Sustainability meets great family living near the river

Enter the leafy front garden, and you'll be enchanted by the sense of peace and tranquility. Stairs lead to the front verandah - enjoy quiet times here in the cool breeze. The gardens are eye catching in their green and natural perfection. The back garden presents a relaxing environment shaded by a mango tree, with various fresh fruit practically at your fingertips. You'll find orange, grapefruit, banana, lime, mandarin, pawpaw, passionfruit - a veritable fruit salad in your garden!

The high set Queenslander, once home to an Air Force wing commander, is superior to most in the area. It has been a wonderful family home, being so close to four different schools, and has provided the children that grew up there a memorable childhood, with numerous sporting and water activities all within half a kilometer of home.

Although the whole house, upstairs and down, enjoys a great breeze, the bedrooms are fully air-conditioned - a known necessity for the hot summers of Townsville. On the subject of summer, the house has been through many cyclone seasons and has come out with barely a scratch, if that; the 1970s home is basically immune to cyclones with a cyclone strengthened internal spine and removable cyclone shutters fitted to all windows of the house. The polished timber floors throughout look great and are easy to look after, and security to all windows mean you can enjoy the breezes to the full. The area under the house has many applications - it's the perfect man or kids' cave, and the workshop has seen a canoe and a rowboat built.
