Arriving through the classic picket fence, one has the feeling something beautiful is about to unfold. Welcome to 47 Stagpole Street, West End, a home steeped in the rich history of Townsville's yester years. A splayed staircase leads to the large verandah that will wrap around your heart, while walls of casement windows and banks of large timber louvers allow constant airflow, a characteristic of this build, creating a charming feel in this 300 sqm home.
Imagine waking up to the soft glow of sunrise spilling through the coloured glass, the scent of frangipani mingling with the delicate aroma of rare orchids in the morning breeze. You step outside, coffee in hand, greeted by the whisper of leaves from established gardens and the distant hum of sprinklers quietly nurturing a lush ground of your very own oasis.
Built around 1928 for David Jones the owner of the West End Bus Service next door at 49 Stagpole St, this home has only ever had four owners, all of whom have preserved the charm, rich history & character of the property. It's current custodian completed even further lux restoration to the stunning character home last year.
A grand hallway leads you past the four State Rooms which are classic in their features with, 16 Foot Ceilings, French doors, picture rails, and polished timber floors. All bedrooms open onto the surrounding verandah creating excellent living zones for each family member. A study off the master leads to a luxurious ensuite bathroom with handmade porcelain Italian tiles, luxurious classic fittings and the feeling of a 5-star hotel. The private sun deck completes this space from the ensuite.
This house is truly a masterpiece of thoughtful design and elegant comfort. Filled with natural light and breezes while split-system air conditioning ensures the perfect atmosphere year-round. The family bathroom is beautiful and elegant and continues the quality finish and no expense spared approach.
At the heart of the home lies a handcrafted piece by piece kitchen of dreams, featuring one of a kind cabinetry, an electric oven and high end stove, a dishwasher and a fridge. But the magic doesn't stop there, a second full size scullery kitchen equipped with a gas stove, another electric oven, dishwasher, and fridge and freezer waits to elevate your culinary mastery or homesteading dreams. With a combination of gas and induction cooking, the possibilities are endless, whether you are making a family dinner, hosting friends for a feast or creating staples to fill the pantry.
Downstairs, practicality meets convenience with an outdoor cooking area, laundry, and third lavatory, all framed by smart structural upgrades that make the home as durable as it is beautiful. Every detail has been considered, from gas hot water to cleverly designed storage cupboards that make life seamless.
The gardens are bliss, Rare plants, including a jade vine and orchids, are scattered across the property, creating an environment that feels like a curated gallery of nature's finest.
