Positioned forward on the block, with a wide frontage and white picket fence facing the street, 44 Turin is an elevated and flood free, lightly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage in central West End, with 2-3 car parking off street and a large back yard. The house has glimpses of the city skyline and with further renovation and lifting could take advantage of more sweeping city views.
During their tenure, the current owners have updated the home, creating 3 bedrooms plus a sleepout and office nook upstairs, opening out to a large upper balcony with city glimpses. Downstairs is the living space, with a Scandanavian inspired kitchen and adjoining living space opening up to the huge flat back yard, grassed and fully fenced for maximum play amenity for children and animals.
An internal timber staircase links the two levels of the house. The lower level has polished concrete under foot plus light timber look flooring in the kitchen. This zone is kept cool or warm with a large airconditioning unit in the open plan living area.
The kitchen has plenty of work space with a central bench and breakfast bar, and additional stainless bench tops. There is a dishwasher, microwave nook, electric stove and ample room for a large refrigerator. The bathroom on this level has a bath, shower, vanity and toilet. A large laundry and under stair storage plus linen closet is adjoining, with easy access to the rear garden with its cubby house for the kids and a good sized garden shed.
The upper level bedrooms all have airconditioning, ceiling fans and built-in cupboards. Bathrooms up and downstairs have been renovated with stylish modern features. The upper level bathroom has a spacious walk-in shower, toilet and basin with mirror.
Louvres on the enclosed front verandah open up to let the breezes flow through. Flooring upstairs is a dark timber towards the front of the house and a charcoal grey matching hue carpet in the master bedroom and office space. Security mesh offers extra peace of mind and stylish white timber venetians adorn the windows throughout the house. Some windows have newly installed curtains. Walls are painted a crisp white.
This cottage is West End gold. It is elevated, flood free, centrally located, close walking distance to West End State School, and within Brisbane State High School catchment. The big back yard and warm local community enhances the home as a wonderful haven for family life. The property is equally suited for convenience for a professional couple or singles, and also offers a great opportunity for a rental investment in the strongly growing Brisbane property market.
44 Turin is located in the middle of West End's Boundary, Vulture and Hardgrave Road shopping and restaurant precincts and close to one of the recently named world's best streets, Montague Road (according to global entertainment and hospitality magazine, Time Out) with its markets, shopping centres, restaurants, arts facilities and more.
Leading private schools including Somerville House and St Laurence's College are nearby. The house is also located in the midst of several tertiary institutions including the University of Queensland, TAFE, QUT and others. Queensland's Arts epicentre at South Bank and West End is close by, as is South Bank Parklands and Brisbane River on three sides with its walking and cycling paths.
