3-7 Eady Street, Blackheath NSW 2785

Tucked into the hillside and desirably private, this elegant home is surrounded by spectacular terraced gardens, with many spaces to sit, relax and take in the everchanging garden vistas. With access through Whitley Park (See end of listing for directions), 'Rakiura', meaning glowing skies, was built in 1946 and features an elegant, spacious floor plan and stunning views all the way to Menai Hills, and the town of Katoomba is highlighted by the landmark Carrington Hotel chimney. At night, you can enjoy the twinkling lights of the southern suburbs of Sydney.

The main living room, kitchen and master bedroom are all primely positioned to enjoy the views and have direct access through to the outdoor deck areas, providing the perfect space for entertaining or enjoying the spectacular sunrises. Also located on the upper level is a study, two additional bedrooms and a main bathroom.

The lower level boasts another large room providing a multitude of uses, again with oversized windows that look into those spectacular gardens, a kitchenette, a bunkroom/bedroom, a laundry and an impressive man cave of tremendous proportions, complete with benches, drawers and shelves.

This home has lovely proportions, high ceilings, large picture windows abound and a real feeling of solidity. The quality is palpable, the depth of the engineering is as impressive as the views and to top it all off are those spectacular cool climate gardens that terrace down the hillside.
