Set in one of Townsville's most historically significant and tightly held inner-city suburbs, this remarkable two-storey residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a home unlike anything else in South Townsville. In a suburb renowned for its charming timber Queenslanders, this substantial double red brick home stands as a striking and enduring alternative. Robustly constructed and rich in character, the property combines generous proportions, architectural individuality and a highly flexible floor plan that can easily adapt to a variety of lifestyles, including an ideal work-from-home configuration. Originally constructed in 1983 as an administration building adjoining a bakery site where various bakeries are believed to have operated from the 1950s through to the late 1990s, the property forms part of South Townsville's fascinating story. Some long-time locals fondly recall family members working at the bakery and bringing home freshly baked bread and cakes at the end of their shifts, a reminder of a time when many residents lived and worked within the suburb itself. Thoughtfully converted into a private residence in 2002, the home now offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and secure accommodation for two vehicles on a fully fenced 506 m² allotment. The lower level features polished concrete floors, while the exposed brickwork, glass bricks, ductwork and steel elements create an understated industrial-inspired aesthetic with enormous scope to further enhance into a stunning "industrial chic" residence. A dramatic oversized stairwell adds to the sense of scale and architectural interest throughout the home. Outside, a covered rear entertaining area overlooks a private, low-maintenance native garden with a dry creek bed theme. Fully fenced and leafy, the backyard offers a peaceful retreat requiring minimal water and upkeep. Perfectly positioned just moments from Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Palmer Street, Victoria Park and the Townsville CBD, the location places the very best of Townsville at your doorstep.
