Step back in time to a period of elegance with this early 1900s South Katoomba apartment located on the ground floor of the historic Katoomba Icon that is ‘Wadi Shaifa’.
Needing TOTAL renovation, this apartment has all the right ‘bones’ and is in original condition throughout. A wide front entrance hall graced with ornate fretwork and curved lead light windows leads firstly to a huge main bedroom with an original bay window (with views). This bedroom has its own built in robes and a bathroom (with potential to make this bathroom larger). The second bedroom is also spacious with original French doors leading out onto a large, sun-drenched sun room with windows overlooking escarpment views.
The spacious and inviting living room is light-filled and East facing with stunning views over Kingsford Smith park, pretty Katoomba cottages and out to the escarpment beyond. There are huge decorative windows including some lead light panels that run almost the length of the room plus an original fireplace with gorgeous timber mantelpiece (in fantastic condition).
The two bathrooms both need total renovation as does the North/East facing kitchen. There are original floorboards in great condition, timber panelling, the doors are original hardwood, there are picture rails plus both casement and double hung original windows.
Brimful of character, this is a truly wonderful opportunity to purchase an elegant part of Blue Mountains history located conveniently within a short stroll to simply everything!
