85 Ireland Street, Oonoonba, Qld 4811

Legal-height houses are rarer than a four-leaf clover and especially ones with a great outdoor entertaining area, solar, a pool and powered 2-bay shed. If you've been looking for an inner-city house for your big family, we think 85 Ireland Street is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow you've been looking for!

Everyone wants to be closer to the CBD these days, but it's so hard to find a house that really suits modern families. We are so happy to have this one to show off because all the elements that Townsville residents tell us they are looking for are right here. Let's start downstairs.

Here you'll find a large, open-plan kitchen with a breakfast bar that seats 4 guests. If your family chef is cooking here, you will love that just outside is a spacious patio that's perfectly positioned to always be in the shade. Oonoonba gets a great breeze off of Cleveland Bay and this tropical plant accented space is the perfect place to chill.

Also downstairs you will find a large bedroom with a large built-in robe and tiled floors. If you have older kids, this works great as a master or … if you have your parents living with you, this bedroom has its own easy-access bathroom and they'll never have to climb the stairs in the evening.

The children's bedrooms are upstairs, however you might never get them out of the pool. This is one of the largest inground concrete pools we've seen and if the kids want to swim while you prep dinner, it's just a coooeeeee from the kitchen. The pool features a large shade sail so that the kids can keep out of the sun on the hottest summer days.

Speaking of playing in the backyard, you'll find a powered, 2-bay shed in the far back corner. This "man land" is accessible via side access along the right hand side of the home. The shed is a great place to store your tinny or your holden… or even have a pool table. There's plenty of room on the fully fenced 1012sqm block to store multiple vehicles securely behind the lockable gate.

On the top floor you will find 3 more bedrooms and a second living area. Here also are the home's original highly polished hardwood floors which add a classic sense of style. The family bathroom upstairs has a tub, perfect for smaller children in your family. This block is absolutely huge. If you've always dreamed of having space for the kids to build a treehouse… you're in luck!

Mature tropical plants and lush lawns beautify the property and the mango tree at the rear provides late-afternoon shade.

The location is fantastic. Despite its proximity to the river, this house did not experience any flooding during the 2019 flooding event. You're only a five minute drive from the Queensland Country Bank Stadium and Townsville's best private schools like Annandale Christian College and Townsville Grammar are within easy reach. The Townsville CBD is less than a 10 minute drive away.

Be quick! Finding a legal-height house with a pool and a shed are as challenging to find as a leprechaun.
