A real benefit of the home is the sense of airiness, space & light, just right for the North Queensland climate, yet it's also cosy and contained. Your privacy is assured by the lush tropical greenery which surrounds the home, and with French doors to close off the inner rooms on cool nights, it's the complete package!
The front stairs open into a semi-enclosed and lockable L shape front verandah. Currently utilised as a reading area and for casual dining, the area is set up to catch the breezes and diffused afternoon sunshine.
Polished timber floors feature throughout the home and are accentuated by the décor which features both bold and neutral tones, timber archways, casement windows and French doors – you are instantly in comfort as you enter the home.
Two of the three bedrooms have direct access to this verandah via natural timber and feature glass French doors. The home features high ceilings and T&G walls which add to the authentic feeling of the home.
A central living area is one of the highlights of the home. This room is large and has a feature archway at ceiling height. You'll be surprised by the space in this room and you'll discover that it will easily accommodate your favourite living room furniture, bookcases and more!
There are three bedrooms in total, all have ceiling fans and two are air-conditioned.
The back section of the home is dedicated to a fantastic sized kitchen (there's also room for a dining room at this end of the home) and bathroom!
The kitchen includes double sinks, loads of cupboards, a new gas stove and an authentic old wood stove adds to the appeal! There is plenty of scope and room to update as you desire, but the current setup is totally functional and modern.
The area beside the kitchen is currently used as a home office as it has loads of natural light, cool breezes and a lovely view over to the parkland at the rear. This room can easily be transformed to a dining area.
There are some built in storage cupboards in this space which can be utilised as pantry and linen cupboards.
The bathroom is a modernised heritage style.
Created in a large space, the use of Checker Plate aluminium and timber louvres offsets the centrally located clawfoot bath tub perfectly! The standalone vanity basin adds to the heritage feel.
Apart from the home itself, the other appealing aspect outdoors are the lush, established gardens which create a privacy screen from the rest of the world!
Downstairs is fully lockable and includes the laundry area and a blank canvas for you to use as you wish! There is plenty of space under the house – great for storage, garden & craft projects, and for clothes drying (especially appreciated in the wet season!).
Set on a compact 432 sq.m. fully fenced block, this home is very cosy and has gorgeous street appeal.
The convenience of the location is second to none – it is a quiet, safe, family neighbourhood – yet it's only an easy walk to Woolies, and to buses in Queens Road and Charters Towers Road when the need arises. Plus it's a 12 minute drive to The Strand, less to restaurants in South Townsville, or Flinders Mall.
