One of the things enjoyed by inner city dwelling is proximity to your needs and wants. Bars, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, fresh fruit and veggies, bottle shop, newsagent, train station. It's the same here in this elegant old world residence in Katoomba. All of the above are a short walk away. As are the Carrington Hotel, a boutique brewery, even a vinyl record shop. This fabulous house was master built for Mr James' daughter as her wedding present early last century. His commercial buildings from 1925 still stand proudly on the corner opposite the station.
