There is only one house for you. The owner of 38 Twelfth Avenue is an amazing, creative stonemason and landscape designer and when we tell you there is nothing else like this house anywhere in the world… we aren’t exaggerating! Key features include amazing potential for entertaining around your custom rock-lined salt water pool with beach entry, a forest of food producing plants throughout the 810sqm block, and an immaculate open-plan kitchen with hand-hewn Sydney Blue Gum benchtops. When you move in to a stately Queenslander, the last thing you want to think about is maintaining a 100 year old house. Meticulous renovations ensure years of maintenance-free living await your family in this stunning property. All three bedrooms feature split-system air-conditioning to keep you cool in the hottest summer months. There is a large solar power system installed on the roof which will keep your energy bills low.

Special attention has been paid to the stumps beneath the house to ensure that you’ll have no structural worries. A building and pest inspection report is available. Simply send us an email for a copy. If you love to entertain, you can enjoy preparing hors d’oeuvres for your guests while interacting through the stacking servery window. The home has been opened up to bring the outside in and from your spacious deck, you will enjoy the birdsong and sounds of your waterfall pool year-round. The Balinesestyle pergola adjacent to the pool has been custom designed with hand-set stone, hardwood timbers, fans, lights and integrated seating. No matter where you wish to spend your time on this property, you will feel like you’re living in a 5 star resort. Meticulous gardening has ensured that every blade of grass is in place and over the last 7 years, the owners have planted hundreds of mature trees and feature foliage to complete the tropical feel. If you want to skip the produce section at Coles, you can enjoy pawpaws, limes, lychees, herbs, chillies, multiple varieties of bananas, dragon fruit and many more edibles from your gardens. Instagram lovers will appreciate the rock-wall seating around the firepit which will not only make for amazing photos… but also keep you warm on those three cold Townsville winter nights. There is a custom fish pond with a waterfall, an outdoor shower built into a hollow tree stump… and so much more to discover as you wander around this amazing property. The centrepiece piece of course is the incredible saltwater pool with beach-entry and custom ceramic turtle mosaic. You’ll never find another one similar which is why Townsville’s most beautiful mermaids have decided to call this their home. The LED light can be set to any of millions of colours depending on your mood and of course there’s nothing like relaxing in the backyard with the sounds of the flowing waterfall. The home features undercover parking for two cars and double-gate side access to the backyard. Beneath the house there is a lockable storage room and the entire space is dry and concreted. A full 6 foot fence extends across most of the front of the block, giving you amazing privacy in this inner-city oasis. You’re less than 5 minutes drive from the CBD at this beautiful suburban site.
