52/1-15 Sporting Drive, Thuringowa Central QLD 4817

There is something incredibly calming about living beside the water, and from the top floor of the highly regarded Itara & Jacana precinct, 52/1-15 Sporting Drive captures that feeling beautifully.

Positioned to enjoy sweeping views across the Ross River, this spacious two-bedroom apartment delivers an enviable combination of lifestyle, space and convenience. From the moment you step inside, the outlook immediately draws your attention through the open-plan living area and towards the oversized balcony beyond, creating a genuine connection between the interior and its peaceful riverside setting.

The heart of the apartment is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone. High ceilings and generous proportions give the space a wonderful sense of openness, while natural light pours through the surrounding windows. The adjoining dining area enjoys its own broad outlook, making the entire living space feel bright, airy and connected to the outdoors.

The kitchen is impressively proportioned and designed around a substantial central island bench, providing excellent preparation space, breakfast-bar seating and additional storage. Contemporary cabinetry, extensive bench space, a dishwasher, electric cooking and generous pantry storage combine to create a practical kitchen that works equally well for everyday living or entertaining.

Sliding glass doors open directly from the living area onto a large covered balcony, where the Ross River becomes the backdrop to everyday life. With more than enough room for a substantial outdoor setting, this is a space designed to be genuinely used - whether enjoying breakfast in the morning breeze, entertaining friends or simply sitting back at the end of the day and watching the river below.

Accommodation is equally generous. The main bedroom is particularly impressive with windows wrapping the room to capture leafy district views, along with a built-in wardrobe, air-conditioning and its own ensuite. The second bedroom is also well proportioned, complete with built-in storage and air-conditioning, and sits alongside the main bathroom.

A European-style internal laundry is cleverly incorporated near the entry, while the apartment also includes excellent storage and secure car accommodation.
Set directly beside the Ross River and its network of walking and cycling paths, the Itara & Jacana precinct places an extraordinary range of amenities close at hand. Riverway, its lagoons and Tony Ireland Stadium are nearby, while Willows Shopping Centre, Cannon Park's dining and entertainment precinct, James Cook University and Townsville University Hospital are all within easy reach.

For downsizers, professionals, investors or buyers simply wanting an easy-care home with a genuine lifestyle element, this is an opportunity where the location does much of the talking. Spacious, private and beautifully positioned above the river, 52/1-15 Sporting Drive offers a wonderfully relaxed way to experience one of Thuringowa Central's most recognisable riverside settings.
