17 Ann Street, Torquay QLD 4655

Refurbished homes with the character and charm as is on display with this home, so close to the foreshore are few and far between in this current Hervey Bay real estate market. So, the time is now to view this gorgeous old home that sits so close to the popular Shelly Beach in Torquay or miss out and wait a long time for the next one.
Entry to the home begins at the traditional yet versatile front porch that equals as a spot to watch the world go by. A large open foyer leads to both bedrooms and living rooms. The front master bedroom accommodates both an ensuite and a walk-in robe to meet the needs of all the modern conveniences of today's living. All other bedrooms positioned at different spots about the home, each with their own unique outlook and all inbuilt. The home is extremely deceiving in size and with a little internal wall reconfiguration offers the potential of a 5th bedroom in the existing sunroom/sitting room that is also inbuilt and adjacent to the current living room.
The bathroom is fully replaced with both a shower and a bath in place. The kitchen and dining area sits upon beautiful Fraser Island Satinay hardwood floors and is located adjacent to the fantastic covered outdoor entertainment deck overlooking the perfect Queensland backyard setting where you can relax and take in the Sunday morning papers or celebrate afternoon gatherings with friends and family when they come to visit.
Air-conditioning has been installed to all living area including the kitchen and the bedrooms have quality ceiling fans in place. All windows have been replaced and fitted with security grills so that the home can reap the benefits of cool beachside breezes both day and night.
A double lockup garage is attached to the home and offers high-clearance vehicle remote door access whilst also allowing access to the rear yard where further shedding could be built should the need arise. Furthermore, a lockup 3rd car garage or workshop is also available even as an extra storage or workshop facility. Finally, there are a set of garden sheds that are in place in the rear corner and for those regular dry times that we are becoming a customed to, there is the added benefit of a bore and pump so that irrigation will no longer be a year round concern.
The 855m2 property is fenced front and rear and feature an attractive, yet low maintenance, lawned setting with a sprinkling of gardens and shrubs throughout.
Of course, it is the home's 250m walk to arguably one of Hervey Bay's most popular and all-tide swimming beaches, Shelly Beach, that is the greatest attribute of this fine property. Morning and afternoon beach swims with the kids will become the daily norm when living at this address and is an opportunity for your family to experience what it was like for us all when growing up in Queensland before the intrusion of today's technologies.
Some of the region's most renowned restaurants are literally walking distance from this property and café breakfasts and lunches are literally at the end of the street and just a 2 minute walk away to catch up with friends.
Woolworths and Aldi just 5 minutes' drive, Stocklands only 10 minutes drive and the Urangan Boat Harbour just 8 minutes away so you will be in one of the most conveniently positioned sections of the city.
The owners of this remarkable beachside home have invested enormous time and effort in this home, however, a change in life plans means that they have a genuine desire to sell now. Priced to sell, you can ill afford to miss such an opportunity to attain your piece of beachside Queensland that requires nothing left to be spent.
