This fully air-conditioned home nestled within the gorgeous locale of hillside Belgian Gardens was built in 1950 and has the most unique feature of having a babbling brook running through the centre of the allotment with your own timber bridge to walk over. The sound of water is so peaceful and tranquil you can be forgiven for thinking you are in a rainforest. Sit and enjoy the water views with a glass of wine late afternoon or sit with a cup of coffee in the mornings, call it meditating.

The home is constructed from timber in the days when there was lots of Maryborough hardwood to use. This home has been built to withstand the North Queensland cyclones, and the high ceilings and timber floors are typical of our Queenslanders, built to make life comfortable during our summer months. This home has windows and louvres around the whole perimeter of the home and is designed to capture the prevailing sea breezes which helps your power bill.

Belgian Gardens is a very sought-after suburb due to its central location surrounded by all amenities. The Townsville Airport is only minutes away. This suburb is also very much in demand by families with young children as five minutes down the end of the street is the Belgian Gardens State School which has a very notable reputation for being one of the best primary schools in Townsville. Just behind this property are stairs named Jacob’s Ladder for the exercise enthusiast to climb up Castle Hill. At the end of Chubb Street is a butcher, convenience store, liquor store, and Thai take away plus a service station across the road. The current owner has done some work to the interior of the home creating a walk-in wardrobe in the master bedroom and had the front and back stairs replaced.

The kitchen is modern and spacious with an abundance of bench and storage space and a built-in dishwasher. The open plan living flows out through double sliding doors onto a timber deck where you will sit and eat your meals during this beautiful weather we are experiencing in North Queensland. The deck is large enough in length and width to entertain lots of family and friends while overlooking the tropical back yard. Located on a corner position this home has no neighbours on the living side of the home, and due to the large nature strip out the front of the property, the neighbours across the road are a long way off. There are also no neighbours to see from the back deck, you would be forgiven to feel like you are in your own private tropical paradise. This property does have to be seen to appreciate its uniqueness in both location and the home itself. There is another kitchen built in underneath the home as well as a bathroom with laundry and a spare room all serviceable and functioning, however not legal height.

The property was not affected by the February, 2019 weather event. You are only minutes away from The Strand promenade with its popular cafes and restaurants, Jezzine Barracks and within close proximity to both private and public primary and secondary schools.
