Peace and tranquillity and a Queenslander on an acre - a truly special find in Townsville. Waking up to birdsong every morning is now possible in your very own gorgeous hardwood house on a private, lush acre of land. This humble home has stood tall and proud and sheltered its current family for 20 years through Yasi and the most recent flood event. This home is your typical majestic Queenslander but with window awnings, higher ceilings, hardwood floors, French doors, louvers and breezeways facing North-South which perfectly catch the cooled breezes from nearby shady trees. This home features plenty of sizeable, yet cosy living space with an exceptionally functional original kitchen fitted with a gas stove and a brand-new dishwasher. Separate lounge and dining areas as well as an additional screened-in porch which overlooks the pool all provide an excellent indoor-outdoor space for meals, coffee, birdwatching or simply contemplation. The main bedroom and 2 double bedrooms are all airconditioned and have more than enough space to fit a wardrobe and a desk. The bathroom has been completely redone and boasts a luxurious walk in shower. A separate toilet and basin will allow for easily family routines. Additional living space is provided by a front verandah which runs for the entire length of the house. This space could be used as an office, library, an extra bedroom, nursery or rumpus space, the possibilities are basically endless. The large yard features a huge inground pebble-crete pool which creates your own private tropical oasis. There is also a paved entertainment area which is adjacent to the pool, this spot is perfect for large gatherings and eating under the stars. The gardens are designed to be low maintenance and the bird and butterfly attracting species separate the paved area from the rest of the yard. This home is extremely self-sustainable with a chook run, vegetable gardens and fruit trees (bananas, mango, coconut, limes, lemon, papaya, mandarin, guava, Burdekin plum, and pomegranate). Large grassy areas with an open fire space provides the perfect space for winter gatherings. The whole entire home is fully-fenced and the property also includes a pole built double carport which not only provides shelter for the vehicles, there is a bench for odd jobs and a ride-on Greenfield mower with a brand new motor included in the sale.
