Positioned in one of Blackheath's most cherished streetscapes, just a short stroll from the village centre, wonderful restaurants and cafés, boutique shops, Blackheath railway station and schools, The Oak at 144 Wentworth Street offers the rare privilege of historic grandeur in an exceptionally convenient location. Built in 1938 as the Mayoral residence when Blackheath proudly stood as its own municipality, this iconic double-brick home is being offered to the market for the first time in 42 years - an extraordinary opportunity to secure a significant piece of local history.
Rich in character and timeless elegance, The Oak makes an unforgettable first impression with its graceful bay and sash windows, sweeping wrap-around verandah and striking stained-glass entry. Inside, soaring ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling details, elegant picture rails and beautiful original timber floors celebrate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. High French doors and floor to ceiling windows draw natural light throughout the generous interiors, creating an inviting sense of space, warmth and understated grandeur.
Designed for both comfortable family living and refined entertaining, this substantial residence offers five bedrooms, including two former maid's quarters, two bathrooms and multiple living spaces. Two generous living rooms provide room to gather and unwind, while a light-filled sunroom and delightful conservatory offer peaceful retreats overlooking the picturesque gardens. Two large, splendid open fireplaces create warm, inviting focal points complemented by hydronic central heating, ensuring comfort across the seasons especially during the crisp, cold winters of the upper Blue Mountains.
Beyond the home's impressive interiors, half an acre of established grounds provides a captivating garden setting, with mature cool-climate trees, flourishing shrubs, expansive lawn areas and a stunning original fountain that enhances the property's sense of tranquillity and heritage. Rear lane access to the double garage adds further practicality, while the exceptional walk-to-everything location means your needs are very close at hand.
Offered for the first time in more than four decades, The Oak is far more than a home - it is a landmark residence that embodies the history, character and enduring appeal of Blackheath. Combining remarkable heritage features, generous proportions, enchanting gardens and outstanding convenience, this is a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of an iconic Blue Mountains address.
