Steeped in history, this gorgeous detached gabled cottage was originally built by a philanthropist by the name of John Howie. High ceilings, polished boards and trompe l’oeil all come together to create an aura of elegance and difference that sets this house apart from the norm. The home has three bedrooms which are of fantastic proportions. To the rear of the house, nestled in the delightful cottage garden complete with stunning mature trees, sits an extremely large fully lined studio with accompanying storage. There are four working fireplaces (one of which is in the studio) and ducted gas central heating. Located in one of the loveliest streets in South Katoomba, an inspection is necessary to fall in love, as did its current owners, when first they saw it so long ago. Inspections are by appointment only.
