Privately positioned amongst beautifully established gardens, Watermark House is a charming circa 1930s Californian bungalow offering a wonderful combination of period character, generous accommodation and views across the Grose Valley towards Mount Banks. Set across two substantial titles in a tightly held Leura location, this unique property presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a character-filled family residence, Blue Mountains retreat or investment with exciting future potential.
Set back from the street behind an expansive frontage and mature gardens, the home enjoys a peaceful and private setting. Its classic Californian bungalow architecture is complemented by beautiful original features, including intricate leadlight windows, period fittings and detailing. Of particular significance are the stunning leadlight windows sourced from Katoomba's historic Carrington Hotel, adding a fascinating connection to the region's rich architectural heritage.
Inside, the home offers a spacious and flexible floorplan with three to four generously proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms. The open-plan living, dining and sunroom areas create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with natural light and picturesque garden outlooks enhancing the home's relaxed mountain character.
One of the property's standout features is the expansive outdoor entertaining deck, perfectly positioned to capture that outlook to the Grose Valley towards Mount Banks. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, entertaining family and friends or simply taking in the changing colours of the surrounding landscape, this impressive outdoor space provides a wonderful connection to the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.
Adding further versatility is a separate downstairs space, comprising two rooms, a bathroom and additional storage. This flexible space is ideal for a teenagers retreat, a home office, creative studio or extended family space, offering privacy and separation from the main living areas.
Outside, the established cottage gardens are an important part of the property's appeal. Mature Japanese maples, fruit trees and an impressive Wollemi Pine create a beautiful landscape, offering colour and interest throughout the seasons. The property's creek frontage adds another unique feature, further enhancing the peaceful and natural setting.
Importantly, Watermark House is offered across two substantial titles, presenting exciting possibilities for the future. Whether retaining the entire holding as a private garden estate, exploring the potential for a second dwelling or considering the future sale of the additional allotment, the property offers flexibility rarely found in such a desirable Leura location, subject to council approval.
The home also incorporates practical sustainability features, including solar-passive design, a 2.5kW solar system and rainwater tanks, complementing its comfortable approach to mountain living.
Despite its peaceful setting, Watermark House is conveniently located off Leura North Mall, approximately one kilometre from Leura Village, with its boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.
Combining timeless architectural character, magnificent valley views, established gardens and the exceptional advantage of two titles, 7-9 Norwood Street represents a rare opportunity to secure a truly special property in one of the Blue Mountains' most sought-after locations.
