36 Howitt St, North Ward is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House and was built in 1950. The property has a land size of 601m2 and floor size of 135m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in January 2021.
I don't think it's possible to get a better location in townsville and you probably won't get another opportunity to buy this house again in our lifetimes.
This is the beating heart of our beautiful city right here. The best of the best of what we have to offer. The beach, the parks, Jezzine barracks, walking tracks, good food, beer and wine a plenty. Literally just walk out your front door and you're there.
From the front deck you move through the front doors and to the open plan living and dining area with views across to Jezzine barracks park.
The house itself upstairs is perfectly designed for an abundance of natural light and beautiful sea breezes, but there's split system air conditioning throughout just in case.
All 3 of the bedrooms are a good size for this style of home and spill into the central space with some separation walls for privacy.
The kitchen is quite large, is made of solid wood, and comes with a breakfast bar for when you just need to quickly eat and fly out the door.
Downstairs is surprisingly large and in its current form reminds me a bit of a ww2 bunker with solid concrete floors. But with just a little bit of work I think this could be an epic space for a pool room, bar and movie space, and even comes with another little shower and toilet area as well as a huge sunroom under the deck.
Yes it's an older house and it needs a little bit of love but with this one you're really buying the location.
The back yard is fully fenced with some established gardens and is safe for kids and pets to play, while the front yard is currently open but it allows for the ability to fence in the whole 601sqm of land if you wanted to.
I want you to imagine what your life could look like. You wake up, walk outside, go for a run across the parks to the running tracks that take all the way you around Jezzine barracks. Then hit the rock pool, the ocean, or tabrook pool for a swim. You dry yourself off walk across the road to grab your coffee and breakfast before you start your day. And you haven't had to use your car once yet.
This is a lifestyle property and it doesn't get any better in Townsville than this. Whether you're looking to retire, keep it as an investment, or looking to start a family lifestyle, this house is the one for you.
Do not miss out on this one!!!
