Luxury, contemporary masterpiece under the hammer in Clayfield

AN exquisitely renovated Queenslander showcasing a flawless modern design and catering to executive family living is set to go under the hammer at 29 Dublin Street, Clayfield.

“This home is a true architectural masterpiece located in one of Clayfield's most prestigious and family orientated streets,” said Ray White Ascot Principal Dwight Ferguson.

“This beautiful home has an efficient and sophisticated layout with the lower living area adorned with beautiful timber flooring, soaring ceilings, and capped off with glass windows and doors to flood the interiors with air and light.

“The gourmet kitchen is a culinary dream. It boasts a suite of Miele appliances including two integrated fridges and freezers, dishwasher, wine fridge, dual ovens, induction stove stop, Quasi-air exhaust, hot/cold zip tap and bench mounted filtered water tap.

“Providing further room to accommodate busy family living, a hidden butler's pantry provides extra storage and amenities with a third sink, fridge, freezer, Miele dishwasher and ample preparation and storage space.

“The perfect children's retreat, a glass framed rumpus room with glass ceiling extends off the kitchen and enjoys plenty of storage and wall-mounted TV.

“The show-stopping outdoor entertainment area features an exquisite BBQ area with hot water sink, fridge and TV, with the area overlooking the manicured backyard with fully tiled swimming pool and cubby house.

“On the upper level, beyond the open tread timber staircase, five of the six bedrooms, spacious office and second lounge, are well separated from the main living level below.

“It pays tribute to the home's original Queenslander design with VJ walls, decorative breezeways and French doors, with the floor extending onto a private front balcony capturing cooling afternoon breezes.

“A lavish retreat, the master suite enjoys soaring ceilings, walk-in robe and modern ensuite with dual vanities and triple head shower.

“The additional four bedrooms all boast built-in storage and are serviced by the luxurious main bathroom, while a sixth bedroom and third bathroom, ideal for grandparents and guests, is located downstairs off the entryway and allows for private bathroom access.”

Seb Turnbull with his wife Anna Turnbull, purchased the property in 2007 and undertook a full renovation in 2016. Their goal was to keep the cottage-like feel, as well as adding the functional elements to make it a modern-day home.

“We designed this home to feel ultra-modern and primarily to cater for the busy, young and growing family,” Mr Turnbull said.

“We wanted the living spaces to be separate, so when the family is awake they are enjoying the luxuries of the lower level, and when everyone is asleep, they’re together upstairs.

“Without doubt, the centerpiece of the house is the kitchen. We designed it specifically so the family meal can be cooked while having eyes on our children at all times.”

Mr Turnbull, who was raised in Brisbane along with his wife Anna, said Clayfield, and Dublin Street in particular, holds a very special place in their hearts.

“All of our four kids were born while we lived in Dublin Street and we’ve shared a lot of treasured moments here,” he said.

“This house has been a major part of our lives for more than a decade and it’s with a heavy heart that we’ve decided to move on to the next chapter in our lives.

“We chose Dublin Street because of its family qualities. There are six families in the street with young families and it’s just a great and safe place for kids to live and play.

“It feels very similar to what my wife and I were lucky enough to have when we were growing up.

“We hope the next family who live here take advantage of the lounge, dining and rumpus room and outdoor play areas, all of which were designed for family living. This home is perfect for more treasured family memories to be created in.”

The property will be auctioned on-site on Saturday 01 December at 11am, unless sold prior.
