Offered to market for the first time in 35 years, as a combined parcel of 3 titles, comprising Sorensen curated gardens and original residence, is this Leura treasure.
Sitting on the 'home' block is the original, circa early 1920/1930's, weatherboard residence. The floor plan includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, original kitchen, a delightful sunroom with views to the east, plus a casual family room overlooking the garden to the south. There's also a formal dining room plus potential office/study.
Adjoined via a staircase corridor is the studio/library, or guest accommodation which sits across two levels and includes a large open plan sleeping/living/studio quarters and downstairs laundry, storage and bathroom. Given it's independent access, with the addition of a kitchen this would easily convert to a separate dwelling (STCA).
The land is 3205 sqm of curated 'Wildwood' on the quiet, high eastern-facing slope at Leura with original Sorensen-designed structural elements including retaining walls and plantings. Mature trees include original oak, dogwood, various exotic conifer, a rhododendron walk under-storied with hellebore, a woodland of rare eucalypt, mature birch and conifers plus heritage roses, This very special garden is a bird-heaven, and a constant year-round surprise for the horticultural enthusiast.
