61-65 Leichhardt Street

There is a quiet sense of history and permanence at "Carcoola", one of Blackheath's most distinctive heritage holdings. Set on over an acre of established, landscaped grounds in the heart of the village, this handsome 1920s Federation home offers a rare combination of character, scale, and flexibility. Equally suitable as a private residence or an investment with strong short-term accommodation potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure a tightly held estate. The main residence is a single-storey, double-brick home of enduring quality, framed by a classic gabled roofline, deep wraparound verandah, and timber double-hung windows. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, original timber fretwork, and detailing create a feeling of space and authenticity, while thoughtful updates ensure everyday comfort. Accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master boasts a luxury ensuite complete with a clawfoot bath, separate shower recess, and a private garden outlook. The family bathroom also enjoys an elegant contemporary aesthetic. The updated kitchen sits at the heart of the home, offering both practicality and connection to the adjoining living and dining spaces. Beyond the main residence, the converted original chauffeur's quarters present a self-contained one-bedroom dwelling. This additional accommodation enhances the property's appeal for multi-generational living, guest use, or as a supplementary income stream. The grounds are a defining feature of "Carcoola". They are expansive, private, and beautifully established, with mature trees, open lawns, and two garden sheds. Importantly, the property includes two subdivided blocks, offering scope to sell, develop, or retain as a substantial private estate (STCA). Positioned within easy reach of Blackheath's cafés, shops, and renowned walking trails, "Carcoola" delivers both lifestyle and long-term potential in one compelling offering. - Iconic "Carcoola" heritage estate in central Blackheath, set on approx. 4,567 sqm - Property includes two subdivided blocks within established, landscaped gardens - Substantial 1920s Federation home with gabled roof and double-brick construction - High 10-foot ceilings; Art Deco pendant light; original timber double-hung windows - Deep wraparound verandah offering all-weather seating; bedrooms with garden outlooks - Elegant living room with slow-combustion fireplace; ducted gas heating throughout - Updated kitchen with functional layout; separate dining room with access to entertaining courtyard - Three spacious bedrooms in the main residence-master with luxury ensuite and clawfoot bath - Self-contained one-bedroom granny flat with slow-combustion fireplace; reverse-cycle wall unit; bathroom with internal laundry - Single garage to rear with laneway vehicular access; garden shed for maintenance utilities - Gentle 900 m walk to Blackheath Village and city train links; easy access to iconic lookouts
