Welcome to 9 Water Street in Magical Mundingburra.
This is a classic four-bedroom Queenslander with the polished timber floors, casement windows and generous rooms that make these old homes so likeable. It isn't trying to be a brand-new designer home - but there is plenty of space here, a great backyard and a very handy downstairs area for families who need a little more room.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms feature polished hardwood floors and classic casement windows, giving the home a timeless North Queensland feel. The main bedroom has heaps of room for the biggest bed and beautiful windows that catch the breeze all year round.
The kitchen is cheerful, practical and has plenty of storage. There is an adjoining dining area as well as a big separate living room, and the enclosed sunroom gives you another useful space for the kids, a home office or somewhere to sit with a coffee.
What about downstairs?
The house is built in underneath with several additional rooms and its own shower and toilet. If you've got an unruly teenager who would like to live at the opposite end of the house from you, this could be just about perfect. It would also make a useful guest area, hobby space, home office or simply somewhere to store all the stuff that families somehow accumulate.
Out the back you'll find a sparkling saltwater swimming pool surrounded by a shady, established yard. There is a large covered patio as well, so you've got plenty of room for a barbecue while the kids burn off their energy in the pool.
There are also a couple of practical North Queensland extras here.
Solar panels will help take some of the sting out of the power bills, while the bore is particularly handy for keeping the gardens going through the dry months.
9 Water Street is tucked away in one of the nicest parts of Mundingburra on a massive 916m2 block. Here you're just a few blocks from the Ross River and its kilometres of walking and cycling paths - follow them long enough, and they'll take you all the way towards James Cook University and beyond.
Need to head into town? The Townsville CBD is only around a 10-minute drive away, while schools, shopping and some of Townsville's biggest employers are all within easy reach.
It's an old-school Mundingburra Queenslander with a pool, solar, a bore and heaps of space for the biggest of families to spread out.
Be sure and inspect!
