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.
