Primrose Cottage: Classic Queenslander with Hinterland Panoramas.
Along the hillside sculpted by nature's best verdant offerings on a much-coveted street, take the curved driveway wreathed by palms and the pathway set amongst the fruit trees, towering palms and bird-attracting banksias, of Primrose Cottage.
Commanding a spectacular high-set presence, signature wraparound veranda and stairs to the gatehouse-style front entry, it's easy to see why classic Queenslanders are much-loved and highly valued.
Come inside. This is a cracker of a residence, packed with vivacious personality, naturally with contemporary iterations, however it pays homage to the romantic architectural style, thanks to renowned master craftsman Fred Sormani.
Admire polished rich Tassie oak flooring throughout the multiple living areas, lofty VJ ceilings, VJ panelling from floor to the dado rail, decorative fretwork, arches, roses and cornices, also Art Deco light fitting and wood-burning fireplace.
The U-shaped kitchen with bay window looking out to the rear lawn and garden has stone topped cabinetry including semi-island breakfast bar, a wall of cabinetry with two pantries, and Ilve cooker with five gas hobs, especially for those with a penchant for teppanyaki. And whatever the reason or season there are many entertaining options including the great outdoors.
There are five generous bedrooms. Three upstairs include the premier suite with access to the verandah, walk-in robe and a fully renovated ensuite with art deco-inspired grey and white tiles. In the north wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes, a new bathroom with timber effect floor tiles, a freestanding bathtub and white stone/basin-topped cabinetry. There's an adjoining separate toilet and a laundry
On the lower level are two bedrooms, bathroom, two living areas, studio space plus an undercover store. A pathway leads to the luminescent pool and a magnificent stand of silver Madagascan bismarckia palms.
Look beyond the lawn area, note established shrubs, fruit trees such as mango, guava, bananas, lemon, feijoa, kaffir lime and pawpaw, and how the land fans into a kind of nature reserve. Hear owls, see wallabies, black cockatoos, galas, lorikeets and king parrots, who call it home. Of course, star gazers will think it's bliss as they ogle the clear night sky.
"Primrose Cottage with Hinterland panoramas, celebrates the graciousness of a classic Queenslander," says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Erica Newton.
"With easy maintenance, nature reserve-like gardens, it blends perfectly into the natural terrain, yet it is a place in which, somewhere between the sea spray of Noosa Main Beach 18-minutes away, and the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, it is possible to lose yourself completely."
