Anybody familiar with Magnetic Island will tell you that Olympus Crescent in Arcadia is one of, if not, the best addresses on the Island. This is where you will find Capricornia Cottage, a gorgeously restored heritage Queenslander cottage which has now come onto the market.
With its louvered walls and casement windows, the house has been thoroughly renovated (completed in May 2009) with great sympathy to the style of the original dwelling.

While a sense of history and tropical style is maintained, the best of modern facilities are built in. Two renovated bathrooms service both master and guest bedrooms and, although a split system reverse cycle air conditioning is installed throughout the house, it is rarely turned on as ceiling fans and cool breezes keep the house cool during the summer months. The kitchen is completely new and, as Capricornia Cottage has been rewired and new copper plumbing installed, everything is ready for you to move in today.

Residents spend most of their time living outdoors under the covered porch in summer and in the back courtyard. The front garden is a wonderful sun trap in winter with the last of the rays not disappearing until late in the afternoon.

The block is a very easy to maintain 359 square metres with both paved and fully planted gardens.
Just a hop, skip and a jump away is the year-round swimming beach of Alma Bay, a beautiful protected curve of sand framed by granite boulders and towering hoop pines.
Magnetic Island features 23 beaches and bays and two-thirds of the Island is designated National Park. Just 20 minutes from Townsville by fast ferry, the Island is Townsville’s best suburb and so convenient to all of the city’s amenities.
