Recently reconstructed and modernised at significant cost to maintain the feel of a large cottage in Leura in the Blue Mountains, this property is deceptively large upon entering through the beautiful front cottage garden. Featuring multiple gas fireplaces in formal areas as well as a beautiful wood burning one in the main living area there is a feeling of love and attention to detail resulting in a property that is authentic to its history. A large main bedroom with WIR and ensuite is located downstairs with the 4 bedrooms upstairs being serviced by one bathroom with roof storage. Even though the rooms upstairs are not extra large, they are practical and well hidden in the roofline from the street. The rear living area is 55m in size with the terrace an additional 35m which creates a large space that leads out through wide doors to the well sized sunny garden with just a small patch of grass not receiving sun.
Location of the property is amongst well maintained federation homes in a cul de sac with easy access to Miller St shops and cafes. At the time of visiting on a Saturday there was plenty of street parking with special note regarding easy local access onto Freeway to City. The School across the road is not seen from the home but traffic may be noticeable for an hour early and later in the day but if the owners children attend the school then the benefits may outweigh the brief moments of traffic.
Overall, a great feeling, modern unique property on a good sized block of land that doesn't fit the normal federation mould and stands as a testament to the current owners passion to create a home that is a different style of federation home, one seen in Balmain normally.
