Description

The heart and soul of Old Bowral is encapsulated within these character laden walls. If the pressed metal ceilings could talk they’d speak of over a hundred years of life enhanced by its virtues; the freedom of being able to stroll to town, the warmth of a roaring open fire place and a floor plan which has evolved over time to allow for both a genteel way of being and one which is relaxed, real and free flowing.

The formal living and dining rooms are of a superb scale and are book-ended by a rip roaring open fire place and the prettiest built in bar – just the thing to fuel wintry evenings! A library flows from here and boasts built in joinery and a beautiful framed view of neighbouring gardens. The family room with built in window seat opens to the covered northern terrace and is well connected to the renovated kitchen - making entertaining and conversation a breeze.

A stand out feature is the generous studio space - currently used as a creative hub but which has scope to be utilised as a large playroom, media room or additional guest room. Storage is abundant and well planned and there is an additional work space also with its own separate access, creating even more flexibility for those wishing to work from home. A study as well as the quintessential front verandah overlooking the gardens’ spoils and sunsets beyond, provide more spaces for retreat when desired.
