Great spot to splash the cash
IF you have half-a-million spare, it might be worth splashing it in Smithfield.
A five-bedroom home at 52 Sidlaw St on a large 886sq m block has recently been listed by McGrath Estate Agents with a price tag of more than $519,000.
Sales agent Megs Walker said the property had been built in a sought-after location, close to schools and one of the top Australian universities.
“This large family fivebedroom home has a superb location which is close to JCU and school catchment zones,” Ms Walker said.
“It has a sprawling floorplan over a single level with multiple living areas.
“It would suit the astute investor or large family.
“The sheer size of the house just stands out and the location is central to the northern beaches and city.”
Ms Walker said the design of the house had incorporated seamless indoor and outdoor living.
“It’s the perfect Far North Queensland lifestyle complete with a lagoon-style pool.
“This is a home built with comfort and entertaining in mind – from the two separate lounge areas, the open-plan living and dining area and the extremely inviting outdoor entertaining area complete with in-ground pool, this is a property that will accommodate even the largest of social gatherings with grace and ease.
“It has been designed with the perfect aspect and the glass sliders open the home up to provide a seamless connection to the large rear entertaining area.”
The fully-fenced block has a stunning 9m in-ground pool and alfresco area overlooking lush gardens.
