Overview

UNDER CONTRACT | OPEN HOME CANCELLED

Secluded, quiet, and utterly bewitching, this 1890s miner's cottage is a rare gem - a sanctuary of rustic elegance nestled within a lush, established garden. Set on an approx. 1,391sqm block surrounded by trees and birdsong, the home offers restful freedom and a true connection with nature, all within walking distance of Leura village cafés, shops, schools, and the train station, and just minutes from the hospital and local cinema. Inside, the cottage exudes charming, cheeky character with a thoughtful blend of history and comfort. The kitchen - complete with dishwasher and electric cooking - flows to a cosy dining and lounge area warmed by a gas heater and pot-belly stove. The two bedrooms include a main with an extended retreat perfect for a home office or reading nook, while the large bathroom features a claw-foot tub and laundry facilities, offering scope to personalise. Every window frames a tranquil outlook of trees and sky, ensuring total privacy and peace. Natural light streams through the East–West aspect, casting a golden glow down the hallway between the solid hardwood doors that keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter. Step through the French doors to a bewitching garden oasis - a sanctuary of dappled light and year-round colour. From the front verandah to the back deck, beneath the viburnum's pom-poms or the mulberry tree, there's a perfect nook for every moment - to sit, sip, read, or simply breathe. A detached studio sits elevated on the slope - the ideal creative retreat, writer's cabin, or guest room. With self-sufficient heating options, strong water pressure, and a sense of enduring protection from the world beyond, this home is both modest and magical. A true Leura treasure, where history, heart, and nature live in harmony. • Charming 1890s miners cottage surrounded by mature gardens, a private mountain oasis. • Two bedrooms, one bathroom, main bedroom with retreat ideal for home office or reading. • Kitchen with dishwasher and electric cooking opening to dining and lounge with pot belly stove. • Large bathroom with claw-foot tub and laundry, ready to personalise. • Detached studio perfect for a guest room, creative work, or quiet escape. • East–West aspect fills the home with natural light and warmth. • Expansive 1,391sqm (approx) block with garden, bushwalk paths, and peaceful sitting spots. • Optional gas heating with cosy nooks inside and out for relaxing or stargazing.
