Perched on a steep site in the tranquil coastal enclave of Tugun, this timeless four-bedroom residence offers a contemporary take on the classic Queenslander. Thoughtfully designed to embrace subtropical living principles, the home features a sweeping verandah that invites natural breezes and provides generous shade—perfectly suited to the local climate.
With its elevated position, the home captures cooling cross-ventilation and connects effortlessly to the surrounding landscape. A soft, earthy palette of light materials is grounded by a distinctive light green roof and gutters, adding a gentle pop of colour while complementing the natural tones of the environment.
Blending comfort, climate responsiveness, and understated style, this home offers a relaxed, coastal lifestyle grounded in tradition yet tailored for modern family living.
