42 Lowry Street, Peregian Beach, QLD 4573

What's not to love about an inspirational oasis of calm, created with

lashings of energy-smart elements, cleverly designed by Nathan Kenzler

to preserve and celebrate the existing lush natural vegetation, resulting in

the ultimate modern bush to beach house, 5-minutes to squeaky-white

sand and popular surf breaks.

Note the front garden with bird-attracting banksias, pandanus, frangipani

and strategically placed granite boulders fringing pavers to the entrance.

Open the massive statement timber pivot door into the wide gallery-like

hallway, and all the hallmarks of the good life become clear.

Admire a semi-Japanese-style flow, lofty raked ceilings, burnished

concrete flooring and a honed raw look throughout including beachy-light

block walls of individual character made from recycled concrete, and used

so effectively with complementary natural materials such as timber.

Fanning out in a captivating fashion is the expansive living and dining

area with disappearing doors on three sides, coalescing with the

undercover jarrah terraces which surround the residence almost entirely.

Similarly engaging with the landscaped primarily north-facing garden are

established tropical plantings, also mango, lime, mandarin and tangelo

trees.

Filtered shadows appear to dance across the richly-hued polished concrete

in the centre and very heart of the residence. There's a very calming

almost Zen-like ambience, yet a sense of drama in the variation of spaces

indoors and out, creating joyful moments and numerous entertaining

options for family and friends, whatever the reason or season.

Design and high-end functionality culminate in the L-shaped kitchen.

Custom honed concrete benches have dark timber cabinetry including a

massive island breakfast bar and a pantry. The splashback is stainless

steel, and the latest high-end appliances include AEG oven and an

induction cooktop, Neff dishwasher and Liebherr double fridge. An

entertainer's dream come true, no less!

Natural casual elegance and timeless style continues in the three extra

roomy bedrooms which open to the southside's undercover terrace and

garden, plus all have glass-fronted, cavity sliding doors. The premier suite

has a bathroom ensuite with timber and long basin-topped cabinetry also

a timber shelf, and the sizeable shower with mosaic-look wall tiles in

pastel grey shades, opens to southside undercover terrace. Two bedrooms

share a bathroom which has an outdoor yet undercover shower. Nothing

quite like feeling as though you are communing with nature from the

semi-security of indoors!

The residence, completed in 2022, comes with solar, battery storage

water tank, and "the concrete blocks were intended?to give a solid base

feel, also anchor the beachy light walls and roof into the natural shape of

the land,' explains designer Nathan Kenzler. "Concrete blocks have great

thermal mass, and the design is intended to be like living with nature, aka

a micro climate within the native trees. Today newer strict regulations

demanded?by government for energy efficiency; would make a design like

this extremely difficult to achieve."

"This energy smart natural bush to beach house, is the true essence of

modern living," explain Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and

Tracy Russell.

Its overall character is naturally charming, permeable, translucent yet

transparent, vertical design elements echo its surrounds and an

immediate connection from indoors to out. The location is much sought-

after, being so close to the beach and popular surf breaks, Noosa National

Park, the boutiques, dining, and caf? heart of vibrant Peregian Village,

also proximity to Sunshine Beach and Noosa Main Beach.
