A home should do more than just tick the boxes and put a roof over your head. It should ignite a passion for your life, knowing that no matter what the day throws at you, there's an oasis of solitude, happiness, and character awaiting you after work. Welcome, to 13 Bayswater Terrace, Hyde Park.

The owners of this grand home had one thing in mind when meticulously renovating: quality over all else. Walking to the front door, the imposing double height column and classic Italian style curved brick wall lead you into a generous entry foyer. Most of your entertaining can be done downstairs, keeping guests from wondering through your home. Down here there's a pool room, theatre, spa room, bedroom, bathroom plus another living area. Cat and dog lovers rejoice; there's even a pet door to your best friend's very own secure outdoor area.

Walking up the grand staircase with its authentic chandelier will continue to pique your interest; an office overlooking the gardens, a cosy reading nook and a large open plan living area means each member of the family will have their favourite spot to relax after work or school.

The generous-sized kitchen has been built to impress, with stone benchtops and a butler's pantry. It's got the wow factor but also has a lot of essential boxes ticked like a servery window through to living room, easy access to the dining room and back deck plus a large window overlooking the back yard. The bedrooms are situated away from the living area and are all a great size with built-ins, while the master has a walk-in robe as well. The family-friendly bathroom has a shower plus bath and a separate toilet. The entire house is fitted out with split system air conditioning, not that you'll need it with the never-ending breezes. Unlike most properties these days, storage has not been forgotten. Both inside and out, there's plenty of room for everything you have and then some.

This is the true Australian dream of a big yard and plentiful gardens, blended with the low maintenance and time-sensitive constraints of the modern world. Automatic irrigation easily switches between town or bore water and keeps the yard looking epic for when the garden lighting kicks in at sunset. Pick your own lunch from the orchard with a selection of avocado, mandarin, star fruit, custard apple, orange and lemon and relax after work in the large entertaining area downstairs or the deck upstairs as the kids run around on the grass and the playground-style soft fall entertaining area.

Welcome to a life where weekends will be spent enjoying a game of pool, sitting in the indoor spa, enjoying Netflix in the theatre room or honing your pizza cooking skills in the massive built-in authentic pizza oven. The automatic front gate provides secure and easy access to the double garage and the wide driveway leading to the high clearance shed complete with service pit, ready to park the boat, caravan or whatever else takes your fancy. Next to that there's a large shed to put all the tools and bits and pieces plus a garden shed nearby.

Hyde Park is known for being a special pocket of homes central to all the best opportunities Townsville has to offer.
With multiple private schools, medical facilities and more close by, it's no wonder that this area attracts good quality home owners.

If the world has taught us anything recently, it's that life is too short to not prioritise time with family. This home is the perfect place to ensure that you're looking after your tribe.
