This distinctive home is among the more unique Queenslanders in Townsville, it is very private from the street and has been renovated over time to include all of the modern conveniences.
The original home dates back to the 1940s in its current location (when it was moved here from Charters Towers), but you'll find the finish and renovations are respectful and modern.
It includes all of the appealing features of a traditional Queenslander - high ceilings, timber floors, louvres and casements, silky oak doors, pressed metal ceilings, but it has the benefit of modern conveniences such as extra bathrooms, updated kitchen, solar panels, insulation, inground pool and more!
Fully air-conditioned and well presented, the home features 3 bedrooms plus a study, and an extra guest room downstairs, polished timber floors, high ceilings, 3 separate living and dining areas, and 3 bathrooms.
The kitchen is spacious and features generous storage and timber benchtops, high ceilings, dishwasher, gas stove and loads of room.
It overlooks a stunning dining area with extensive views over the back garden and pool. The timber louvres allow light and fresh air to flow through the room (fully screened).
In addition, the home has a very private well treed back yard and a high clearance double carport at the side of the home.
There are 2 entry points to the front yard (via the driveway and also a single pedestrian gate) to a path that leads to the front timber staircase.
This staircase takes you up to the magnificent L shape verandah that wraps around the side of the home and connects to the kitchen.
Silky oak French doors open the central lounge room directly onto this verandah and the breezes flow freely.
The home is fully air conditioned and has glorious high ceilings and timber floors.
There are 3 bedrooms on the upper level, all are large and well spread out.
The master bedroom has its own ensuite, and the remaining 2 bedrooms are separated by a spacious activity room, which could be used as a study, rumpus or extra lounge room.
The main bathroom is nearby and features a Heritage look. It has a clawfoot bath, timber vanity with marble top, separate shower and a toilet. The room is flooded with natural light via a ceiling skylight.
The main lounge room can easily accommodate a large lounge suite and you'll feel right at home in this stunning room!
As you leave the main lounge you pass a separate study on the left, and, on the right you will find the magnificent 'heart of the home' - the previously mentioned kitchen and dining space.
A hall leads further along to the back door, past the internal laundry.
Downstairs you'll find plenty of storerooms and space, plus there are guest facilities which include a bathroom, guest room and extra rumpus room.
The back yard is lush and thoughtfully planted to attract birds and butterflies. It is drought resistant from many years of mulching and care and is perfect for the Townsville environment.
There's even a house for your chooks!
The quarter acre block is fully fenced, has some irrigation, high clearance undercover accommodation for 2 vehicles.
And don't forget that 5 kW solar panel system, which will save you money on your power bills!
There is not much more you could want in a home - this one offers it all!
In addition to being a beautiful home with loads of features to enjoy, the location of the property is second to none and central to all you could want, especially if you love to frequent The Strand and be a close drive to the city, and not far from major shopping centres, suburban shops, medical facilities and public transport options.
