17 Panorama Ridge Road

Possibly the most compelling home by Gabriel Poole, widely regarded as one of Australia's most influential architects. An innovative yet pragmatic design that lifts the soul and enhances the joy of living in one of Queensland's most desirable locations. Perched high amongst the lush subtropical vegetation in an exclusive gated estate, Gabriel Poole has optimised the ideal NE aspect and ocean views. Cool sea breezes and warm winter sun are invited into the open plan design by the clever use of hideaway doors and clearstory louvers. From the huge covered deck to the privacy of the master bedroom there's a perfect place to pause and absorb this tranquil natural setting. 17 Panorama Ridge is a genuine architectural treasure, it's both intimate and spacious, it's brave in design but anchored in traditions, drawing from both the classic Queenslander while embracing elements of Japanese minimalism. There are 100 year old crows ash timber floors, high ceilings, abundant natural light, scale and volume that belies a modest footprint, VJ feature panel walls, shoji doors, an oversize Japanese soaking bath and the considered principles of feng shui further enhance the calm and balance of the spaces. The undisputed hero of the house is the vast covered deck where daily life naturally gravitates. This is place of long lunches and lingering dinners or mornings and afternoons spent in different spots to catch the sun or views, numerous places to settle with a drink, a book or magazine, to admire the natural beauty that abounds, the deck is not just an outdoor space, it is the heart of the home. • Designed by one Australia's most awarded architects • Thoughtful kitchen design that makes entertaining effortless • Spectacular master bedroom immersed in the subtropical setting • All day to day living on one level • Downstairs spacious guests' bedrooms, bathroom and living area • Excellent passive climate control throughout • Lovingly maintained and in immaculate condition • Discreetly located yet so close to the beach, shops and schools Sale: $1,800,000 or near offer Judy Wild 0419 798 905 Lew Pottinger 0419 788 547 Tully Thompson 0428 959 238
