Sorry - SOLD!

If you are familiar with the history of Olympus Crescent, you will likely have heard of Jill, Duchess of Hamilton. 'Hamilton House', a traditional two storey Queenslander, was moved to Magnetic Island from the mainland in 1992 by the Duchess and she resided here for several years. 

Although rebuilt to modern construction standards, Hamilton House retains the authentic characteristics of period Queenslanders. Everywhere you look in this home will inspire admiration for those who appreciate these special features, from the ornate ceiling roses and wrought ironwork, tongue and groove walls and period double doors leading to wide verandahs and the Juliette balcony. 

Olympus Crescent, known as the dress circle of Arcadia, is always in demand due to its close proximity to Alma Bay, a beautiful sandy cove where you can swim, dive or snorkel year round. The home itself is tucked up against the National Park, providing seclusion, peace and privacy. The backdrop is quintessential island - granite boulders and hoop pines - whilst the view from the front is a birds eye view over the treetops, to the hills of the island and even water glimpses of Nelly Bay. 

The entry to the home starts with a greeting from a marble bust of Queen Victoria, setting the scene for the Duchess's eclectic eye for detail and flair for decoration throughout the the finishes of the home. Passing through the portico, the lower living level opens up before you, with beautiful old polished hardwood and Italian tiled floors, combined with high ceilings and opening onto the Juliette balcony. To the right of the entry is a small office, a delightful spot to work and gaze out through the classic timber louvres. There are numerous other nooks and crannies throughout the home that are equally suited for the purpose of study, reading room or other creative tasks. 

Whilst the property retains so many classic features, it has been impeccably maintained and caters to modern comforts with split system air-conditioning installed to the lower living area as well as the main bedroom upstairs. With the verandahs fully screened and ceiling fans throughout, it is comfortable in any weather, as it was designed to capture air flow well before air conditioning even existed.

The characterful original kitchen features a colonial kitchen dresser and marble slabs on the kitchen benches, off which is a screened breakfast room, looking onto the bush, and the 'maid's room'. There's also a bedroom and a bathroom which leads to a further storage area which has in the past been a laundry (now located on an upstairs verandah). As with many Maggie houses of character, this room is built around a boulder!

Open the double doors and climb the ornate staircase to the upper living level where there is a second light-filled living area, which opens onto the wide covered verandahs that surround the house on three sides. From both the master bedroom and the verandah, the treetop view and distant water glimpses will have you feeling on top of the world and away from any hustle and bustle. Whilst technically described as two bedroom, the verandahs provide additional sleepout areas where many visitors choose to sleep. There's an inside bathroom as well as a further bathroom at the back of the verandah - don't worry, only the local wildlife will see you! 

Hamilton House has grace, charm and style, with beautiful period furniture, some of which can be included, such as the antique iron frame beds (with quality mattresses &amp; canopies), various antique timber tables and chairs, the kitchen dresser and of course Queen Victoria. This property never fails to entrance its visitors, and for the right person, will continue to provide delight every day you are lucky enough to enjoy spending here. 

Whilst the driveway and carport are officially shared with 'Capricornia Cottage' just below, the house lot feels much larger than its 240m2 as the National Park behind goes on forever and the views to the front are expansive, so it's ideal for those looking for privacy but also a low maintenance yard. There's plenty of storage both under the house and around the house, with all spaces utilised efficiently. 

It's a short walk to Alma Bay and the Arcadia pub and approx 4 minutes' drive to the ferry terminal, supermarkets and facilities of Nelly Bay. 

To view this unique island offering, please contact Alex to arrange a private inspection by appointment only.

Modern easy-care quality home near everything

On a large 1004m2 block, just a couple of minutes walk to beautiful Alma Bay and with a National Park walking track approx 100m away, this property has the ideal location. The much-loved home is looking for a new owner to give it a spruce up and bring it back to its former glory. 

A large lock up shed with roller doors at both ends is an ideal workshop or garage, plus there's also a carport and another workshop space on the side of the house. Whilst just two bedroom, the home has 3 spacious living areas allowing the option to designate a further bedroom area if desired. Entering through the front door, there's a lovely sun room off to the right of the main L-shaped living area which flows through the kitchen, to a further well-lit living area opening to the back garden and terrace. Split system air conditioning keeps the central living area and main bedroom cool whatever the weather, although this house was built for the tropics with high ceilings and lots of louvres for good air flow, so with lots of modern ceiling fans installed, you'll hardly ever need the AC.

