GREAT FAMILY HOME MADE EVEN BETTER

A Far North builder has given his beloved White Rock property – featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a granny flat, pool and spectacular mountain views – a good spruce-up before reluctantly putting it on the market

A CAIRNS builder has put his beloved home on the market after 15 years.

Heath Christensen has spent thousands of dollars on this home over the past few months by adding all-new carpet and tiles throughout, as well as a repaint, new built-in robes, a new walkin wardrobe and near-new appliances.

The kids have grown up and the family has decided to build a new home, which has now been completed, leaving the previous home at 19 Travolta Close at White Rock ready for a new family to move in.

RE/MAX agent Udo Jattke said the house was already beautiful when Mr Christensen bought it, and the renovations he and his building company did had only made it better.

“He put a brand new floor tile upstairs, repainted it all, added brand new robes and linen cupboards and changed all the lighting to LED lights,” Mr Jattke said.

This home has a double carport, undercover lockup for the boat or camper van, a resort-style pool on 1164sq m of land, and a small workshop under the house.

Mr Jattke said it was an ideal environment for a young family to raise some kids, as Mr Christensen did.

“They lived there over 10 years; the kids played in the yard and in the street and he always felt comfortable being there,” he said.

“Some people think of White Rock as having a bad reputation, but what you’re getting with this is a nice family home in a street with quality homes at bargain prices.”

One of the main features and bonuses in this home is that it has a complete granny flat or teenage getaway unit with its own bathroom and kitchen opening on to the pool area.

The property offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms in a 400sq m (under roof) home on a 1164sq m private allotment with views. It has an amazing view of the mountains.

It is on the market for offers over $550,000 and open for inspection today 2-2.45pm.To find out more, call Mr Jattke on 0417 740 550.

“There’s no family or tenants living there at the moment, so it’s ready to move into the minute someone buys it,” he said.
