"Saskatoon" Superbly Presented Residence amidst easy care Sorensen Gardens

"Saskatoon" is a spectacular residence set amidst beautifully landscaped Sorensen gardens, occupying a blue-ribbon position in South Leura. It is a rare offering that combines historic charm with modern convenience and sumptuous living. Built in 1946, this house has been lovingly maintained and embraces a timeless aesthetic you'll instantly adore.
The home's architectural features reflect a Canadian hunting lodge style, characterised by timber and stone construction, a hipped gabled tiled roof, and exposed timber rafters. Original elements such as pale green wooden shutters, black and white terrazzo flooring, and blackbutt floorboards have been beautifully preserved. The vaulted wood-trimmed ceiling in the lounge and the original ashlar stonework on the front verandah enhance its charm and character.
Modern updates include a kitchen renovation completed in 2016 and a north facing sunroom with large panoramic windows, allowing for an abundance of natural light. A separate self-contained studio provides additional accommodation. Four generously sized bedrooms each offer garden views, while the original bathroom includes both a bath and shower, along with a separate WC. For year-round comfort, the home features a wood fire heater, gas bayonets, and reverse cycle air conditioning.
Situated on a fully fenced 2036m² parcel, this property is surrounded by gardens, designed by renowned landscape architect Paul Sorensen. As one of the most intact examples of his work in the Blue Mountains, the garden features dense plantings of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolia, and copper beech trees, providing spectacular seasonal displays. Picturesque pathways wind through this tranquil haven, which is supported year-round by three large water tanks. This property offers both privacy and liveability.

- "Saskatoon" is set on a 2036m² block surrounded by Sorensen-designed gardens
