Step into a piece of history with this charming 1914 weatherboard home, presented to the market for the first time in 85 years. Nestled on a coveted street in South Katoomba, just moments from the escarpment, this property radiates warmth, character, and a profound sense of place - an enduring legacy in one of the Blue Mountains' most treasured locations.
The home showcases a versatile floorplan, currently arranged to include four generously proportioned bedrooms, a central bathroom, an elegant lounge, a sun-drenched sitting room, and a separate dining area. Thoughtful and sympathetic renovations have elevated the home's comfort while preserving its original charm. The kitchen boasts stone benchtops and a five-burner gas cooktop - ideal for hosting and everyday living. Custom panoramic double glazing in the rear sitting and dining rooms frames the breathtaking north-facing garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and flooding the interiors with natural light.
Beyond the main residence lies a private, self-contained retreat - perfect for guests, extended family, or creative pursuits. The garden is a true haven: expansive, sunlit, and lovingly landscaped with recycled brick paths, fruit trees, and a majestic 100-year-old late-leafing chestnut tree. A delightful chicken coop with a generous run enhances the mountain lifestyle, while an artist's studio nestled among the greenery offers a tranquil space for inspiration or quiet reflection. The original cast iron bathtub amongst the Spring bluebells is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.
This is not just a home, it's a lovingly preserved legacy - a place where history, romance, nature, and creativity converge in one of Katoomba's most sought-after locations. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful family home or a weekend escape, 5 Dulhunty Street is a property to fall in love with.
