8 Olympus Cres, Arcadia is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1950. The property has a land size of 1248m2 and floor size of 108m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in June 2024.
Olympus Crescent has long been a prized address on Magnetic Island being just a hop, skip and a jump to Alma Bay and a no-through road of beautiful classic homes. This home, known as 'Paradise' to those who may remember it from days gone by, is nestled on a large 1248m2 block with beautiful easy-care gardens and the backdrop of the National Park to the rear. The block provides ample scope for extending the property, adding a pool, or developing the garden further.
The home is a classic Queenslander design, perfect for the tropics, with the living area which wraps around three sides of the house fully enclosed with modern screened louvres so you can enjoy the space whatever the weather. There are two external decks too, both with lovely views of the garden and the trees and granite boulders that define Magnetic Island.
The two very spacious bedrooms open onto the living area through French doors, each of which have split system air conditioning. The bathroom has been stylishly renovated with an easy-access shower, vanity and separate toilet adjacent and the laundry is out of view in a large cupboard with additional linen and broom closets.
2.8kw of solar power help to keep the bills down and the house has been considerately renovated to retain its charm whilst adding the comforts of modern life and keeping maintenance to a minimum.
This property is a hidden gem that will be snapped up by the discerning buyer, a characterful cottage in an amazing location just two minutes' walk to picturesque Alma Bay, arguably the best swimming beach on the island. Just a three minute drive or a 20 minute scenic beachfront walk brings you to the busy ferry terminal hub from where it's just 20 minutes on the ferry to Townsville.
