"Dellwood" is a stunning example of c1914 Federation architecture in arguably one of the best locations in the beautiful Blue Mountains!
This grand home is "loved and lived in" and only two hundred metres to the start of the shopping precinct in Katoomba, plus a short walk to pre-schools, primary schools, a high school and a TAFE college!
From the moment you step through the front gate, this gracious home will enchant you. Walking up the tessellated tiled steps and onto the wrap around verandah with doors and windows connecting it to the house, you will be transported back to a time and place of immaculately presented period homes. This grand home is set in a desirably tranquil area and yet so close to the vibrant Katoomba village and historic walks.
Currently owned by a large, bustling, happy family with much loved pets, the home offers ample accommodation with (3) double bedrooms,( 2) medium-single and (1) single bedroom (some with built-ins). A separate parent's retreat will be the perfect place to close the door and get some much needed respite from the hustle and bustle of a busy life. It includes a master bedroom with an ensuite and a walk-in (wall to wall) robe.
Internal original features have thankfully been retained including six (6) working fireplaces (currently capped), wide skirting boards, original pine floors, high and incredibly ornate ceilings, bay windows, fretwork, original doors, crystal chandeliers and much more.
The established gardens blend beautifully with the natural features of this home and have been thoughtfully planted and embellished. With separate "zones" for relaxing, reading, writing or a spot of gardening, it brims with quintessential cold climate plantings, a vegetable patch, olive, citrus, kaffir lime, aristocrat pear and many other varieties of edible and ornate plantings. A large fish pond even has its own bridge and is home to some cheeky residents going by the names of "Hotlips, Sprinkles, Blackey and Little Blackey" to name but a few.
The conservatory overlooks a BBQ area and paved entertaining courtyard plus under the house offers space for a workshop and huge amounts of storage. There is a double carport.
This is a charming, graceful and character-filled c1914 Federation style home waiting for its new owners. Have you always hoped to move to the tranquil Blue Mountains and live in your "dream home"? Well look no further, this is IT!!!
Offered to market for the first time in 11 years and an absolute pleasure to list. Please call Kim Martin, RA Lawrence, Blue Mountains Lifestyle Properties on 0412269955. By appointment only.
