FOR less than the price of a cramped Sydney CBD apartment, buyers can secure this architect-designed penthouse on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast.
Designed by award-winning Noosa architect Frank Macchia, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom multi level home at 9/14 Jubilee Esplanade, Point Arkwright is on the market for offers over $3 million.
Prominent Sydney-based businessman Ron Scott managed to seamlessly run Creative By Design, the national storage, furnishing and decorating franchise group that includes Creative Wardrobe Company and Creative By Design, from this beachside pad.
Mr Scott’s wife Lynn has been just as successful in her business ventures, winning a Telstra Business Awards Small Business award and chairing the NSW Small Business Development Corporation.
“The easiest decision was buying on the Sunshine Coast; it doesn’t have the high-rises of the Gold Coast but it has all the benefits of Queensland’s year-round sun and warmth,” Mr Scott said.
“Perhaps even better is that it doesn’t have Sydney’s traffic and congestion; you can drive anywhere in less time than it takes to drive across one or two suburbs in Sydney. But having lived within metres of a beach just outside of Sydney, it was essential that we still had that environment with views. Also having worked in the design industry for many years, it had to be a design-focused and built home.”
The stunning ‘Ikon’ complex is in a beachfront pocket of Point Arkwright, which is a blue-chip location with only a handful of residents.
“Owning a national franchise business, we found it easy to control it from Ikon and when face-to-face meetings and franchise visits were necessary, being only ten minutes from the airport meant we lost nothing by being out of Sydney,” Mr Scott said.
“So we had all the pluses and haven’t yet found any negatives being away from the major cities.”
The apartment includes an office, open-plan living and dining, a state-of-the-art galley kitchen, east-facing balcony at the front, private balconies off the rear rooms, a courtyard, large rooftop terrace, exclusive inground swimming pool, a double garage and lift access.
It has been an easy apartment to look after, with minimal maintenance necessary by comparison to our previous beachside home,” Mr Scott said.
“It’s close to a beach where you can swim all year, and has the most amazing 360 degree views from the penthouse private swimming pool.”
Ray White Peregian principal Robbie Neller described the property as a “beachfront masterpiece”.
“This is most likely the best penthouse on the Sunshine Coast,” Mr Neller said.
“The northerly ocean views from Coolum to Noosa are unparalleled, and the residence offers privacy like no property in its class.”
The Scotts have a strong affinity for the area and will remain local, relocating to nearby acreage so they can keep horses.
