5 Dillon Street, Bungalow QLD 4870

The Story on this one:

Offered for sale for the first time in 18 years, this lovingly updated Queenslander saw over a dozen inspections in the first week and went Under Contract in less than 7 days. Setting a new STREET RECORD for a home on Dillon Street, we wish both buyer and seller all the best in their next endeavours.


Cute as a button and tucked away in a private position, this high-set queenslander style home has been updated with care and offers so very much to love on the city fringe.

Stepping through the front door, polished timber floors and an expanse of windows give a great feel, open plan living and dining flowing through between front patio to the covered rear timber deck.

All three bedrooms are air-conditioned, with built-in-robes (so rare in queenslanders!) and plenty of room. The main bathroom is a stunner, recently renovated with walk-in shower, floating vanity and mirrored overhead cabinetry.

The central kitchen is just 2 years old, with soft close cabinetry, glass splashback, ample bench and cupboard space and high quality appliances including induction cooktop and side by side double door fridge. Positioned between living room and the rear timber deck, its a pleasure to serve from (or just settle in and graze) and is ideal when you want to cook and stay in the conversation.

Passing through rear timber bi-folds, you can really relax once you get to the rear timber deck, which is covered for all-weather use and overlooks the manicured rear lawns and established gardens.

Downstairs, there is secure storage for one vehicle, as well as an open multi-use space, laundry, full bathroom and extra storage/office/ rumpus room with air-conditionining.

Outside, established gardens frame the home front and back, with the rear yard offering good usable space with tropical fruits in neat (irrigated) garden beds - mandarin, tahitian lime and kaffir lime trees. Fully fenced, there is a double rear gate as well, providing access to the backyard via a service road (no rear neighbours!) with plenty of room for a pool or shed should you wish.

A deceptively quiet street, there is no through traffic, plenty of room for parking and mere minutes to major shopping and the Cairns CBD. A beloved home for over a decade, its time for new owners to settle in and enjoy this little piece of paradise.
