PEACEFUL GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT CLOSE TO CBD & EDGE HILL
New to the market is this cool, clean two-bedroom apartment nestled into the back corner of a lovely, little complex of only eight units. The location is unparalleled for quiet space with plentiful parking on wide and beautiful street with heritage properties and well-kept lawns and wonderful winter sunsets. There are local shops including baker, delicatessen, pharmacist, Post Office, and various restaurants Thai, Indian, Italian. The complex is surrounded by peaceful parks and green spaces.
You walk through the front door into a well sized, tiled living and kitchen area. The ceilings and frames have all just been painted internally and the property is presenting wonderfully.
The new kitchen is compact and functional, with new hoop pine fronts & top, double sink, new roller blind, and a stand-up stove. The bathroom is original but in good repair with a Roman bath/shower area, neat timber vanity, and separate toilet.
The long hallway leads onto two great bedroom areas, although you needn't restrict yourself to making them bedrooms. They are currently configured as one bedroom and one amazing second living area/study/hobby room.
The smaller bedroom has huge timber slat cupboards and size for a double bed. The larger bedroom sits at the back of the unit and has a large window looking out to the rear garden area, as well as a huge sliding glass door to your balcony. This is a delightful bonus to this apartment as you can enjoy tropical views from your own private area - which lights up with the morning sun and is then shaded throughout the day, keeping it lovely and cool.
The property is fully air conditioned with split systems to both bedrooms as well as the living area. The unit is also fully tiled with ceiling fans throughout, as well as having security screens to all windows and doors for added privacy. The apartment was recently painted internally including ceilings and it presents wonderfully.
The laundry is located outside in a secure store area behind the kitchen. There is a private balcony that stretches the length of the whole apartment. Due to the location of the unit, there is very little foot traffic passing by within the complex, making it a peaceful area to sit and enjoy the surrounds. There is one open allocated parking space at the back of the complex.
Built in the 1980s the complex boasts a peaceful atmosphere, tropical gardens and wildlife, beautiful pool area at the front of the property, and lovely residents (half tenanted and half owner occupied). There is an active body corporate committee, which helps to keep the levies and the complex in good order. Upgrades have been completed to garden borders and new planting including herb gardens and various fruits including lime, mandarin, native olive, paw paw, and pineapple.
You won't beat the location of this residential complex - a stone's throw to the Esplanade, airport, CBD, walking & cycle paths, and a short distance to amazing restaurants and cafes. No 5 Thomas Street is one part of a split street with small park dividing the two sections. The block of eight units terminates at the railway track by John Egan park, with two morning trains and two evening trains to Kuranda.
If you turn left out of the complex and cross the rail track and creek, you find a bike path to CBD and to Cultural Centre incl. Botanical Gardens, Theatre, Cairns North Medical Centre, North Cairns Sports Precinct (tennis, swimming, netball) and Arts venues (A short drive or 10 minutes on a bike). If you turn right out of Thomas Steet to cross Sheridan Street to find the northern terminus of the Esplanade, with amazing views out to the Coral Sea, planted gardens and parks with seating, barbeques and weekend fetes (10 mins on bike).
