See inside Brisbane’s million-dollar ‘tube house’ that’s going to auction

A truly unique property is going to auction on November 19, unless it’s snapped up prior.

Located in Indooroopilly, Brisbane, the three-bedroom home called Forest House looks like a tube on first glance, but actually consists of two pavilions linked by a floating deck.

Listed by Martin Hood of Hood Estate Agents, the abode at 9 Ormond Terrace is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of bushland reserve, and offers the future buyer tranquil forest views.

According to Domain’s September house price report, the median house price for Indooroopilly is $1,385,000, an increase of 5.9 per cent from last year.

The two-bathroom property at 9 Ormond Terrace is expected to sell around the $1.5 million mark, based on prior sales in the area.

Described as a “tranquil retreat” on the listing, it offers the best of both worlds in that it’s only a 15 minute drive to Brisbane’s bustling CBD.

The future buyer will be able to relax and unwind on the main deck, which features a mature macadamia nut tree growing through the deck. The property also attracts native birds year-round.

Interiors take on an industrial yet glamorous feel with hardwood floors, Italian terrazzo tiles, Tasmanian Oak benchtops, plywood cabinetry and French doors.

One of the bathrooms, that leads out onto a deck, offers a splash of colour in the form of bold blue tiles and gold tapware.

Another standout design element is the office with its stained glass windows and painted wood-paneled walls.

The future buyer will be able to renovate the home to their heart’s content, pending council approval. Forest House is scheduled to go to auction on November 19 at 2pm.
