EXQUISITE HERITAGE HOME!

Originally built in 1908 and held by the current custodians for the past 17 years, ‘Ilion’ is one of the finest examples of architecture from the federation bungalow era you’ll find.

North facing and sitting on a 1,842sqms allotment with rare R3 zoning, it also has the benefit of one of the most convenient locations in the area – just 130 metres from vibrant Leura Mall and the Train Station.

It would make for a landmark home or exquisite place of work with DA approval for ‘home employment’.

The property has undergone a detailed restoration/renovation fusing original heritage features with modern conveniences.

Flexibility is key with 4 rooms (bedrooms) on offer, a separate office, multiple living spaces and a renovated kitchen with walk-in pantry and bathroom. There is a large deck overlooking the gardens and a huge wrap around verandah at the front.

Separate to the home is a purpose-built archives room which could also make a great studio and an attached laundry and toilet (wheelchair friendly). There is also the original separate outdoor toilet.

There is a lock-up garage with dedicated hardstand parking for a further 3 vehicles with a lay back for turning.

The current custodians are avid collectors of rare and unusual plants. The grounds have been a continuous labour of love and have previously featured in the Leura Garden Festival. There are several different sections and themes in the grounds including a cool climate woodland garden under the Cedrus Altantica and a mini orchard within the walled garden. One of our favourite features is the magnificent Deodar tree (over 120 years old). The floriferous New Dawn rose hedge is pretty special too!

Just some of the period features include decorative stucco, original fireplaces in working order, stained glass windows, oversized French windows looking into the garden, ornate cornices, timber boarded raked soffits and timber flooring.

Modern conveniences include hydronic heating, back to base alarm, CCTV system, data points throughout, flyscreens, gas cooking and instantaneous gas hot water.

This is your chance to secure one of the finest heritage properties on offer in the Blue Mountains and a rare piece of history.

We were very happy with the service we received from Liberty Real Estate.  Nikki was very professional. friendly and efficient in finding a tenant for our rental property.  We would not hesitate to recommend Liberty as a property manager. Thank Liberty Property Services for making the process so easy.

Alex Thomson and his team at Liberty Property did a superb job helping us with a rental property in Leura. Alex recommended outstanding tradespeople who had the property transformed with great efficiency. Within a week Alex found wonderful tenants who have already asked for a lease extension. Tanya at Liberty guided me through all the paperwork (rates, water and electricity) so all the bills are handled by Liberty. I highly recommend the team at Liberty Property Services.

As a renter I've had an absolute pleasure with the team at Liberty Property Services.  After needing to find a place to rent during lockdown in 2021, they were fantastic.  The other property managers I engaged with at the time were really sub-par doing the bare minimum.  The rental experience itself was also fantastic - if I'm ever looking for another rental in the Blue Mountains in the distant future I'll be back!  And if I have a property needing management I'll be going straight to Liberty.

Marc Fitzpatrick of Liberty Property Services could not have been more professional in his real estate advice and highly successful campaign to find an appropriate buyer for our Katoomba property.  I would highly recommend his and his company's services to anyone interested in an appraisal/ sale of their property.  Marc also has a great reputation for finding appropriate properties for potential buyers.  It was a pleasure to do business with Marc and his company.

I can't say enough about how well Leanne has managed my property for at least 5 years. She is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Most important to me, as a landlord who doesn't live in the local area, her communication has been great - always answering my questions and providing information promptly and respectfully; never hassling but always on top of things. When it came time for me to sell last month, she introduced me to Marc. I can say no less of Marc. I couldn't meet him in person, but I found him to be absolutely professional and approachable, with sound advice and equally great communication. I would not hesitate in recommending Liberty to anyone. 28 Henderson Road  SOLD - June 2021

I have used Liberty Property Services as a tenant, landlord and more recently with the sale of our property.  Leanne was an excellent Property Manager and I would not hesitate to recommend her.  She was always approachable, friendly and highly professional.  She took excellent care of my tenant and also my needs as a landlord.  Anything that came up was dealt with promptly and efficiently.  Nothing was too much trouble.  When it came time to sell, Marc took the time to understand our expectations, create a beautiful marketing campaign and then managed to find us the perfect buyer.  It's always easier to hand over your home when you know it's going to the right person!  Marc and Leanne managed everything for me and I felt complete trust in their care.  I cannot thank them enough for making the experience so easy!
