What more could you want?! All at a great value price, this home will suit an owner occupier with plenty of room for the family/visitors or would also make a lovely holiday home with the attractive pool a great bonus.
The home is set back and private from the quiet end of Mandalay Avenue just a short walk to the National Park walking trail or down to the shops and marina in the other direction. Enter the fully fenced yard through the gates and park undercover or on the driveway. From the carport, there is a storeroom/workshop to the right and entry to the granny flat or take the steps up to the front deck of the house which has lovely views out to the hills behind Mandalay Avenue.
The main deck and indoor/outdoor entertaining area for the home is accessed through a security screen door and is fully screened so you can keep everything completely open all day and night without any concerns about security or bugs. Bi-fold timber doors open up right across the living/dining area so you have the choice of multiple living and dining areas in a large open-plan area, all with gorgeous bush and mountain views. The high ceilings in the living room add an extra dimension and the polished wood floors a lovely warm feeling. Through in the kitchen and there's another dining area which could equally be a good kid's playroom off which there's back steps down to the back yard.
The kitchen is a great size and layout, with breakfast bar, gas stove, space for a dishwasher, ample cupboard and drawer space, timber worktops and....even a butler's pantry tucked away behind! There's a laundry and linen closets also just off the kitchen - or use the laundry downstairs in the granny flat if you prefer. Further on is the family bathroom with bath, shower, vanity and a separate toilet adjacent and then bedrooms 2 & 3 are at the front of the house and are both good sizes, with built-in-wardrobes, air-conditioning and dual louvre windows.
The master bedroom is to the rear of the house, accessed off the main living area with direct access to a private back deck overlooking the pool, walk-through-wardrobe and enuite bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet.
Downstairs, there's a tiled granny flat with bedroom, bathroom and huge living area opening onto the pool area. This could easily be let out for income to help pay the mortgage or is great visitor accommodation for older parents etc.
The garden is perfect for pets being fully fenced and a generous 1000m2, and the avid gardener will love the fact there's a bore and a hydroponic shade-house all set up. Everyone will appreciate the 5KW solar power which will keep bills to an absolute minimum.
Just at the end of the road is the Nelly Bay-Arcadia walk through the National Park over a ridge with stunning scenic views or walk down to a good selection of shops and cafes just at the bottom of Mandalay Ave, where you'll also find the primary school and marina/ferry terminal so this is a great location for all.
Magnetic Island has a permanent population of approx 2500 with numbers increasing significantly in the winter months and holiday periods, it is very popular with retirees looking for a good climate year-round (with 320 days of sunshine on average) and families looking for a relaxed outdoorsy lifestyle where the kids can go off fishing and riding their bikes without too much concern. It's easy to commute to Townsville for work with passenger and car ferries running all day everyday and the airport is nice and close to the city making the island very easily accessible from anywhere you can fly to. With two-thirds of the island National Park, 23 gorgeous beaches and bays, and a relaxed lifestyle, why wouldn't you make the move here?
