It is business at the front of 40 Ackers Street, Hermit Park


From the sarcophagus pool room to the Sistine Chapel-style bedroom, this Queensland house just screams – designed by Michelangelo and Indiana Jones.

Located in Townsville, the unique residence is located in the Temple of Doom, oops, we mean Belgian Gardens, and boasts some seriously unqiue features that might just make you Walk Like an Egyptian.

Who doesn’t love some inspo from The Bangles.

“The original owners of this home have lived and loved life in this dwelling and you can feel this when you walk through the home,” the listing says.

Ms Ross said there was also a bit of “Hugh Hefner, Egyptian inspo “.

“It is so eclectic,” she said.

“A few buyers have mentioned the Sistine Chapel.

“But the detail that went into it, the tap ware, the doves.

“It is what the owner envisaged after travels.”

Ms Ross is selling the property on behalf of the owners children.
