4 Ernest Street, Tewantin, Qld 4565

Classic river-side residences, are like a coveted diamond - highly valued and much loved, especially when it's a mere 40-metres to the foreshore, and contemporary iterations with splashes of understated yet timeless retro, pay homage to its romantic architectural style. The White House is a functional and family-friendly beauty, that shines with life. 

From the quiet cul-de-sac, the residence with American-style white clapboard exterior looks captivating. And for good reason much-admired. Open the double glass-paned front doors of the wide verandah into the foyer. Look ahead and marvel at the high ceilings, architraves and deco-inspired light sconces in the generous living room. 

Thanks to French doors opening either side of the wood-burning fireplace, natural light shadow dances over the beautiful oak flooring, whilst alfresco, the predominantly undercover terrace is perfectly positioned for entertaining poolside, whatever the season. 

Awaiting sunseekers and families is a lush oasis, the north-westerly back garden. There's a nod to Palm Springs, with a giant Bahamas palm, manicured low maintenance plantings, jasmine-espaliered glass pool fencing, also a pavilion - more an outdoor room. 

The dedicated dining room on the east side, has oak flooring, distinctive conservatory-style ceiling and windows looking out to the jasmine garden, and terrace with huge potted plants, while adding a sense of theatre is a statement chandelier. 

Retro rocks in the shaker-inspired white stone-topped royal-blue cabinetry including large island breakfast bar, brass lantern pendants,  double farmhouse sinks, walk-in pantry plus store room, and high-end appliances such as a 900 Falcon gas cooktop with oven. Adjacent is a meals area, also a laundry with sink plus integrated washer and dryer. 

There are four roomy bedrooms. In the north wing on the ground level is the premier king suite with walk-in and build-in robes. The ensuite has nickel tap ware, marble mosaic tiles, marble topped two-basin classic white cabinetry, large shower plus freestanding bathtub. The second bedroom with walk-in robe bathroom has a shower and single basin cabinetry. 

Upstairs are two queen bedrooms. One opens to an undercover terrace with Noosa River views, has a walk-in robe, ensuite with single-basin cabinetry; and the other has built-in robes, two-basin cabinetry plus separate toilet and shower. 
 
"This distinctively year-round cool, heart of class is a potential investment triumph," enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Rebekah Offermann.

"It really is a much-coveted location in a cul-de-sac several streets from Noosaville, just 40 metres to the Noosa River foreshore, and obviously much sought-after given the extraordinary building activity in the neighbourhood. 

"Swim in the river, fish from a jetty, kayak to Lake Cootharaba, paddle board with the family and go boating to the Everglades. Walk to Gympie Terrace with its bevy of riverside cafes and restaurants, up-tempo bars and sassy boutiques or take a right turn to multiple offerings at the Noosa Marina – home of the Noosa Ferry. And the proximity to the Noosa Library, Noosa Leisure Centre, famous Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park, is a definite bonus."
