16 Baxter Street, West End QLD 4810

Fully fenced 607m² lot | In-ground pool with pavilion | Renovated family bathroom | Solar-powered efficiency This house occupies a rare configuration in West End: a fully fenced 607m² lot with an in-ground pool and pavilion, which is competitively scarce for the price band. The renovated bathroom and open-plan layout reduce immediate capital outlay, while the solar panels and NBN fibre lower holding costs. It serves best for a young family or investor seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle asset with strong rental demand in a catchment for Townsville West State School and Townsville State High School. The primary risk is the lack of covered parking and the modest building coverage of 26%, which limits expansion potential without council approval. The property sits without flood or bushfire overlays, a genuine advantage in this region, and the 2022 purchase history suggests equity growth is possible if held medium-term. The rental estimate of $570 per week supports a buy-and-hold strategy, but buyers should verify the pool’s condition and the underhouse storage’s usability. Use this as a solid core holding in a diversified portfolio.
