What's around 27 Barbarra Street

Modern home close to the beach

This characterful home offers very generous living space, with bi-fold doors completely opening up the light airy interior to the L-shaped covered deck - a great house for entertaining! Just 220m approx to the beach, the water is visible from the end of the driveway. The house is neatly set on the easy-care 386m2 block with a carport and yet there's still ample room for a pool and/or a third bedroom or office extension. The house is built to capture the sea breeze beautifully so it is cool all year round, with screened louvres throughout. The curved roof and picture windows create a unique feel, quite different to the modern boxes usually built today. Wildlife flocks to the garden, with sunbirds, kookaburras, Ulysses butterflies all regular visitors thanks to the carefully selected natives. The two bedrooms are both very generous in size and wonderfully light and cool with banks of louvres and high open ceilings for air flow and views of the gardens. A fantastic holiday home, weekender, first home or retirement home, this easy-care low maintenance property will suit a lot of lifestyles. A furniture package is available by negotiation for those looking for a furnished property. Picnic Bay is known for its tranquil laidback atmosphere, sandy swimming beach, the old jetty which is great for fishing or a gentle stroll, 'Little Italy' restaurants, pub, golf club (complete with resident koala population) and a couple of spectacular lookouts just a short 15 minute walk in each direction. It's approx 5 minutes' drive to Nelly Bay ferry terminal, supermarkets, school and medical facilities and then a 25 minute ferry ride to the city of Townsville.

Verified Review

Alex went well beyond the call of duty in helping us buy the right house on Magnetic Island.

My wife and I were in a difficult situation, living in New Zealand and attempting to buy a house on Magnetic Island especially during the various lockdowns caused by COVID 19. We were in contact with Alex for about 5 months. Initially by email we considered houses, and found her advice to be invaluable. She was not just seeking a sale, but genuinely was seeking to sell us the right house for us. 3 times Alex gave us “virtual tours” via iPhone of key properties, which was most helpful. Eventually we found the right house with her assistance. Being so remote from the Island, we asked many questions about Island life, and practical things we needed to know. Alex always answered our questions, sometimes by sizeable emails that would have taken her much time to prepare. We felt that Alex genuinely had our best interests at heart. So we warmly commend her to any potential buyers on the Island. Peter and Meri Armstrong Picnic Bay Magnetic Island

Professional, Knowledgeable, Personable and Current

Alex is professional and no-nonsense sales person. She provided us with current market prices and expectations, and our house sold within weeks. Her attention to detail with back and forth conversations between potential buyers and us was exemplary. The buyers of our home told us the same and they felt no pressure of a quick sell by Alex. We highly recommend her for selling or buying a property on Magnet Island.
