Perfectly positioned in a sought-after pocket of South Leura, this timeless weatherboard cottage captures the essence of mountain living, full of charm, character, and light. Offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, this home is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat within easy reach of Leura Village.
Upon entry, you're welcomed into an incredible sunroom, currently serving as a second living and dining area, bathed in natural light and framed by two sets of French doors that open onto an expansive, partially covered deck adorned in lush wisteria. This stunning space invites you to relax or entertain while taking in tranquil treetop views.
Throughout the home there are many original features, including restored art deco leadlight windows and doors, timber floors, picture rails, high wood-lined ceilings, and warm wood-panelled walls. The formal lounge is both generous and cosy, centred around a traditional wood fireplace with leadlight cabinetry on either side and a beautiful bay window creating a picturesque focal point. The country-style eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully designed with gas & electric cooking, a large pantry, ample storage, and a dishwasher, providing a practical space for meal preparation while maintaining an easy flow for entertaining.
The main bedroom includes a separate adjoining room with a built-in wardrobe, perfect as an extended dressing room or private office. The second bedroom is spacious and light-filled, enhanced by a skylight. Both are ideally positioned near the recently updated main bathroom, featuring a lavish bathtub and separate shower. Downstairs, the third bedroom includes a built-in robe and French doors leading to a covered patio, along with easy access to the second bathroom combined with the laundry, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The magic continues outdoors with enchanting tiered gardens that invite you to wander and explore, complemented by a vegetable garden for the avid gardener. Meandering pathways wind through an array of established plantings including azaleas, rhododendrons, maples, and roses, offering multiple spots to sit, unwind, and take in the serenity.
