'WAITANGI’ – c1896

‘Waitangi’ sits amongst a very tightly held and unique stretch of homes where you’ll find some of the finest examples of architecture from different eras all within 100 metres.

Originally built in 1896, it’s one of the finest examples of architecture from the late Victorian era you’ll find.

North facing and sitting on a 1,577sqms allotment with rare R3 zoning, it also has the benefit of one of the most convenient locations in the area – just 120 metres from vibrant Leura Mall and the Train Station.

It’s current usage is a residential home but could also make an exquisite place of work (subject to council approval) due to the flexible zoning.

The property has undergone an extensive heritage restoration yet it’s been enhanced with some modern touches too.

The current layout consists of 4 bedrooms downstairs and a further bedroom plus sitting room upstairs in the attic. There’s a formal lounge and separate family/dining which flows through sliding doors onto an expansive but private timber deck.

A renovated kitchen with pantry also opens onto the deck and there’s a near-new bathroom with claw-foot bath, pedestal sink and second adjacent toilet. There’s also an internal laundry.

The lock-up garage is used as storage with additional storage in the loft above. It also has an attached room with power originally used as a potting room but would also make an ideal workshop, hobby space or more storage.

Waitangi has previously featured in the Leura Garden Festival. You’d be forgiven for thinking this would be synonymous with a lot of work but the gardens have been designed to be low maintenance but still have flair.

Just some of the stand-outs include the Artisan built ‘found objects’ metal sculptures, custom paving & stone work and a collection of heritage listed trees including a rare Australian Birch tree and two gigantic Deodar trees. For convenience, there are large rainwater tanks connected to irrigation.

We love the rear gate in the garden which gives direct pedestrian access to the Council carpark leading to Woolworths and an easy short-cut to Leura Mall.

Just some of the period features within the home include wide weatherboards, fireplaces in working order, stained glass windows, French doors leading onto the magnificent wide verandah and timber flooring.
 
Modern conveniences include central gas 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!
