What a location. Just over ¼ acre (1017 sqm) right on the riverfront esplanade. It does get better than this but not at this price. The house started life probably in the late 60's and has been expanded and improved in recent years to maximise the amenity. The front deck is where you will spend 90% of your time as you sit watching the boats sail and motor by. It is fully under roof and has (very expensive) plantation shutters right around. I can imagine breakfast, lunch, and dinner on this deck, probably a few quiet ones at happy hour. Inside the home has a modern kitchen with gas and electric appliances as well as a barely used stainless steel dishwasher. The bedrooms are decent size, and the bathroom has been modernised. Air conditioning has also been replaced and services are throughout the home. A double garage plus workshop with bathroom have been added to the back of the block with room to house all the toys. There is also a full-length slab and annexe at the back of the house to cover the extra motorbikes! If you have a caravan or boat, there is plenty of room down both sides of the house. This home absolutely suits a downsizing retiree. There is no doubt that this property is all about position. It has a stunning view and is just down the street from the cycleway/ pedestrian path that runs along the river and into the town centre. It is perfectly comfortable and has all the amenities for a relaxed Far North Queensland lifestyle. It is the kind of property that in 10 years' time you will think you were a genius for buying.
