How often do you find a beautiful Queenslander on a huge block in the heart of Mundingburra, with room for a big family, separate guest accommodation and tropical gardens that have taken decades to establish?
Not every day... and this one-of-a-kind architecturally designed home is 100% move-in Ready!
This is one of those wonderful North Queensland homes that just feels right. The current seller is only the second owner of this property, and it's easy to see why people don't want to leave. With four bedrooms, an additional guest suite, beautiful timber floors, a spacious outdoor entertaining area and more than 1,000m² of lush tropical gardens, there's plenty to fall in love with here.

North Queensland living is all about making the most of the outdoors, and this home absolutely delivers. The elevated verandah is a fantastic place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book or have a few friends over for drinks as the sun goes down. Surrounded by established tropical greenery, it's wonderfully private and feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of Townsville.
We love the way the outdoor space connects with the gardens. There's something rather special about sitting amongst mature palms and tropical plants with the afternoon breeze coming through. This is the sort of environment that takes years to create, and it's one of the things that makes established Mundingburra properties so desirable.
Inside, you'll find the warmth and character that makes traditional Queenslanders so popular. Beautiful polished timber floors, light-filled rooms and classic timber features give this house a personality that you simply don't find in most modern project homes.
The kitchen features beautiful teak-finished timber cabinetry. There's plenty of bench space for preparing meals, a bosch range, plumbed fridge, and a breakfast bar where the family can pull up a stool and keep the cook company.
There are four bedrooms in the main accommodation, providing plenty of room for a growing family. Three of them feature split system air conditioning and built-in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as a media room.
But what if you've got family members who need their own space?
One of the most appealing features of 16 Winifred Street is the additional guest suite. Whether you've got relatives visiting from interstate, an older teenager who appreciates a little independence, having this extra accommodation provides flexibility that ordinary four-bedroom homes simply can't offer.
Now, let's talk about the gardens.
If you've been looking at properties in newer suburbs, you'll know that finding a big block with established tropical landscaping is becoming increasingly difficult.
Here, you've got more than 1,000m² of land, with beautiful mature trees, lush greenery and plenty of lawn. There's room to enjoy being outdoors without feeling as though you're living on top of your neighbours.
There is an excellent bore, with a brand new pump. Anyone who's tried to maintain a beautiful tropical garden through a dry North Queensland winter will appreciate just how valuable that can be. Having access to bore water is a fantastic advantage when you're looking after an established garden of this size.
There's also solar power to help reduce your reliance on electricity from the grid. With Townsville's abundance of sunshine, it's a practical inclusion that your family will certainly appreciate.
What really appeals to us about this property, though, is its history.
When a home has had just two owners, there's usually a good reason. People find a place they love, they make it their own, and they stay. There's a wonderful sense of permanence about 16 Winifred Street, and the mature gardens and character of the house tell the story of a property that has been a home for a very long time.
And the location? It's fantastic!
Mundingburra is one of Townsville's most established and desirable inner-city suburbs. You're close to the beautiful Ross River parklands, with walking and cycling paths that make it easy to get outdoors and enjoy the cooler mornings.
There are excellent schools in the surrounding suburbs, plenty of local shopping and dining options, and convenient access to major shopping centres. Townsville University Hospital, James Cook University, Lavarack Barracks and the CBD are all within easy reach.
It's this combination of leafy streets, established homes, generous blocks and central convenience that makes Mundingburra such a sought-after place to live.
If you've been searching for a home with genuine character, room for the extended family, beautiful gardens and all the practical benefits of solar power and bore water, we think you're going to love this one.
Come and see why only two owners have been lucky enough to call 16 Winifred Street home.
We look forward to showing you through!
