You'd be forgiven for missing this unique home entirely if you walked past it at night, particularly given the tranquil retreat is hidden away in a lush bushland reserve. 

But it's well worth seeking out and stepping foot inside the property - which boasts a stunning, modern interior that completes its quirky exterior. 

The three-bedroom and two-bathroom abode in the region of Indooroopilly, west of Brisbane, has been carefully crafted by owners Ian and Kylie Weir to resemble a calming retreat - complete with all the mod cons.

The three-bedroom and two-bathroom abode in the region of Indooroopilly, west of Brisbane, has been carefully crafted by owners Ian and Kylie Weir after they decided to purchase it mere moments after stepping onto the property

Mr Weir knew the original seller of the house, who was famed architect Brit Andresen, and was familiar with her use of 'expressed Australian hardwood timber and the poetics of timber construction'.

Homely touches, like Ms Andresen's inclusion of a pole in the kitchen to mark her son's height on, were kept in place when the Weir's moved in - and they hope the new tenants will do the same in the future, realestate.com.au reported.

But they did renovate other portions of the design to give it a more family-friendly feeling.

'We modernised it with new appliances, making it more liveable for families, and replaced the hardwoods like for like… as well as painting it,' Mr Weir told the publication.

But otherwise the juxtapositioning of vertical and horizontal timber lines - interspersed with corrugated iron - has been kept much the same.

A light natural wood gives each room a breathable ambience and the inclusion of so many windows makes great use of the natural light.

The luxury outdoor shower, set on blue tiles, stands right next to the deck - but foldaway doors can give you privacy if you desire it

While it may have a slight 'jungle' vibe from the facade the new owners won't be living with the bare necessities by any means.

Meanwhile the kitchen is extremely spacious with plenty of room to prepare a feast or Christmas lunch.

It will be available at auction on Saturday, February 2, at 2pm.
