Living room studio

By JOLENE OGLE

Located on elevated Panorama Drive and with views that will take the breath away is Jan and Jennie King’s home – the latest abode to feature on Channel 7’s Australia’s Best Houses.
Due to air on 14 June, Australia’s Best Houses will showcase number 105 Panorama Drive and all the beauty that is contained inside the amazing home.
The couple’s home is both inspiring and tranquil with warm and inviting decor and design elements that quickly puts visitors at ease.
Jan and Jennie said it was love at first sight when they viewed the home at an open house.
“We were looking for a home in the Hinterland. We wanted something bigger,” Jennie said.
“We came for a look (at number 105) and just fell in love with it.”
Among their favourite features of the home, the Kings’ list the purpose-built, soundproof home theatre, plus the light-filled living spaces as their favourite places to relax.
“We love this home because it is classy, solid built and we love the light,” Jennie said.
“We like that as you walk through every room, you have a view. It’s very tranquil here. It’s secluded and it’s private but still so close to Noosa.”
And then there is the view. A long-line vista from the sandy hills of Noosa North Shore to Noosa Heads and down to Peregian Beach; the view from the covered balconies of number 105 are simply stunning.
And the Kings have made the most of the amazing outlook at every opportunity with large mirrors and strategically placed windows at the entrance of the home to frame the view, while the mirrors are repeated downstairs so that every room you move through captures the stunning vista.
When Jan and Jennie found out their home was to feature on Australia’s Best Houses they said they were shocked.
“We were stunned,” Jennie said.
“We were very surprised but we were so excited and we felt honoured. You don’t get opportunities like this every day.”
Number 105 is currently on the market and Fiona Winter of Fiona Winter Realty said the filming of the property is a great opportunity for the Kings.
“This is something completely different for them,” she said.
“Gary (Australia’s Best Houses host) had in-depth conversations with Jennie and Jan and found out a lot of information about the property and owners.”
This isn’t the first home Fiona has marketed a property that has also featured on a television show with a property being selected to star on the Lifestyle channel’s Location, Location, Location program.
Australia’s Best Houses presenter Gary Tackle and his film crew spent more than two hours touring the Kings’ home and finding out what makes their home so unique.
Australia’s Best Houses featuring Number 105 Panorama Drive, Doonan, will air on the 7Two network, Sunday 14 June from 10.30pm to 11pm.
