Dean Park, built in 1925, is a weatherboard home with solid brick foundations, set on a level corner block in a prestigious part of Leura. Behind high stone walls lies an original Sorensen garden filled with mature trees, cold-climate plantings, and charming pathways leading to various outdoor "rooms," including a 1930s tiled dining grotto. A covered portico entrance opens to a glass-enclosed sunroom, featuring unique stained-glass windows, high ceilings, and original kauri floors.
The free-flowing layout provides a welcoming lounge with gas heating and custom bookshelves, which connects smoothly to the dining area. A stylish granite-bench kitchen includes a gas cooktop, island seating, and integrated appliances, while each bedroom has its own distinct character. French doors off the rear of the home lead to a timber deck, with just a few steps down to a musician's studio and an oversized single garage. Boasting new ducted heating and abundant natural light through original sash windows, this home blends individuality and comfort in a sought-after location close to bushwalks, mountain views, and the local golf course.
