Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
QLDPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $535/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material
Listed by McDonough Property TownsvillePositioned beneath the iconic silhouette of Castle Hill, in one of North Ward's most coveted and tightly held enclaves, this extraordinary Queenslander represents a rare opportunity to secure a residence of true distinction. Privately elevated on a generous 730m² hillside allotment, this magnificent circa 1910 home is a celebration of timeless architecture, refined craftsmanship, and sophisticated modern living - a residence of this calibre is seldom offered and even harder to replace.
From the moment you arrive, the home commands attention with its graceful façade, traditional wrap-around veranda, and unmistakable Queenslander charm. Stepping through the grand entrance, you are immediately immersed in a residence rich with character and enduring sophistication, where original architectural details have been beautifully preserved and enhanced for contemporary living.
Soaring ceilings, exquisite timber detailing, rich timber flooring, plantation shutters throughout, and the impressive statement staircase create a sense of grandeur rarely experienced in modern homes. Every element reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era, offering a level of warmth, character, and sophistication that can only be achieved through time.
Thoughtfully designed across two expansive levels, the home provides an exceptional sense of space and versatility, perfectly suited to families, guests, and multi-generational living. The lower level introduces three beautifully appointed rooms, each opening directly onto the expansive front veranda and capturing natural light, garden outlooks, and refreshing breezes.
A private guest suite provides a luxurious retreat with its own bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and dedicated storage, while the additional rooms offer endless flexibility as an executive office, entertainer's retreat, or additional accommodation.
Beyond the living spaces, the lower level continues to impress with a dedicated drying room, laundry, courtyard, extensive storage, and an expansive undercover entertaining area - a rare offering of space and functionality that extends well beyond the traditional Queenslander footprint.
Ascending the grand staircase, the home reveals its true showpiece. The upper-level embraces breathtaking elevated views towards Castle Hill, creating an extraordinary backdrop to the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces.
Designed as the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is a statement in both scale and sophistication. An oversized island bench with integrated storage, generous breakfast bar seating, premium finishes, and exceptional preparation space create an impressive setting for both intimate family meals and grand entertaining.
The living and dining areas seamlessly transition outdoors through expansive bi-fold stacking doors, opening onto the rear veranda where elevated breezes, lush surrounds, and views towards Castle Hill create the ultimate entertaining experience.
The accommodation wing continues the home's sense of refinement, with two additional bedrooms featuring built-in robes, private access points, and thoughtful separation. The master bedroom provides a peaceful sanctuary, complete with a charming bay window, direct access to the front veranda, and beautiful outlooks.
The private master retreat is the ultimate expression of luxury, featuring a spacious walk-in wardrobe, beautifully appointed ensuite, dual vanities, separate shower, freestanding bath, and considered storage solutions. A discreet laundry chute adds another layer of thoughtful design rarely found in homes of this era.
Beyond the architecture and scale, this residence offers an extraordinary lifestyle. Wake to views of Castle Hill, entertain as the afternoon breezes drift through the home, and enjoy the convenience of being moments from Townsville Grammar School, Gregory Street, Queens Gardens, The Strand, cafés, dining, and the very best of North Ward.
A true statement of heritage, grandeur, and prestige - this exceptional Queenslander is not simply a home, but a piece of North Ward history. A once-in-a-generation opportunity for those seeking a residence of enduring beauty, remarkable scale, and timeless appeal.
