Close to the CBD is the place to be - after all why would you live on the other side of town when you can be a hop, skip and jump from Townsville's entertaining precinct?

23 Queens Road has hit the market for the first time in 34 years and is within walking distance to local schools, V8 track and the new stadium. It is even close enough to the boat ramp to launch for an afternoon fish or mud crab trip.

The potential here is endless - there is room for a large shed, a deck, extra rooms or a swimming pool. The added bonus of rear lane access means you will always be able to get out the back if you build out the entire front the home.

The house itself was totally unaffected by last year's 1 in 500 year flood so there is no need to panic. Make no mistake the owner is on the market to sell and ready for you to inspect this weekend!
