Now priced at $899,000+, an honest, motivated price on one of Belgian Gardens' most liveable character homes.
Set in one of Townsville's most tightly held and lifestyle-rich suburbs, 15 Barboutis Street blends genuine Queenslander character with the kind of thoughtful, tasteful updates most buyers only hope to find - light-filled interiors, a designer kitchen, a boutique-style bathroom, a full 809m² block and true Castle Hill views from the rear deck.
From the street, the home makes an immediate impression. A brand-new white picket fence with sliding entry gate frames the property beautifully, while a second double gate delivers wide side access for the boat, caravan, trailer or a future shed.
Inside, VJ walls, high ceilings and warm timber floors set the tone, with plantation shutters, sheer curtains and original timber-framed French doors carrying the character through. New split-system air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout - plus a solar system already installed - keep it comfortable and cost-effective all year.
The kitchen is the standout. Live-edge timber benchtops and open shelving, a white farmhouse sink, trio of pendants, freestanding gas oven and cooktop and a dishwasher create a space with real personality - not a builder's-special box. It opens directly to the dining area, leading out to the rear deck, and to a central living room with a second sun-filled sitting space beyond it, giving the family somewhere to spread out.
Step onto the rear deck and you'll understand the rarity of this home. Sheltered, elevated and framed by palms and established gardens, it looks straight out to the granite face of Castle Hill - a genuine Townsville view, and the sort of everyday outlook that doesn't come up often in this price range.
Accommodation is flexible: three bedrooms plus a study or fourth bedroom positioned off an exceptionally large master suite - ideal as a nursery, home office, dressing room or private parents' retreat. The spacious master is finished with premium full-wall built-in robes, while the other bedrooms feature high ceilings, sheer curtains, air-conditioning and a matching white built-in robe.
The refreshed main bathroom has a boutique-hotel feel - modern bath, antique brass exposed-pipe tapware and rain shower, stone basin on a charcoal timber vanity, skylight and dark timber-look flooring - respecting the home's era while feeling completely current.
Downstairs adds serious usable space: a separate air-conditioned studio or office with polished concrete floors and exposed painted beams, a second toilet, a large storage room, a tandem carport and an enormous covered patio for entertaining, a gym, a workshop, guest overflow or the work-from-home setup that actually works.
Outdoors, the yard is large yet genuinely low maintenance - premium artificial turf, established gardens, mature frangipani and palms, a garden shed and a dedicated spot ready for a veggie patch. With wide side access and room for a future shed or pool, it's the kind of usability that's increasingly rare this close to the CBD.
All of this sits roughly 4km from the Townsville CBD, walking distance to The Strand, a short run to Townsville University Hospital and JCU, with the Belgian Gardens Link Track into Castle Hill nearby and the Belgian Gardens State School catchment on your doorstep.
The owners are committed to selling. At $899,000+, this is priced to move - bring your interest early.
