There are riverfront residences that capture just what it means to truly be a part of your surroundings and capitalise on the picturesque views on offer, and then there is number 107 Marabou Drive that knocks it right out of the park! There is little wonder this magnificent family home has not been on the market for over 40 years, and in its time has become somewhat of a landmark property in one of Townsville's most sought-after positions along this beautiful river. The crim-safe screened front verandah is almost 70m2 in size and takes in 180-degree river and park views like no other property along the riverfront. It is the perfect spot for a quiet afternoon BBQ, or the largest of family gatherings which it has done so effortlessly for this family for so long. If you are a family looking for your forever home that even boasts a fully detached and self-contained granny flat/studio apartment, then your search can end right here. With the current owner making the inevitable downsize, this remarkable property presents the opportunity of a lifetime, so don't delay your call. This is one special property!
