This property and its leafy riverside location, give true meaning to the term "family home" as both provide the perfect place to raise a family and provide a lifestyle of comfort and convenience with both recreation and amenity virtually on your doorstep. The home has been extensively renovated and highly maintained in the current owner's tenure and was a place they called home for many years, which is what led to the extensive renovations in the first place. The end result is a property that has been brought completely into modern times and also a very high state of repair, meaning the new owners can simply set and forget and not lift a finger for years to come if they don't have the urge. Or alternatively, there is still scope to leave your own mark on the property by adding the pool or even a larger shed and with the home positioned in the middle of the block and secured from the street via a fence and motorised gate, you can utilise both the front and rear yards in equal measure to really complete the picture. With homes of such high standard and in such a leafy, convenient location in short supply, this home is not going to last long in this strong market, and would no doubt also make a shrewd investment if you are looking to get into Townsville's booming property market as there would be no shortage of potential tenants for this desirable location. Surrounded by other quality homes and with the riverfront just across the road, the walking tracks and parks are in abundant supply and just a short stroll away as is Riverway with its pools, café, and playgrounds, the list goes on!
