26 Wilkinson Street

Set on five private acres just moments from the heart of historic Berrima, this custom-built residence offers a rare balance: village proximity with genuine breathing room. From Wilkinson Street it's a short stroll to cafés, the Surveyor General Inn and galleries, yet once you arrive home the sense is unmistakably rural - birdsong, open sky and the slow rhythm that defines Southern Highlands living. Designed and constructed in 2004 with longevity in mind, the home is solid, generous and quietly confident. Rendered brick veneer construction, a Colourbond roof and BAL-compliant construction and landscaping speak to both durability and foresight. Inside, 2.7-metre ceilings, timber-panelled details and solid timber floors give the interiors warmth and scale without excess. The layout is highly adaptable, with multiple living zones that allow family life to expand and contract with ease. A formal lounge, dining room and an additional living space are complemented by a family room anchored by a solid fuel burner - ideal for Highlands winters. The open-plan kitchen sits at the centre, equipped with Smeg and Miele appliances, Caesarstone benchtops and abundant storage, making it as practical as it is social. Accommodation is generous and flexible. The main bedroom is privately positioned with a walk-in robe, ensuite and direct access to the north-facing deck. In addition, two large bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs (each with dormer windows and built-ins) are joined by a mezzanine sitting or TV room, while a separate study with built-in robe easily functions as a nursery or sixth bedroom if required. Storage has been thoughtfully addressed throughout, from walk-in linen to extensive hall cupboards. Outdoors, the rear of the home is North-facing and opens to twin covered timber decks and Yorkstone paving. The front of the house features a covered verandah which frames a beautifully balanced mix of cleared land and native bush bringing a unique, almost park-like quality to the grounds. With five acres to explore, there's space for gardens, gatherings or simply privacy - all while remaining minutes from Bowral, Moss Vale and the Hume Motorway. Practical comforts are well covered: reverse-cycle HVAC, gas bayonets, solar power, continuous hot water, town services plus 25,000 litres of tank water, and a large connected garage with mezzanine level offering further workspace or retreat potential. Zoned for well-regarded public schools and with easy access to leading Southern Highlands independents, this is a property designed for both everyday living and long-term ease.
