Due to a change in the new owner's situation, this gracious Queenslander is looking for a new owner to come in and enjoy this highly sought after location, as well as put their own stamp on this remarkable property to ensure its rich history stands proudly for another 100 years. Stunning in its current format and having undergone updates over the years by the previous owners, this property still affords the opportunity to carry out a rejuvenation to personalise in your own tastes, and also write your own family's chapters in this remarkable Townsville property story that has connections to World War 2, where it was used as a temporary headquarters by the 5th Division of the Australian Army. Sprawled across 1,527m2 of lush lawns and gardens, privacy is assured as this grand lady is set back from the street behind a white picket fence and electric gates with dual driveway access onto the circular driveway that is a prominent feature of the front yard. This area not only makes a grand entry statement, it is also highly practical as it provides plenty of secure off-street parking for those families with teenagers or twenty somethings with multiple cars to house. With the current owners requiring a definite sale come auction day, all interest is invited immediately and offers prior to auction will be considered. So, please don't delay your enquiry, this is one opportunity you do not want to let slip by!
