10 Blackheath Street, Leura, NSW 2780 'Redleaf'

Spectacular, elegant 'Redleaf', crafted in c1912, transformed into a high-end masterpiece in 2023. This immaculately presented, meticulously maintained property will unfold beyond your expectations, with a perfect balance and symmetry, recognising and retaining its heritage features which now seamlessly blend with the contemporary architecturally designed extension. The property rests peacefully and privately on 1,770 sqm of breath-taking landscaped gardens, originally created by the famous master gardener Paul Sorenson.

The charming facade reveals a deceptively spacious floor plan, offering multiple living and dining spaces that can be utilised depending on the occasion. The formal Arts and Craft era dinning room, complete with inglenook, wood panelling, gold and brass chandeliers and double sided buffet, creates a captivating and intimate ambience worthy of the most magnificent dining experience. The expansive north facing lounge and sunroom, with 3 meter high ceilings and captivating garden views, allows for a private and relaxed space to unwind and entertain in. The two king sized bedrooms, with built-ins and direct balcony access together with the smaller 3rd bedroom share the main bathroom, all of which capture the north western sun.

The impressive, bespoke entertainers kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a large 6 burner Smeg gas oven and Artusi BBQ both with Qasair rangehoods. Bringing the entertainment to the next level, there is a bar with wine fridge, a second sink, and a large island bench. The backdrop to the kitchen is the famous Fornasetti wallpaper and Fabbian Italian chandelier which is a conversation piece in itself. With no shortage of bench and storage space, and centrally located at the heart of the home, this kitchen has been designed with entertaining in mind.

With effortless connection, the transformation continues through the impressive extension, designed by highly respected Blue Mountains architect Diego Villar. The quality and attention to detail is evident the moment you enter the space, with a passive solar design and oversized double glazed doors and windows allowing the northern sun to bring natural light and warmth to the space. Three meter high ceilings, engineered timber floors, premium linen curtains and a Flos Italian light fixture are just some of the impressive features of this space. This tranquil oasis of space where the interior and exterior seamlessly blend into one, allows for a serene retreat from the hustle of daily life.

The master suite exudes luxury, privacy and craftsmanship reflective of a 5 star hotel. The large, lavish ensuite with free standing oversized bath, double vanity, heated flooring and towel rails together with large walk-in double headed shower, all with the feeling of being ensconced by the garden. The king bed is perfectly positioned to take in the garden vistas, sitting on luxurious wool carpet complete with magnificent Ardmore wallpaper. The generous bespoke walk-in wardrobe enjoys LED lighting and an excellent combination of drawers and hanging space.

The sprawling, very private, level gardens are another marvel of this property. The combination of open grassed space, dry stone walls (rebuilt in 2023) together with mature cold climate plantings, and more than 4000 bulbs which bring the garden to life in spring. The garden shed with power and water is a perfect addition for the keen gardener or alternatively offers a multitude of additional uses.
