A beautiful home deserves a beautiful setting - and 'Francis' has both, occupying a quarter-acre allotment on one of Toowoomba's most character-rich streets. Far more than a renovation, this c1910 treasure has been thoughtfully reimagined by Bos + Jak, specialists in character homes, blending its original soul with exceptional craftsmanship and just the right amount of modern-day luxury.
Then comes the extension - and this is where 'Francis' really shows off. Soaring cathedral ceilings crown a spectacular open-plan living space, opening beautifully to the north and drawing natural light deep into the home. At its heart is a statement kitchen, refined in its finish, perfect in scale and designed equally for everyday family life as it is for entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the butler's pantry, mudroom and laundry, where clever planning keeps the practical side of life neatly tucked away.
The position of the home on its quarter-acre is another part of what makes it so special. There's genuine space on every side, a front garden where you can easily imagine the kids playing while sitting on the verandah, and a private backyard made for long lunches, summer afternoons and entertaining. Remote gates provide secure access to the garage, while a second set of double gates opens up even more possibilities, with room for the family caravan, boat or perhaps that extra shed you've always wanted (STCA).
And then there's the address. This has long been one of our favourite streets in Toowoomba - beautiful character homes, established trees and a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to replicate. Stroll down the road for your morning coffee, wander into Queens Park on the weekend, or enjoy the convenience of being within the popular Toowoomba East State School catchment and just minutes from some of the city's leading private schools. It's the kind of location that makes everyday life that little bit better.
It's in the finer details where the quality of this transformation really becomes apparent. There's zoned ducted air-conditioning, heated bathroom floors, smart wiring with remote control of the home, an integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, plus a custom-built buffet with power ready for the wine fridge. Everywhere you look, there's evidence of craftsmanship and considered choices - the kind of details that aren't always obvious in photographs, but make all the difference when you live here.
