Budget tight and want to live close to the action, this is a must see. This house has loads of character and it survived cyclone Tracy.

It has a heap of potential for a home renovator with a bohemian flair or an investor looking for good capital growth in a highly desired suburb. It has a tenant in place until Jan 2013.

The 735m2 block has paths winding through established gardens, a kidney shaped plunge pool, two garden sheds, double carport and a sliding gate at the front of the property.

The iconic Parap markets are just down the road, close to schools, shops, Casino and minutes from the city.
