There are homes with character, and then there are homes that tell a story.
Dating to circa 1920, 162 Francis Street is a magnificent Queenslander combining authentic heritage character with exceptional modern family living. Privately positioned on a beautifully established 1,047m² allotment and offering approximately 580m² under roof, this is a home of remarkable scale in one of West End's most sought-after pockets.
From the traditional timber staircase and impressive entrance, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors and classic detailing immediately establish the home's character. The main lounge, complete with fireplace and built-in bookcases, is complemented by a second upstairs living area, dedicated study and separate office space. At the heart of the home, the modern kitchen features gas appliances, excellent storage and a walk-in pantry.
Three bedrooms are positioned upstairs, including the generous main suite with ensuite, while downstairs provides outstanding flexibility with two further bedrooms, each featuring its own ensuite and walk-in robe. Together with a third living area and internal staircase, the layout is ideal for larger families, teenagers, guests or intergenerational living.
One of the home's showpieces is the approximately 90m² covered deck overlooking the pool and towards Castle Hill. Complete with electric shutters, it creates an extraordinary all-weather entertaining space.
Outside, the lifestyle continues with a 10-metre swimming pool, approximately 73m² basketball court, paved entertaining areas, landscaped gardens and expansive lawns providing genuine room for children and pets to play.

The West End Lifestyle
West End is prized for its character homes, leafy established streets and outstanding inner-city convenience.
