Property Details
A personality plus weatherboard in an incredible position! So close to town, yet nestled in a private high spot with uninterrupted views across the Shipley Plateau to the Kanimbla Valley. If you fancy a chance of putting your own stamp of creativity into nurturing a charming piece of Blackheath history to its full potential, then this is one to really get excited about! With a makeover here and there, this could be a perfect forever home or idyllic bolthole from the city. In just over two and a half hours (door to door by strolling and train) from Central, Friday summer evenings could see you sipping your first weekend drink watching the sun set over the Hampton Hills - perfect timing!
Full of rambling charm and quirky character, the home is positioned in a pocket of Blackheath dotted with historical cottages and country-style gardens. A unique floor plan allows for three bedrooms and three separate living/sitting areas. The main lounge features a gas log fire and breathtaking views through floor to ceiling windows. A back deck leads to a level backyard with the outlook privately framed by screening rhododendrons. The kitchen and bathroom are very tidy and functional as is, and will tide you over well until you are ready to update. This is one that will richly reward a special someone keen to put in some tender loving to make a shy one shine!
