14 Turner Avenue, Fairfield, QLD, 4103, Australia

14 Turner Ave needs to be inspected to appreciate all that is on offer. A unique, one-of-a-kind, very special home waiting for a new family to love as much as the current owners.

Built for the QLD weather, built to be resilient, with all timber used native to QLD.

One thing for sure, I doubt you will find another home like this one. From the moment you walk through the front door it feels like you are walking into a home that would be more at home in Maleny, peaceful, quirky, and full of character. A bookcase, which appears like a practical feature at the entry hides the entry to a 'speakeasy flat'. Open the bookcase to uncover a bathroom, bedroom with a built-in bed with room for a couch underneath, laundry where you could add a kitchenette, private amp; secure porch with Crim safe and with both street entry and internal entry.

As you step back inside the lower level of the home, it almost feels like you are in a boat, timber features throughout to create a resilient home. The kitchen breakfast bench is on wheels to open the space if needed, the pantry also is on wheels so can be easily repositioned, the fridge space is raised for ease of cleaning, the windows are handblown curved glass, there is provision to add a washing machine to keep the 'speakeasy flat' separate and self-sufficient. The open plan lounge and dining room has been designed to encourage a social family lifestyle, flowing effortlessly to the back entertainment deck.

Heading upstairs, the internal stairs were once external have been cleverly incorporated into the home. A further 4 bedrooms are upstairs, the 5th room is a flexible room, an ideal, light filled study or playroom, with a built-in cupboard that has been designed to create a wall for privacy when used as a bedroom. The main bedroom feels like you are sleeping in the treetops with a peaceful green aspect, built-in bed, built-in wardrobes, and shelving. The upstairs bathroom was re-built in 2019 with floor to ceiling tiles, sky-window, and handmade mirrored cupboard. The upstairs family room has been designed that you can relax and play music, read a book, or watch TV, overlooking the front deck with a lovely aspect. The built in bookshelves create a lovely feature and great storage.

The real bonus of this home is the two storey, freestanding shed with a timber staircase to the back which gives you access to your own treehouse. This upper level would make a great study, art studio or work from home space. The lower level has access via a ramp with a full width roller door, and with glass sliding doors for side access. Car enthusiasts and tradies will love the space created, a rare offering inner city. You might even convert over to a Granny flat.
