Last Listing description (February 2024)

Please see our television quality video and 3d tour to really get a sense of what living in this house is really like!

This house has everything. Everything you say? Well Yes… It's got just about everything. It's got class, it's got tons of charm, it's got a great location close to the city, and it's even got a separate laundry for both upstairs and downstairs. Been looking for a house for your huge family? You'll appreciate that there are two full kitchens here. Having a 966sqm block means there's plenty of room for the largest pool area and a huge grassy lawn and a shed with rear alleyway access. Honestly? This is my favourite Queenslander I've ever sold.

Why don't we start with the traditional Queenslander upstairs, and then we will move to the fully self contained 2 bedroom unit downstairs, and then we will talk about the grounds.

Shiplapped ceilings, hardwood floors, character features and casement windows make this updated Queenslander feel cosy, traditional and like home. On the main floor you will find a large family living room which is surrounded by 3 bedrooms and a study. This house was designed to capture prevailing breezes which flow off of nearby Cleveland bay year-round.. But all bedrooms are air conditioned for those hot summer nights. The primary suite has something amazing… storage! Here you'll find a large walk-in wardrobe and plenty of space for a king-sized bed and end tables.

We think you'll probably dine outside on the deck, poolside by the outdoor kitchen, or maybe on the second deck at the end of the pool area. If, however, you're having a formal dinner, there is plenty of space for a large family table in the separate dining room. The main kitchen is large enough to service the largest of families. Fussy chefs will appreciate the genuine hardwood cabinets and freestanding 5 burner gas stove.

The family bathroom upstairs has a dual vanity for busy mornings and a separate tub for self care Sundays. There's also a large shower and a laundry chute.

You can't have a grand Queenslander without a beautiful hardwood deck and this one overlooks the gorgeous yard which is filled with mature tropical plants. Large trees shade this spot from the western sun. We think you'll spend many pleasant evenings here.

The ground floor is perfect for those with elderly relatives that need their own space. If mum and dad want to live with you, here you'll find a fully-kitted out 2 bedroom home with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Both bedrooms have large built-in wardrobes and split system air conditioning. Modern tiles and current fixtures and fittings give this space a sleek, updated look.

Also, downstairs is a full bathroom, ideal for when you are having pool parties which includes a full sized shower. In addition there is a "gym room" with split system air and separate entry which would make an excellent office for those who work from home and don't want clients trekking through the house. This room was fitted by previous owners as a hair salon so if that's your business, taps are in place on the walls. Perhaps the best feature of this amazing property is the outdoor entertaining area inside the gate of the enormous pool. Because the barbeque and dining area is set poolside, you don't have to be separated from the kids to entertain. This entire area is shaded by shade sails so it's great to use any time of day. The built-in barbeque is set in a Kwila bench and ready for your summer party. Within the pool area you'll also find a second deck for entertaining.

Every big property needs a good shed and there's heaps of room to store your wood turning equipment, camping gear, tinny and mowers here. This shed features direct access from the back alley so it's easy to store vehicles here in the rear part of the 966sqm block. You'll find that the shed includes lights and power, perfect for your favourite handy man or woman.

The location is fantastic. You're just far away enough from the stadium that you won't hear the crowd… but you can walk there on game day. Townsville largest employers are only a 15 minute drive away at the most. Townsville's entertainment precincts and the beaches of the strand are less than 5 minutes drive away.

Be quick! Renovated Queenslanders with facilities for two families to live in / great rental return are so hard to find. There's nothing to do but move in and enjoy this beautiful home. Contact Lisa for a private viewing or we will see you at the open homes.
