(Please see our television quality video and 3D tour to get a sense of what living in this house is really like)
For so many families, the dream is to live an idyllic, inner-city lifestyle in a beautiful 100 year old house. Alas! So many Queenslanders are such a maintenance nightmare and have so much work to do that we often settle for boring block homes in the suburbs with no personality. 56 Ninth Avenue in Railway Estate will be such a dream to own. This beautiful cottage has been raised to legal height and from the sleek stone bench kitchen to the LED lighting to the immaculate landscaping, all the hard work has been done here. Don't visit if you're not prepared to fall in love.
Our North Queensland lifestyle is all about indoor / outdoor living and there are so many spaces in this home for you to enjoy Townsville's year-round beautiful temperatures. Beneath the house is a huge, breezy, open-air living area complete with stunning vj accents, LED lighting, polished concrete and fans. This ain't underneath Grandpa's house with a crappy, rusty, corrugated iron bar and XXXX Gold beer mat! You will love this flexible space as additionally, downstairs you will find a kitchenette as well as a shower and toilet. In fact… if your guests have a few too many, they can stay in the split system air conditioned, tiled bedroom downstairs. (Yes, it is a genuine bedroom because this home is legal height).
What else is downstairs? What every North Queensland family wants! A stunning salt water swimming pool with rock waterfalls. You might not want to share this backyard space because with the incredible mature specimen trees that surround this property, it feels like a private oasis bungalow suite at a 5 star resort.
What else do families want? Storage! There is a huge, dry, lockable council approved shed in the backyard with heaps of space for either your tool and yard maintenance equipment collection… or the pool table and pinball machine selection. This shed makes a great man cave if you like to keep your man in a cave.
Upstairs, you will find the typical Queenslander plan has been heavily modified. This is truly a modern open-concept space. The kitchen will not disappoint. If you love to cook, you will adore the awesome professional 5-burner gas range and oven. There is plenty of working room on the new stone benchtops and of course, heaps of soft-closed drawers for storage and an LED lit coffee nook provides the perfect place to store your toaster and there is even room for a modern family sized fridge.
The bathroom has been fully renovated as well with a floating vanity, stone bench, and walk-in rain shower.
You will be pleasantly surprised to find that all 3 upstairs bedrooms in this Queenslander feature built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom has both his and hers closets as well as built-in drawers and a beautiful wood-finish to the cabinetry. The floors in the bedrooms are a mix of traditional hoop pine and native hardwood and you will love the lustre and finish that has been applied.
The main living area features split system air conditioning and plenty of space to both dine and cuddle up for Netflix. There is also a large deck upstairs which is fantastic for small family dinners when all of your friends haven't come over to use your pool.
Rounding out this idyllic family property is a solar panel system on the roof to help keep those energy bills down. There is a cute cubby house which perfectly matches the main house and the entire yard is fully fenced.
Railway Estate is an inner-city suburb just 5 minutes drive from the Townsville CBD. It features easy access to boat ramps, beaches along the Strand, and from this house you can walk to the Queensland Country Bank Stadium to cheer on the Cowboys. Most of Townsville largest employers are less than a 15 minute drive away.
Be quick! Renovated Queenslanders that are so nicely finished are always in high demand. Legal height houses are as rare as rocking horse teeth. Be sure and check it out this weekend!
