10 French Street

Positioned on a generous 1,012sqm allotment in one of Pimlico's most tightly held pockets, 10 French Street is a substantial highset Queenslander offering space, flexibility and classic character, paired with modern comforts and outstanding outdoor amenities. Behind electric gates on both sides of the property, the home presents with a traditional façade, butterfly staircase and wide front deck that immediately set the tone. The upper level is the heart of the home and showcases everything buyers love about a true Queenslander. Gorgeous ironbark timber floors run throughout, complemented by high ceilings, fretwork detailing and French doors opening from two of the bedrooms onto the front balcony. Three bedrooms are located on this level, two of which feature walk-in robes, all serviced by a well-appointed central bathroom. The kitchen is a standout, crafted from stunning New Guinea rosewood timber with extensive cabinetry, a 900mm wide gas stove, walk-in pantry and generous bench space. It flows seamlessly into a large dining area, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. To the rear, a huge covered verandah provides an exceptional space for outdoor dining and relaxation, overlooking the backyard and pool area. Internal stairs connect both levels, ensuring practical and comfortable family living. Downstairs, the home opens into a vast tiled open-plan living area that offers flexibility for families of all stages. Two large bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned on this level, serviced by a second bathroom and a full family laundry. This level is ideal for teenagers, guests or extended family, with excellent separation from the upper floor. The house is fully air-conditioned throughout with split systems to all areas, ensuring comfort in every season Outdoors is where this property truly shines. A huge in-ground swimming pool with a dedicated kids' play area and slide creates a resort-style setting that will be enjoyed year-round. The yard is fully fenced and well laid out, offering space without compromising on usability. Vehicle accommodation and storage are exceptional, with two separate carports accessed via electric gates. The right-hand carport measures approximately 6m x 6m with a height of 2.7m, while the left-hand carport is approximately 8m long by 3m wide with a height of 2.6m. In addition, there is a powered two-bay shed measuring 6m x 6m, perfect for trades, hobbies or additional storage. Adding significant value and versatility is the fully self-contained two-bedroom granny flat. Featuring its own kitchen with gas cooktop, open-plan living and dining, one bedroom with a split system air-conditioner and the second with a built-in robe, plus a combined bathroom and laundry, this space is ideal for inter-generational living or as an income-producing option. The granny flat is on a separate electricity meter, providing clear independence from the main residence. Solar efficiency is addressed with a 4.5kW solar system and 5kW inverter, helping to manage ongoing living costs. The location further enhances the appeal. Ideally positioned in a central and sought-after Pimlico pocket, the home is within walking distance to the Mater Hospital and local medical facilities. It sits close to quality schools including Pimlico State High School and St Margaret Mary's College, within the highly sought-after Pimlico High catchment. Castletown Shopping Centre and Townsville Shopping Centre are only moments away, while Anderson Gardens, public transport links, the CBD, The Strand and major arterial roads are all easily accessible. This is a rare opportunity to secure a large Queenslander with multiple living options, outstanding infrastructure and a prime Pimlico address.
