81 Wright Street, Wulguru, Qld, 4811

There​ ​is​ ​something​ ​to​ ​be​ ​said​ ​for​ ​a​ ​home​ ​that​ ​has​ ​been​ ​held​ ​by​ ​the​ ​same​ ​family​ ​for​ ​almost​ ​five​ ​decades,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​street​ ​where​ ​the​ ​neighbours​ ​have​ ​stayed​ ​for​ ​decades​ ​as​ ​well.

Positioned​ ​towards​ ​the​ ​quieter​ ​end​ ​of​ ​Wright​ ​Street,​ ​this​ ​well-maintained​ ​highset​ ​home​ ​has​ ​been​ ​in​ ​the​ ​same​ ​ownership​ ​since​ ​1978,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​neighbouring​ ​properties​ ​on​ ​either​ ​side​ ​have​ ​each​ ​been​ ​home​ ​to​ ​their​ ​owners​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​24​ ​years.

For​ ​us,​ ​having​ ​grown​ ​up​ ​in​ ​Townsville,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​fitting​ ​reflection​ ​of​ ​what​ ​has​ ​long​ ​made​ ​Wulguru​ ​such​ ​an​ ​appealing​ ​suburb:​ ​an​ ​established​ ​community​ ​where​ ​people​ ​put​ ​down​ ​roots,​ ​raise​ ​families​ ​and​ ​stay​ ​for​ ​generations.

Larger​ ​than​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the​ ​traditional​ ​three-bedroom​ ​highset​ ​homes​ ​of​ ​its​ ​era,​ ​81​ ​Wright​ ​Street​ ​retains​ ​much​ ​of​ ​its​ ​original​ ​character​ ​while​ ​offering​ ​a​ ​practical​ ​layout​ ​with​ ​plenty​ ​of​ ​space​ ​and​ ​versatility​ ​for​ ​its​ ​next​ ​owner.

Upstairs,​ ​all​ ​three​ ​bedrooms​ ​feature​ ​air​ ​conditioning,​ ​and​ ​two​ ​have​ ​built​ ​ins,​ ​whilst​ ​the​ ​generous​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​areas​ ​provide​ ​considerably​ ​more​ ​room​ ​than​ ​you​ ​might​ ​expect.​ ​A​ ​functional​ ​kitchen​ ​and​ ​bathroom​ ​complete​ ​the​ ​upper​ ​level,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​added​ ​convenience​ ​of​ ​internal​ ​stairs​ ​connecting​ ​both​ ​levels​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home.

Downstairs​ ​adds​ ​another​ ​dimension​ ​to​ ​the​ ​property,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​versatile​ ​room​ ​well​ ​suited​ ​as​ ​a​ ​rumpus,​ ​second​ ​entertaining​ ​area,​ ​hobby​ ​space​ ​or​ ​retreat.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​also​ ​an​ ​internal​ ​laundry,​ ​extensive​ ​under-house​ ​space​ ​and​ ​a​ ​large​ ​two-bay​ ​garage.

Outside,​ ​the​ ​fully​ ​fenced​ ​658sqm​ ​allotment​ ​is​ ​relatively​ ​low​ ​maintenance,​ ​with​ ​side​ ​access​ ​to​ ​the​ ​backyard​ ​and​ ​a​ ​small​ ​shed​ ​positioned​ ​in​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​corner.

Comfortable​ ​and​ ​functional​ ​as​ ​it​ ​stands,​ ​while​ ​still​ ​offering​ ​plenty​ ​of​ ​opportunity​ ​for​ ​a​ ​new​ ​owner​ ​to​ ​modernise​ ​and​ ​make​ ​it​ ​their​ ​own​ ​over​ ​time,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​a​ ​home​ ​that​ ​should​ ​appeal​ ​equally​ ​to​ ​growing​ ​families,​ ​first-home​ ​buyers​ ​and​ ​investors.
