors morphs to outdoors where the expansive covered terrace with all-weather plantation shutters on the south side, views to sigh for, and the sound of waves breaking onshore, whet the appetite for entertaining whatever the reason and season.

Thinking special celebrations? Easy! The sizeable designer kitchen has a lengthy Fossil Marrone marble and stainless steel-topped island breakfast bar and open under storage, while the main benches have stainless steel topped creamy cabinetry, numerous high-end appliances, walk-in plus pull-out pantries and many other accoutrements needed by a budding Jamie Oliver to create culinary sensations inspired by the seaside views. Windows also open to a servery for the main terrace.

The lower level takes a more casual approach to lounging. It has custom wall cabinetry, kitchenette and plantation shutters while doors slide away to the north side herb and water gardens, also path to the beach.

Another door opening to a second expansive terrace with views to match, is also accessible from two sizeable bedrooms with built-in robes and shutters. There's a white mosaic-tiled bathroom with single basin cabinetry as well as a powder room. The fully equipped laundry is adjacent.

Sweet dreams are inevitable, plus why not wake up to an amazing sunrise every morning from the premier suite retreat, which is next level nautically inspired with a balcony and lustrous timber cabinetry including a chest of drawers. There's a walk-in robe and the generous ensuite design remains as fresh today as yesterday with white mosaic tiles and subtle aqua feature. Drink in those ravishing ocean views from the bathtub which has a Fossil Marrone marble surround. A study with custom desk and storage is adjacent.

"There's so much to love about the impressive residence on so many levels and how it remains absolutely relevant to today," comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Tim McSweeney. "Similarly, the magnificent garden, which stemmed from having water ostensively flowing down to the sea from the curving path seen from the terraces, plantings to attract native birds such as honeyeaters, yet meld with the nature reserve between the property and the beach.

"The exemplary design with an inspirational nautical edge has lustrous timbers, natural materials, form and functionality. It's where summery vibes linger year-round, and easy-going days are always high on the agenda. In the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, here it's possible to lose yourself completely."
