Imagine mornings spent on the front deck with a coffee in hand, looking out across the lawn towards the hills, while afternoons unfold with the children playing outside and friends gathering for a long lunch. Set on a generous 4,001m² allotment, 18 Allendale Drive brings together the warmth of a character home, a brand-new extension and the freedom to embrace a more relaxed way of living.
Framed by established trees and a beautiful mountain backdrop, the home feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Its soft grey exterior, white detailing and inviting front deck introduce a residence where country charm carries through to thoughtfully presented interiors. Warm timber tones and natural light create a comfortable atmosphere, while the new extension, which has never been lived in, opens an exciting new chapter for this family home.
The layout offers space to come together and room to enjoy a little independence. A separate family room complements the original living and dining area, giving a growing household flexibility for movie nights, quiet reading or simply spreading out at the end of the day. Louvred windows welcome the outlook and breezes, with split system air conditioning and ceiling fans adding everyday comfort.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry with warm timber benchtops and a generous breakfast bar. There is space for the morning conversation to continue while breakfast is prepared, along with a walk-in pantry and dishwasher to keep daily life running smoothly. A gas cooktop and electric oven with an air fryer function cater just as easily to a quick family dinner as they do to a weekend gathering.
Five bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a dedicated home office. The main bedroom features a walk-in robe and sits separately from the four additional bedrooms, which include built-in storage and are arranged around the family living space. Two bathrooms and a separate powder room serve the home, while a third full bathroom is located in the shed. A freestanding bath, timber-topped vanity and dark tapware bring a beautiful sense of warmth and style to the main bathroom.
Outdoor living is where this property truly comes into its own. The expansive rear deck offers room for a substantial dining setting and comfortable lounge furniture, creating a natural gathering place for birthdays, Sunday lunches and evenings spent catching up with friends. An adjoining covered entertaining area, finished with folding louvred panels, adds another inviting space to enjoy the connection between the home and garden.
Beyond the decks, broad lawns and established shade trees create a setting made for an outdoor childhood. The tyre swing, monkey bars and swings invite hours of play, with plenty of room left for backyard games and exploring. Bore water and irrigation support the upkeep of the grounds, and the ride-on mower will remain with the property, making the move to acreage living that little bit easier.
For those who love their tools, hobbies or weekend projects, the four-bay shed is a standout inclusion. One bay is dedicated to a workshop, with bathroom facilities adding practicality to the setup. An adjoining carport and generous driveway space complete a property that offers room for both family life and the interests that come with it.
Alligator Creek's relaxed rural setting is complemented by local community and sporting facilities, while the walking trails and picnic areas of Bowling Green Bay National Park offer more ways to enjoy the outdoors. Shopping and dining at Fairfield Central, on Townsville's southern side, keep everyday conveniences within reach.
From the first coffee on the deck to the last call for the children to come inside, this is a home that invites you to enjoy the simple things. Space to grow, room to gather and a country setting to make your own. Contact Giovanni Spinella at Ray White Townsville to arrange your inspection.
