If you're looking for a home that's as individual as you are, 9 Bonavista Crescent, Doonan, is the one!
Standing at the top of the drive, looking down on 9 Bonavista Cresent Doonan, is when you'll get your first clue that this place is different... unique... and indeed it is! This home is certainly no cookie-cutter property and is now looking for new owners who'll love living here and creating memories.
Two words that spring to mind when describing the property are: "creative" and "quirky", and, in all honesty, and with due respect, if you're searching for a new build brick and tile, then this probably isn't the home for you. But if you're open-minded and long to live in a home that will make you smile every day, then this one-of-a-kind property invites your inspection. From the barn-style garage doors to the inviting front entrance area, this home piques interest and promises something different.
Step inside, and immediately you're embraced by the warmth of timber features that let you know, without a doubt, that this character-filled home has been nurtured and much loved by the current owners, who have enjoyed many happy years here. Their decision to move from the area was only made after they were tossed a curveball, and as sad as they are to be leaving, they are deservedly proud of what they've created, trusting that new owners will adore it just as much as they have.
Multiple split levels cleverly create numerous separate living spaces in the home, and large windows allow natural light to flood in, contributing to the home's overall feeling of peace and warmth. There's a sense of natural indoor-outdoor living that embraces the best of the Sunshine Coast lifestyle and is perfect for our tropical climate.
The layout of the home is ideal for families or for couples who love to entertain. The kitchen is the heart of this house and opens onto a rear deck overlooking the 12m saltwater pool. This is where you'll spend most of your time in the warmer months, relaxing with friends and family. With a distinct farm-style aesthetic, the kitchen includes all the mod-cons and features a huge central timber bench that's perfect for gathering around.
With a separate wing housing three bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs, plus a generous master suite upstairs, there's plenty of room for everyone to have their own personal space and privacy. The design of this home has many inbuilt little seating nooks and crannies, so there are ample spots to relax with a book and a cup of tea or prepare for the day with some quiet meditation and freshly squeezed juice from the homegrown spoils of your orchard.
Upstairs, the main bedroom features a personal balcony and glorious treetop views, just like being on a retreat, but you get to enjoy it forever. The owners have done a fantastic job of creating a private, peaceful, and serene space to rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul.
Here are just some of the features we love most about this home:
- Each timber door in the house is unique and has been salvaged and repurposed. The result? Quirkiness with loads of personality and charm. It just works, and works so well in this home.
- Formal living area with a fireplace for winter warmth
- Excellent positioning on the block to take advantage of natural light and cross-ventilation, making it relaxed and comfortable all year round.
- The home is set back from the road, so you'll be able to enjoy complete peace and privacy.
- The pool is perfectly positioned to make the most of our sunny Queensland days and overlooks the large multi-levelled 5808m2 yard with a variety of fruit trees and a separately fenced portion of the block has a vegetable garden, dam, and free-range chooks.
- Solar panels and solar hot water for friendly power bills
- Loads of storage space underneath the house, handy for all the extras that seem to accumulate over time, or you could consider developing and using this space as a workshop, studio, or extra living area.
- Quality constructed easy-care landscaping which has created multiple outdoor sitting places to quietly relax and listen to nature
- Commanding position in a quality million-dollar neighbourhood
- Huge block with flat areas which could accommodate a shed or even a separate granny-flat style dwelling STCA
- Secure two-car parking with internal access to the home but ample room for several other vehicles (as well as your boat!)
And of course, the convenient location places it just 15 minutes to Noosa, 5 minutes to Eumundi, 23 minutes to the airport, as well as close to shopping, the prestigious St Andrews private school and medical services.
