Bordering the foothills of Castle Hill and brimming with traditional character and unmatched charm, this historic home has stood proudly at the end of Margaret Street for over 100 years. A quintessential, classic Queenslander in every way, this landmark residence is a piece of West End history. Framed with immaculately maintained tropical landscaping and a picturesque front porch, this home exudes all the warmth and character of a time passed, whilst exuberating the perfect relationship between sought-after heritage features, mixed with high-end contemporary, modern day living. Welcome Home.
When you arrive at the property, prepare to have your breath taken away by the sheer attention to detail this home exudes. A delightful picket fence and quirky geometrical stained timber deck are only a taste of what lies behind the door. Bespoke detailing greets you in full force upon entry, with a pressed tin archway, cladded walls, polished timber flooring and ornate fretwork with ceiling roses. The crisp, light tones of the combined lounge and dining welcome in the natural light and set the scene for what the rest of this home offers.
The three bedrooms on the right-hand side are all generous in proportion and air-conditioned to stay cool in summer, two featuring built-in robes and the front room boasting direct French-door access to the front verandah. The bathroom is centrally located to service the family and is an absolute spectacle with bright white tiles, a gorgeous double vanity with arched mirrors, a large, double walk-in shower, and an adjoining laundry for convenience. Continuing through the space, the end of the hallway brings a pleasant surprise, opening into an unexpected, light-filled haven you could only dream of.
A modern extension to the home combines a contemporary kitchen and living space, bordered by floor to ceiling glass windows and sliding doors leading straight onto the split-level timber deck beyond. Entertaining never looked better, framed with tropical landscaping inviting the outside in and boasting a multitude of options for the whole family, whether a cooler winter night calls for a fire in the pit, or an evening glass of wine compliments alfresco dining under the stars, the choice is easy. Furthermore, the shed has been converted into the perfect studio space for larger families or guests alike. With double side gate access and plenty of luscious, grassed space, there is still plenty of remaining room around the home for whatever your heart desires.
Perfectly located only a stone's throw from Castletown Shopping Centre and the Townsville Showgrounds, this home is only a 5-minute drive to the Townsville CBD, the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, and the Reid Park Pits. For the fitness enthusiast, Castle Hill houses many of Townsville's favourite walking tracks, available just steps from your front door, while the wonders of The Strand, Palmers and Flinders Street are not far for an afternoon walk with a view or a well-deserved restaurant dinner. Whatever you are looking for, 18 Margaret Street simply ticks all the boxes and allows you to enjoy the luxury of your own personal paradise without being too far from all Townsville has to offer.
