You'd never know McLeod Street was out the front!
Tucked away at the very rear of Balmoral, a small complex of only eight townhouses, this immaculately presented two-bedroom home delivers something increasingly difficult to find this close to the Cairns CBD, peace, privacy and genuine outdoor space.
Set well back from the road, the position feels surprisingly removed from the city around it, yet the Cairns Esplanade is approximately 800m away and the CBD, Cairns Hospital, shopping, schools and both domestic and international airports are all within easy reach.
Currently owner occupied and available for immediate possession, the property has been beautifully updated and presents equally well as an inner-city home or investment, with a current rental appraisal of approximately $600 per week.
Five of the eight residences within the complex are currently owner occupied, adding to the quiet, private feel of Balmoral.
Downstairs, the tiled open-plan living and dining area connects with a new kitchen, offering excellent bench and storage space, double sink and electric cooking while looking directly across the private rear courtyard.
Step outside and the paved courtyard with shade sail provides a surprisingly generous second living space. Private, low maintenance and ideal for entertaining.
A newly updated internal laundry is conveniently positioned off the kitchen, while excellent storage has been incorporated beneath and around the internal staircase.
Upstairs, the generous main bedroom features extensive built-in wardrobes, split system air-conditioning and direct access to its own private balcony. The second bedroom is also air-conditioned, while the bathroom includes a step-in shower, vanity and good storage.

The Location:
Being this close to the city is one thing. Being able to come home and feel removed from it is what sets this position apart.
Balmoral sits well back from McLeod Street, giving the complex a surprisingly peaceful setting while retaining the convenience of inner-city living.
The Cairns Esplanade is approximately 800m away, with Cairns Hospital, Cairns Central, medical facilities, shopping, cafés and both Cairns Domestic and International Airports all within easy reach.
The property is within the Parramatta Park State School and Cairns State High School catchments, with TAFE and a number of private schools also nearby.
Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance home close to the city, a Cairns base you can lock up and leave, or an investment with strong rental appeal, this property proves you don't have to choose between convenience and peace and quiet.
