Dual-dwelling opportunity in the heart of West End. Two homes, large shed, separate caravan/boat storage, pool + art studio.
Conveniently positioned in one of West End's most sought-after areas, 38 Ralston Street offers the very best of relaxed North Queensland living all just minutes from hospitals, schools, local shops and The Strand.
Sitting on a generous 912sqm block, this fully renovated, 3-bed, 2-bath 1930's miner's cottage pairs high-quality finishes with classic Queenslander touches throughout. Complemented by an immaculately finished 6m in-ground pool, renovated art studio/office/cubby and above-ground vegetable gardens. It oozes quaint character and charm without compromising on all the modern luxuries.
Accompanying the primary dwelling is a generously sized 1-bed, 1-bath, fully equipped granny flat. Large enough to make it a 2-bed home, this spacious unit is currently used as a combined photography studio, home office and guest house and poses an ideal opportunity for rental income or extended family living. Additionally, an 8 x 3.5m carport with 3.4m entry height and an impressive 6 x 8m shed sit toward the rear of the property, providing ample space for caravan, boat, and vehicle storage.
