Steeped in history, grace and charm...

As you walk down the path to the front door, you realize you're in for something special. Formerly St Andrews church in South Townsville, this extraordinary building is now a delightful home. The seclusion is hard to believe, just minutes from bustling shopping centres and the city. Stairs lead to tall double entry doors, where you'll be intrigued by the patterned timber floor, and the arch to the vast living/dining room, where you will undoubtedly be impressed. The feel is not ostentatious, but rather serene and restful: the ceilings are a wondrous 4.4m high, the room is filled with light, and the proportions are most pleasing. Tall French doors open to the side verandah, which is totally private and surrounded by greenery. Enjoy meals or drinks with friends, or curl up with your favourite book here - whatever you choose to do, it will be more enjoyable here than anywhere else! Pavers and pebbles lead to the back of the house, where there's a shed and clothesline, right round to the front door, or take the steps to the pool to rejuvenate and refresh in this most secluded setting.

Back inside the home, you'll find the open plan galley kitchen is a chef's dream. It has a servery to the entertaining deck, loads of preparation space, tall pantry cupboards and gas stove. The third bedroom is to the back of the home, and has mirror robes and ensuite bathroom. At the far end of the living/dining space are the other bedrooms and bathroom. The second bedroom is currently used as a study, but iwll easily accommodate a Queen sized bed.

The master bedroom is most restful, coloured soft grey and looking out to the garden through tall arched windows. THe bathroom is a delight with distinctive coloured glass windows, which throw the most wonderful light to help you wake up in the morning. There's a beautiful bath to soak in, separate shower and vanity - it's a different world altogether.

The laundry/utility room is also at this end of the home.

This is a distinctive home, like no other. The sensation is one of seclusion and tranquility, yet you're just minutes from the river and park, and only 5 minutes from the city. A remarkable lifestyle in a spectacular tropical setting is guaranteed to the new owners of this amazing property.
