The tranquility of living in the bush; so close to city

Set at the end of the street, with native bush on two boundaries, this home is a true haven. You'll see butterflies, dwarf tree frogs, birdlife and maybe even the blue-tongued lizard in your own garden and in the trees beyond. It's hard to believe you're just minutes from town.

The home sits privately behind the picket fence, and offers a great relaxed lifestyle. The massive kitchen is the hub of the home, with metres of wide benchspace and heaps of natural light. It is open plan to the dining/family room, which extends from the formal living area at the entrance to the home. The family room opens to the garden and secluded pool complex. This is totally private, with its fences to native bush on both sides.

Also downstairs, there are two generous sized bedrooms and a study, and the family bathroom. The laundry is off the kitchen, and opens to the practically pebbled path where the clothesline is located.

Upstairs are three more bedrooms - the master with a door to the upper deck, and the perfect spot to take the first cup of tea of the day, while enjoying sea breezes and a most restful outlook. Two other bedrooms have delightful views to greenery, and they also share the two-way bathroom.

The home has been freshly painted, and new contemporary light fittings have been added throughout. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and the home has been designed to catch wonderful cross breezes. The corner 701 sq m block is fully irrigated and fenced. A driveway is external to the fencing, and leads to the huge double garage. So you can park the car without Rover escaping!

Pallarenda has been described as a great country town on the edge of Townsville. Come and see how wonderful life can be in this seaside suburb in the bush.
