64 Victoria Street, Mount Victoria NSW 2786

Step back into the gentility of another time as you enter this gracious and secluded timber house built in the tradition of the grand mountain 19th century holiday sanctuaries so popular during the steam train era. This is a unique prestige property - set on a 2 acre block on a spectacular high point of Mt Piddington, with breathtaking views over the Kanimbla Valley through mature plantings, all within an easy walk of the station, shops, school and iconic cinema. There is almost an acre of established, low maintenance gardens, with a long sweeping driveway to the house and separate garage, lit by decorative lamp posts. Many of the property's most desirable original features remain intact - open fires in the lounge and two of the bedrooms, wood panelled walls and high ceilings, pine floor boards, a wood stove in the country kitchen and a deep, shaded veranda entrance way. But there have been many sympathetic modern amendments too: gas central heating, refurbished bathrooms and kitchen, skylights and picture windows, and the enclosing of the side verandas to create long, versatile, suntrap spaces. The home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a handy mudroom by the back door. This rare, character-filled property offers a taste of the charm of yesteryear without any sacrifice in modern comfort. Presently let for an excellent return but vacant possession available.