Short walk to Alma Bay

Set on a 2430m2 block, this property offers room for all the family, guests, pets, boats, caravans, kayaks and more! 

There's privacy from the street - although there's very little traffic there anyway, and the paved driveway leads up to the weatherboard cottage and detached block granny flat beyond, which form an L-shape around the swimming pool. The design lends itself perfectly to dual living for a family who want to be close but also have separation or would also be great for someone who wants to live in one part and make income from letting the other. 

There is driveway access to the large back yard which has a huge 4 bay shed to the rear, half of which is lock-up garaging, half open covered storage, plus a further carport and lawn locker. The property has lovely mountain views and strategically placed trees for shade and privacy.  

A covered paved patio leads you from the driveway to the front door of the cottage off which the laundry, which contains a toilet, is located so that it can be easily accessed by both homes. Light floods into the main living area through the casement windows at the far end and with high ceilings, tongue-in-groove panelled walls and cool slate floors, the room has a delightful character. The kitchen is just to the right and is functional but would benefit from an update whilst retaining the cottage features it benefits from. 

The bathroom is the first door to the left on entering the house and the two doors to the far left and right lead to bedrooms. On the left, there is a bedroom with large modern built-in-wardrobes which leads through to a smaller room with split system air con and a smaller traditional built-in-wardrobe. This room opens to outside through casement doors and a security screen door - most windows in the property are screened so you can leave the casement windows and doors open to allow the breeze through.

Overlooking the pool, the main bedroom is double length with split system air con and is a beautiful room with lots of light and character, opening up with casement doors to the pool area and to the side of the house. 

The inground pool is large and great for kids or just to cool off in summer. There's a huge paved area around it so it's ideal for lounging around and entertaining. There's a large covered raised patio linking the pool and granny flat which has sliding doors opening up onto it from the main bedroom and kitchen/diner. The bedroom is a good size with built-in-robe and box air con and a nice view over the backyard and pool. The kitchen is a full modern kitchen with gas cooktop and built-in oven. The living area is carpeted and has a window onto the pool and access to the bathroom which has a bathtub, separate shower and separate toilet adjacent. 

This property offers so much scope for almost anything that you want to do with it and in Horseshoe Bay where you have a beautiful sandy north-facing beach with lots of watersport options, boat ramp, skate park, multi-sport court, regular markets and a great selection of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Arcadia - 'Magnetic Reef' Unit

On a fenced 1012m2 block, this cute cottage retains many of its original features with casement windows, timber louvres, french doors, high ceilings and a central room, around which verandas have been enclosed to create additional living spaces. 

An insulated new roof (2020) and split system aircon to the main living area and bedroom keep the house cool all year round, although of course these houses were built for the tropics before the days of air con, so good ventilation was a must. 

You can decide how best to use each area in the room, but there's two inter-connecting rooms on one side of the house which make natural bedrooms, and the central room also makes a lovely bedroom with its soaring high ceiling, whilst leaving a further L-shaped area that could be partitioned for further rooms, as well as the main living area which sits between the front door and kitchen. 

From the kitchen, there's a step down to an enclosed rear patio which houses the laundry and store area, and the bathroom which includes a shower over bath, vanity and toilet. 

The yard has been planted with approx 30 different types of fruit tree yet is still a blank canvas where you can add a shed, pool, parking for boats/caravans etc if you so wish and with easy driveway access down the side of the house, further development should be fairly straight-forward. 

With the Hawkings Point lookout at the end of the street, you've got the perfect morning or evening excuse for exercise, where you can see spectacular sunrises and sunsets over the water. The beach is less than a 5 minute walk as well as the new 'Sea Salt Arcade' with Maggie's own microbrewery and selection of eateries, with the pub just a few steps further on where you can sit and drink in the view! 

It's less than ten minutes' drive to the ferry terminal, supermarkets, medical facilities etc so it's a great location whilst tucked away in your own little tropical paradise.

Architect-designed and built in 2003 by an island master builder, this home includes several desirable features: hardwood floors, high ceilings, good light and airflow, 6.5kva solar system, solar-heated spa and a bore which is useful if you are a keen gardener, although of course it is also on town water, power and mains sewer. 

On a 600m2 easy-care block, the owner has planted native/tropical gardens to provide privacy whilst being low maintenance and drought-resistant. 

