Situated in a quiet yet central pocket of South Townsville, this spacious and secluded two-storey home in a block of four provides a perfect opportunity for a relaxed tropical lifestyle away from Townsville’s increasing hustle and bustle.
A sought-after neighbourhood
Built at the turn of the 21st century, the Tully Place townhouse complex is located in the Townsville City Plan’s South Townsville Character Residential D Precinct and is opposite the heritage-listed Townsville South State School. Despite Tully Place’s construction in rendered block, thoughtful design choices were made before construction. Unlike many generic Townsville apartment and townhouse blocks, this complex was specifically planned to comply with many of the character D precinct’s goals.
The townhouses have light and airy open plan layouts and large windows; they are organised towards the rear of the block with the front units preserving the leafy residential streetscape; the gable roof pitch alignment and corrugated metal design mirror the angle of nearby properties; the continuous eves minimise the effects of rainfall on the building and provide shade; the setback of the front units from the street complies with other Tully Street residences and maintains the precinct’s “street rhythm”.
This is your opportunity to join other South Townsville property owners who have paid a premium to enjoy the suburb’s leafy historical charm. The design of this property integrates seamlessly with the sought-after South Townsville precinct D’s neighbourhood character, and this ensures that its appeal and value will be long-lasting. Also, its climate-resilient design of roof pitch, corrugated metal roofing and continuous eves allow it to withstand Townsville’s extreme tropical weather of intense, sunshine, heavy rainfall and high humidity.
