Offered to the market for the first time is this solidly 1979-built brick and timber home on a fully fenced 841m2 block tucked away at the end of the street opposite Noosa National Park; one of only a few original homes left in Sunshine Beach, it is packed to the rafters with retro-charm and warmth; a home where over 45 years of cherished memories have been made.
Across a north facing single level the home comprises private courtyard at entry, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, open plan living/dining, light-filled kitchen with walk-in pantry, full length covered verandah at rear, separate laundry, and oversized double lock-up garage with workshop/storage space.
Raked Jarrah timber lined ceilings throughout, open fireplace, slate flooring in living and kitchen, gorgeous archways, direct verandah access from master bedroom, security screens, fully tiled ensuite, generous storage, and internal brick walls – are among the home’s features, and the use of brick and natural timber truly infuses wonderful warmth, which fully envelops you upon entry.
Original owners have taken meticulous care of their beloved property inside and out, you can feel the love. Their grandchildren reminisce about spending holidays there playing cards, classic catches and cricket tournaments in the garden, BBQs after a morning at the beach; so many good times, so much laughter, if walls could talk there’d be endless stories to tell.
With the national park opposite, a prized northerly aspect, and approximately eight-metres elevation, the home benefits from gentle breezes keeping the interior cool in summer, and on a crisp chilly winter’s evening, the fireplace (when lit) keeps the entire home toasty and warm. It really is a home for all seasons.
Located within walking distance to the beach (including dog-beach), village, surf club, local school, and Noosa Junction (via National Park) along with other picturesque destinations such as Alexandria Bay and Tea Tree Bay, also via the National Park; you can embrace the complete coastal lifestyle on foot or bicycle and leave the car parked at home, no traffic or parking angst. There’s also a bus stop around the corner – catch the bus to Hastings Street for lunch and then back home for an afternoon siesta in the peace and quiet of this Sunshine oasis.
This is an opportunity to invest in a slice of one of Sunshine Beach’s most coveted neighbourhoods and one of its original residences. Whether an aficionado of homes of this vintage, a renovator, or builder – there will be many interested in this property for various reasons. What will its next chapter look like? It will be determined by the successful purchaser.

LET’S TALK... Pip Covell
They say it’s not ‘what you know, but who you know’; however, in Pip Covell’s case, it’s both…plus a lot of hard work and dedication thrown in. As Principal of Sunshine Beach Real Estate for 20 years, after 10 years working as an Agent there are not many Sunshine Beach locals that Pip doesn’t either personally know or had some type of association with over the years. She has grown the property management side of the business since purchasing 20 years ago, particularly in the holiday rentals area; she employs a team of local people who share her commitment and ethos to delivering a boutique high-end service to their clients, and collectively have unsurpassed local knowledge. Pip’s passion for the Arts has never left her, and Sunshine Beach Real Estate sponsor the annual Sunshine Beach High School Arts Extravaganza, and she is patron of the “Noosa Alive” festival. As a long-term resident and business owner, Pip is heavily invested in the Sunshine Beach community, and is connected with many of its local groups, and regularly attends community events. In Pip’s own words, “I live here, I work here, I play here.”
