8 Shillington Street, Blackheath NSW 2785

Looking for some rare historical character in your Blue Mountains home? Then look no further - this period bungalow is such a charming remnant of the genteel, gracious architectural homes of the past, when the Blue Mountains enjoyed its status as the nation?s premier tourist destination. With timeless style, the property was designed with elements of both the Art Deco and California Bungalow periods. In fact it retains most of its lovely original period features: high ceilings, geometric cornices and picture rails, polished cypress pine floors, timber casement windows, a brick fire surround - and in the main bedroom the original timber in builts and window storage seats. Corner windows in the lounge and second bedroom are another delightful highlight of this character-rich property. And what a surprise the original bathroom is ? it?s in wonderful condition, with tessellated tiles, enamel cast iron sink and deep bath. The kitchen, also charming, has a fabulous walk-in pantry and a handy laundry adjacent. There are two bedrooms (with a potential for rearranging the internal spaces to create another), a dining and two living rooms, all of which flow into each other. One of the loveliest features of the property is a north facing glass conservatory that hugs the back of the house. It is the perfect space for year-round living and dining - sit amongst the greenery enjoying the sunshine whilst protected from the elements, and grow a potted lime for your G&Ts!
Set above the street with a level, sunny backyard (and beds perfect for vegetables), the home is in a quiet location on one of our favourite Blackheath streets. It is a delight to inspect.
