Overview

Grand Colonial Home High on Melton Hill. Once in a Lifetime Opportunity

It just does not get any better than this Grand Queenslander that has been sitting idle on top of Melton Hill for decades. This truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity to restore this amazing character filled home to its former glory while taking advantage of the Sea, City and Castle Hill views high up on prestigious Melton Hill. This magnificent sprawling home is steeped in history and has the potential to be one of Townsville's finest residences. Let your imagination run wild on this irreplaceable 1656m2 parcel of land that features two titles and dual access from both Herbert Street and Willmett Street. There is plenty of room for that pool, shed, tennis court or a bungalow retreat as well as potential for further development opportunities subject to council approval. The private entry off the exclusive Herbert Street laneway provides a welcome grand entrance. You will be impressed by the wide verandas all round. The central core of the home features soaring ceilings and numerous pairs of French half glass cedar doors providing natural breezes and access from all bedrooms. A quandary; is that a Ball Room or just an extra-large lounge to be furnished with the new owners' personal taste and design preferences? You will be amazed by the sheer size of the rooms and the amount of space available. The house is a blank canvass with a flexible floorplan easily adapted to your requirements. One room, originally the kitchen, still retains the magnificent original brick fireplace, a decorator's delight. Tongue and groove silky oak VJ boards in the walls and ceilings and wide timber floorboards throughout are a nod to a bygone era. The expansive and finely constructed concrete floored undercroft provides a safe shaded area for hobbies and play. One look above at the heavy exposed timbers supporting the timber floors leave no doubt this home has been built by tradesman, well skilled in their field. As you scroll through the current photos, please keep an eye out for the image depicting the house before the verandas were enclosed in the 1980's and showing off a magnificent colonial facade. Prestigious and tightly held Melton Hill is a backdrop to the City Centre. It provides a short walk down to Flinders Street, North Ward, and The Strand. There can be no denying, it is handy to everything. This unique and distinctive home is screaming out for a proud new owner to transform it into something truly magnificent to be enjoyed and appreciated for generations to come. We guarantee you will not find another one like it. Proudly offered for sale by Exclusive Agent Greg Banks and NQ Realty. Inspection is strictly by appointment.
