7 Petrie Way Idalia, QLD 4811

Behind its private setting is a home filled with character and spaces that just make you want to stay awhile. From busy weekday mornings to relaxed Sunday afternoons, this is a home designed to make family life a breeze.

Perfectly positioned close to local schools and just a short stroll from the beautiful lakes, this is a location that makes family living feel easy. Morning walks, afternoon bike rides with the kids, weekends outdoors - it's all right on your doorstep. That's the lifestyle on offer here. And when you come home, there's plenty to love inside too.

In the heart of the home, cathedral ceilings rise above the main living zone, while gorgeous French doors create a stunning connection between this area and another beautiful living space overlooking the back yard which can be adapted to your needs. A quiet retreat, media room or kids playroom, the choice is yours. The kitchen sits right at the heart of it all, with an island breakfast bar, walk-in pantry and an abundance of natural light.

There are four comfortable bedrooms with built-in storage, air-con and new carpets, while the master gives parents their own retreat with triple built-ins and your own ensuite.

Outside, there's plenty of practicality too. Irrigated gardens make looking after the yard easier, solar panels help with the household running costs, and double gate side access gives you room for the boat or trailer. And for the busy family, location matters. You're just minutes from the CBD, Townsville University Hospital, James Cook University and major shopping, with schools and beautiful local lakes within walking distance.

This home has been meticulously looked after, and has recently had a refresh with interior professional paint and new carpets in all the bedrooms. The backyard is private and secure, with just the perfect amount of lawn for the kids and pets to enjoy. This is a perfect low maintenance lifestyle property for the busy couple or family.

This is a home that might just surprise you - and I think you're going to love it.
