32 Banfield Pl, Maroochydore QLD 4558

Set on a north-facing direct waterfront position in the desired Sunshine Cove, this four-bedroom residence has been designed around one simple idea, bring the water and light in. From the moment you step inside the layout opens itself entirely to the canal, blurring the line between living space and water's edge.

Downstairs is where this home lives. Bifold doors fold away entirely and the living area spills onto the outdoors, no line between the two just one continuous space. The kitchen does the same, opening wide through its own bifold windows so cooking, entertaining and swimming all happen together. Beyond that, the water. Just a few steps and you're in, kayak at sunrise, fishing line in before breakfast whatever the morning calls for. Running the full length of the home, an atrium that's doing double duty, serving as breezeway by day while also storage cleverly tucked away out of sight.

Upstairs, the master suite claims the finest position in the house on the northern front. Set directly on the waterfront with uninterrupted canal views, where a walk-through robe leads into a fully appointed ensuite. Separated by a large upstairs lounge, the three further bedrooms are generous in scale and finish, sharing a beautifully appointed second bathroom. Out on the upstairs balcony the water stretches out before you, framed by morning sun and the north-facing breeze that flows through the entire level.
