A Grand Residence with Unrivalled Views, Timeless Elegance & Rare Potential
This truly magnificent property represents a rare opportunity to own one of Townsville's most iconic homes, perfectly positioned on a commanding elevated location atop a natural outcrop of Castle Hill. With sweeping views over Magnetic Island, Cleveland Bay, The Strand, and the city skyline, this remarkable residence offers the very best in lifestyle, location, and potential.
Spanning two expansive levels, the home features a grand open-plan dining and living area, as well as a stunning chapel/additional living space adorned with striking arched stained-glass windows. Multiple wraparound verandas capture the charm and breezy essence of classic Queenslander architecture.
Offering a total of five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home includes four spacious bedrooms within the main residence, plus a fully self-contained bungalow with its own lounge, bathroom, and bedroom - which enjoys a breathtaking outlook over the Townsville cityscape. The lower level also offers a generous rumpus room and plenty of lush lawn space for kids to run and play. While the bungalow and rumpus room are not officially classified as bedrooms, they provide the flexibility to be used as such - giving the home the potential for up to seven bedrooms if desired. Secure parking is available for four vehicles, all located behind a private, lockable gate.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed galley-style kitchen, thoughtfully positioned to connect with both living and dining zones. With sweeping views in every direction - including out the kitchen windows - it's the perfect space to prepare meals while enjoying the surrounding beauty. Whether you're hosting elegant dinners or sharing casual family meals, this kitchen is designed for both functionality and enjoyment.
Rich in character and charm, the home masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship with modern conveniences. Features such as high ceilings, detailed cornices, polished timber floors, original leadlight and stained-glass windows, and even an original wine cellar speak to the home's heritage. These timeless elements are complemented by tasteful updates including renovated bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry, along with LED lighting, air conditioning, and a full security system - ensuring comfort, style, and peace of mind.
Outdoors, the lifestyle continues with expansive verandas perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the panoramic views and cool Castle Hill breezes. The established gardens offer lush lawns ideal for family gatherings, children's birthday parties, or quiet moments among nature. A sparkling inground pool completes this exceptional outdoor setting, providing a refreshing retreat during Townsville's long, warm seasons.
Set on a commanding 2,054sqm parcel, this property also holds exciting potential beyond residential use. With its size, character, and prime location, it offers the rare chance to explore a boutique lifestyle business - such as a charming bed and breakfast, intimate wedding venue, or exclusive event space (STCA).
Located within walking distance to The Strand, the CBD, local cafés, restaurants, and some of Townsville's most sought-after schools, 4 Hale Street is more than just a home - it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a truly exceptional property. An inspection is essential to appreciate everything this home has to offer.
