There is something immediately welcoming about a home that has been thoughtfully cared for, improved and enjoyed over time, and 24 Halstead Street is exactly that.
Set behind a private frontage on an established 809sqm allotment, this beautifully presented high-set home combines the warmth and character of traditional timber living with modern updates, generous outdoor spaces and a backyard designed for the North Queensland lifestyle. Offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living and entertaining areas, a swimming pool and exceptional storage underneath, it is a home with far more to discover than first impressions suggest.
Upstairs, polished timber floors and crisp, light interiors create an inviting sense of warmth throughout. The separate living room is comfortable and relaxed, with beautiful timber flooring, air conditioning and abundant natural light, while the adjoining dining area provides plenty of room for family meals and larger gatherings.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been updated with clean contemporary cabinetry, extensive bench space, electric cooking and excellent storage. Its connection with the living and dining zones makes the layout practical for everyday family life while still retaining the individual character of each room.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, with the main bedroom positioned separately and complemented by its own ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom, which incorporates a bathtub and modern finishes.
An enormous covered alfresco zone extends across the rear of the home, creating a versatile space for entertaining, weekend lunches or simply relaxing while overlooking the garden. Beneath the residence is substantial storage, laundry facilities and further lockable storage rooms, providing the kind of functionality that is increasingly difficult to find.
Beyond this, the backyard opens into a genuinely beautiful outdoor setting. Established tropical gardens frame generous lawn areas, while mature trees provide both shade and character. A dedicated firepit creates another relaxed gathering space, and the swimming pool is privately positioned within its own landscaped setting, complete with a substantial adjoining outdoor seating area.
Gulliver remains one of Townsville's established inner suburbs, valued for its central position and convenient access to schools, parks, shopping and surrounding employment and education precincts. Townsville City Council identifies Gulliver as a predominantly low-rise residential suburb with local shops, schools, parks and public transport, while its central position provides easy connectivity to neighbouring suburbs and major amenities.
This is a home that feels wonderfully established. The gardens, entertaining spaces and pool give it an almost private-retreat quality, while inside, the warmth of the timber floors and character detailing create a home that feels comfortable from the moment you arrive. For families wanting space without sacrificing convenience, 24 Halstead Street offers an impressive combination of character, practicality and lifestyle.
