Brimming with traditional character and a timeless charm like no other, this historic home has stood proudly on the corner of Sixth Street East for close to 100 years. A quintessential, classic Queenslander resting comfortably on a well-appointed 713SQM allotment with a commanding frontage, this landmark residence is a piece of South Townsville history. Framed with immaculately maintained tropical landscaping and a traditional front verandah leading to the entrance, this home exudes all the warmth, charm and character of a time passed with its plethora of both heritage and contemporary details hidden inside. Perfectly symmetrical in design, this home encapsulates flow with several functional, refined formal and informal living spaces to provide a degree of separation whilst still ensuring the family unit is kept connected. The home opens into a grand hallway with four bedrooms hugging each side, carpeted, with built-in robes and incredibly generous in proportions. Each bedroom has direct access to the sleepouts on each adjoining side, bathed in natural light and each with direct double access to an office at each end, also accessible from the front verandah and complete with built-in book shelves and air-conditioned to stay cool in the summer months. The rear of the home opens into an expansive space, enriched with warm tones and perfect for entertaining. To the left are the two bathrooms, one in original condition and displaying elegance whilst the second has recently be re-done with a brand-new corner shower and gorgeous timber vanity. The lounge leads into the heart of the home, the kitchen, a space the culinary artist within yourself can truly feel at home. With ample bench and storage space including drawers and overhead cabinetry, this kitchen is fit for a Michelin star chef with near new rangehood, electric oven and huge, 900mm, 5-burner gas stove. There is even ceiling speakers for you to listen to your music whilst you cook! Framed with Rosewood beams, the space flows to the dining area with smart lights and a built-in corner bar overlooking the expansive deck, accessed through huge, bordered concertina doors. Down the back stairs, there is plenty of paved area for entertaining with more than enough space for a barbecue, fire pit, outdoor furnishings and more. Encapsulating the breezes through the fresh green foliage, the sparkling, concrete in-ground pool is the ultimate escape from the heat, whilst the yard itself lends plenty of grassed space and gardens to keep the pets, kids, and the avid green thumb happy. Under the home is expansive with a laundry, mounted clothesline and huge, lockable tool shed with an array of shelving and storage options. If the traditional Queenslander features of this home don't captivate you, the positioning of the home and its location could not be more perfect. With only one neighbour, the laneway at the rear gives the kids plenty of space to play and learn to ride. At the end of Fifth Avenue is the South Townsville Boat Ramp with playgrounds, Picnic spots, recreational BBQs, multiple ramps, and jetties to fish off. If your trip is less than desirable, a swift 5 minutes in the car finds you at the NQ Marina Fresh Seafood with more trawlers than the eye can see. For a night out, the wonders of Flinders Street, Palmer Street and the Ville Resort Casino aren't far, as well as sunny weekends spent at the Strand, Jezzine Barracks and Pallarenda whilst the Queensland Country Bank Stadium is within walking distance.
