Bijou Riverside Belle; Heart of Gympie Terrace

Nestled in the coveted quiet heart of Gympie Terrace, which runs parallel to the dog-friendly Noosa River foreshore, also the gazebo-dotted park with walking and cycling tracks, is a riverside bijou gem that exemplifies the art of townhouse living. Seekers of a cosmopolitan lifestyle, also aficionados of waterfront dining, casual cafes, good coffee and all elements of the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, will also find solace in this popular resort.

From the walkway beside the terrace step inside, look around. Note the generous bright white, open plan living and dining areas with French oak-hued flooring, white entertainment console, black leather lounge, timber dining table and leather-covered chairs, are accented by a mirror and a big pop of colourful art, all designed to complement the monochromatic aesthetic.

Natural light aplenty invites itself in, thanks to doors on three sides which almost completely open to two totally private undercover terraces plus the large paved courtyard on the north-westerly side with swaying palms, tropical plants, and alfresco furniture for entertaining. Sun and yoga lovers, or those looking for 'me-time' will no doubt choose the south and east-side terraces.

The U-shaped kitchen with stone-topped fresh white 2-pac cabinetry including a semi-island breakfast bar and high-end appliances has every accoutrement for casual dinners or maybe sundowners by the Noosa River foreshore, which is opposite.

Upstairs are three carpeted bedrooms. Two are queen-size; the main has a walk-in robe and undercover terrace with northerly views. The second has a built-in robe; the third is a single; and all share a two-way bathroom. There is a powder room downstairs.

The Noosa Village River Retreat boutique complex has tropical gardens with a heated pool, spa and sauna, also a full-size tennis court.

"What's not to love about living the good life here," says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Melanie Primmer, adding "especially when you consider this premium location on Gympie Terrace will never lose its popularity.

"Along the river watch people fishing from the jetty-dotted foreshore, swimming in the shallow water, hiring boats for a day out to the Everglades, walking their dogs, taking their two-wheelers along the dedicated cycle ways, and hearing choruses from myriad native birdlife in the nearby trees.

"Also, many of the best cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques are on your doorstep, it is a couple of ferry stops to Hastings Street, and you can walk to nearby popular Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, also the Noosa Village shopping precinct, gym, homeware shops, medical services and so much more."
