This is the quintessential mountain weatherboard cottage that one dreams of, beautifully positioned only a few minutes’ stroll from Blackheath’s vibrant village centre. Built in 1905 (after the division of the original Rowan Brae parcel) , Park Brae retains all the charm and character of that genteel time, and has been lovingly updated, extended and maintained throughout the years to incorporate all the comforts of a modern home. High ceilings, a gentle colour scheme, quality fixtures, large picture windows and a stunning jarrah hardwood floor lend the house a comfortable, gracious, light-filled elegance. A high picket fence to the front shelters a sunny courtyard and a wisteria festooned front patio, made from beautiful hand-hewn, local sandstone. The property has four bedrooms, two bathrooms (plus an extra in-bedroom shower and basin), and a large living room/dining that flows out onto a sunny, private veranda with a gorgeous outlook over mature trees. The kitchen and breakfast room is a space to delight in, a perfect sun-filled living area to retreat from the rest of the house to cook, create, relax. The main bathroom, with its generous proportions, freestanding bath and heritage-look tiles, is a luxurious escape. A quaint, quiet laneway at the back provides dual access and plenty of off-street parking. There is a carport under the house and an extensive storage and workshop area. The garden is a fully fenced and private, tree-filled haven that celebrates the seasons and features many gorgeous specimen trees including a magnificent, white weeping cherry.
This one has it all, and is only a pleasant amble from galleries, cafes, the station, the Rhododendron Gardens and the famous monthly Blackheath Growers market – so be quick to inspect!
