There aren't too many streets in Townsville as iconic as Alexandra Street, North Ward and this gorgeous Queenslander captures the essence of what homes in this street are famous for. Dating back to an estimated circa early 1900s, it has been in the current owner's tenure for 35 years and in that time, has not only been lovingly maintained, there have been some quality improvements too, including a re-roof and verandah extension that allowed the downstairs bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom to be created, which adds an extra element of practicality to this charming period home. Sitting on the high side of the street and enjoying the beautiful sea breezes this location is famous for, the rear of the home and yard take in the glorious aspect up to our other iconic Townsville landmark, Castle Hill. With gleaming polished timber floors upstairs, soaring ceilings, as well as tongue and groove timber and fretwork throughout, this home is completely comfortable and ready to occupy right now as it is, or, if you wanted to take the home to the another level, this location can handle whatever budget you decide to muster up, such is the demand for this area due to the incredible lifestyle on offer. If you have been searching for that perfect place to call your own, you simply must inspect this stunning Queenslander.
