Colonial style cottage in the highly sought-after suburb of Douglas. Three built in bedrooms, two-way ensuite bathroom off the master, separate toilet, one bathroom, lock-up garage, Suitable for the first home buyer, retiree, or as an exceptional investment opportunity. Conveniently located close to Townsville’s education, health, and defence hubs, with James Cook University (2.5km), Townsville University Hospital (3km), and Lavarack Army Barracks (5km), all within a short commute. No renovations needed.
Townsville’s current vacancy rate is less than 1%, and that is not predicted to rise within the next 12 months. As a result, this outstanding property has the potential to be leased for approximately $400-$430 p/w, with the prospect of a positive cash flow. In addition, the recent property upgrades make it eligible for DHA, long-term rental contracts.
This turn-key home is a showcase of North Queensland’s affordable property market, and is a perfect example of the value-for-money bargains that are still available to savvy buyers.