The double length carport on one side of the house provides plenty of parking and access to the back yard. At the front of the house there's a small deck, ideal for a morning cuppa in the sun as you watch the birds in the trees. Sliding glass doors at either side of the living area open onto decks providing excellent cross-ventilation and easy transition between indoor-outdoor living areas. 

The kitchen has a delightful outlook to the garden, with servery windows to the deck, gas stove, electric oven and dishwasher. The spacious back deck is where you will spend most of your time, unless you're relaxing the spa instead! 

Two of the bedrooms open onto the back deck, one with a small ensuite and the other with a built-in-wardrobe. The third bedroom is also a generous size and has a built-in-wardrobe.

707m2 land in established elevated area

Olympus Crescent has long been a prized address on Magnetic Island being just a hop, skip and a jump to Alma Bay and a no-through road of beautiful classic homes. This home, known as 'Paradise' to those who may remember it from days gone by, is nestled on a large 1248m2 block with beautiful easy-care gardens and the backdrop of the National Park to the rear. The block provides ample scope for extending the property, adding a pool, or developing the garden further. 

The home is a classic Queenslander design, perfect for the tropics, with the living area which wraps around three sides of the house fully enclosed with modern screened louvres so you can enjoy the space whatever the weather. There are two external decks too, both with lovely views of the garden and the trees and granite boulders that define Magnetic Island. 

The two very spacious bedrooms open onto the living area through French doors, each of which have split system air conditioning. The bathroom has been stylishly renovated with an easy-access shower, vanity and separate toilet adjacent and the laundry is out of view in a large cupboard with additional linen and broom closets.

2.8kw of solar power help to keep the bills down and the house has been considerately renovated to retain its charm whilst adding the comforts of modern life and keeping maintenance to a minimum.

This property is a hidden gem that will be snapped up by the discerning buyer, a characterful cottage in an amazing location just two minutes' walk to picturesque Alma Bay, arguably the best swimming beach on the island. Just a three minute drive or a 20 minute scenic beachfront walk brings you to the busy ferry terminal hub from where it's just 20 minutes on the ferry to Townsville. 

Private inspections are available by appointment - please contact Alex.

'Paradise' - Olympus Crescent Queenslander on large 1248m2 land

Hidden from the road, albeit a quiet cul-de-sac, you will feel a veil of peace and tranquility fall on you as you meander through the beautiful established gardens to the house.  

Originally built in 1989/1990, a recent extensive renovation by an esteemed local master builder has transformed the liveability of this home, with huge sliding doors opening up to really bring the outside in. Whilst the lounge area opens onto a covered deck overlooking the pool, the kitchen and dining open onto a gorgeous private courtyard, ideal for outdoor dining or a quiet corner to enjoy a coffee and a good book. 

The modern kitchen encompasses just about everything anyone could want in a kitchen - stone benchtops, island bench and breakfast bar, masses of storage, gas stove, electric oven, large double door fridge freezer space, aircon, fan, space for a dishwasher and a double sink with bi-fold windows opening to a servery to the back patio. 

The main bedroom is generous in size, with new built-in-wardrobes, split system air con and an ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. Bedroom 2 is also a good size with built-in wardrobes, split system air con and a built-in desk that looks out onto the back garden - the ideal home office/guest room. The main bathroom is handy to bedrooms 2 &amp; 3 as well as the living area. Adjacent to it is the laundry which provides access to the back garden, washing line and garden shed. 

The home has been renovated for easy living in a tropical environment - the use of banks of new louvre windows and doors to provide excellent cross-ventilation, split system a/c in every bedroom and at both ends of the spacious open-plan living area, skylights to provide natural light, ceiling fans throughout and a bore with some auto-irrigation to water the garden efficiently. 

The inground pool even has a spa seat to soothe those aching joints after a hike up to the Sphinx or the nearby Endeavour Falls. Geoffrey Bay is just 2 minutes' walk while Alma Bay is approx ten minutes walk and the ferry terminal is a similar distance just over the scenic Gabul Walkway. Enjoy the view from the deck at both sunrise and sunset as it casts beautiful colours onto the hills in the distance - you'll really feel like you are in a tropical hideaway here. 

There's ample parking with a double length carport, plus space for a trailer, easy on-street parking for visitors and a substantial 3 x 6m lock-up shed with power for the home handyman or avid gardener. 

Contact Alex to arrange a private inspection by appointment - in sought-after Arcadia, quality properties are in high demand so don't delay!
