A beautiful example of Federation architecture, this distinguished South Katoomba residence makes a lasting first impression with its charming weatherboard façade, substantial sandstone foundations and leadlight front door. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home retains its timeless appeal, with high ceilings, timber flooring, original ornate plasterwork and intricate period detailing creating a warm and inviting Blue Mountains retreat.
A wide entrance hallway leads to the light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where feature arched period windows create a beautiful focal point. The well-appointed country kitchen features a 90cm freestanding Falcon gas stove and oven, farmhouse double sink, integrated dishwasher, whole-house water filtration system with additional under-sink filtration, and butler's pantry. The adjoining laundry includes the added convenience of a second WC. A separate media room, which can also serve as a fourth bedroom, features a slow-combustion wood heater, while reverse-cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout ensures year-round comfort.
Three generously proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a well-appointed central bathroom. A separate air-conditioned studio offers flexibility as a home office or creative retreat, while a 12Kw solar panel system adds energy efficiency. DA-approved plans provide the opportunity to replace the existing studio with a two-bedroom secondary dwelling, offering exciting potential for extended family accommodation or a dedicated work-from-home space.
Occupying a prime South Katoomba location, the property is just a few minutes' walk from everything the Katoomba township has to offer, including cafés, restaurants, shops and transport links. Set on a fully fenced block, the established backyard provides a secure and spacious setting for children and pets, while the outdoor alfresco area creates an inviting space for entertaining and relaxed outdoor living.
