Overview

23 Park Avenue, Blackheath

Located on the corner of Park Avenue and Gardiner's Crescent, this residence is just a five-minute walk from the vibrant village of Blackheath, offering abundant mid-century charm. Constructed contemporaneously with the heritage-listed former Commonwealth Bank on Wentworth Street as the manager's residence, this property is a true gem.

Situated on a corner block with a highly sought-after northern outlook over Blackheath's Memorial Park and swimming pool, the elevated position is exceptional. The house is solidly built with a strong mid-century aesthetic, awaiting a new owner to restore it to its former glory.

The layout is thoughtfully designed with a logical flow, featuring oversized rooms and large windows that capture park views and winter sunlight. The garage includes a unique concertina door, and the main entrance is located on the Gardiner's Crescent side of the house. The entry hall is spacious with an original mosaic floor. To the left are the main living areas, including a large lounge room adjoining the dining area and kitchen, all open plan and reflecting mid-century style.

The hardwood floors are in excellent condition, having been covered by carpet for most of their life, ensuring they are tight with no squeaks or gaps. These rooms open onto a large sunroom that captures winter sun throughout the day, providing a perfect space to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

The kitchen is original, offering an opportunity to create a special and stylish space. A short flight of stairs leads to the upper level where the three bedrooms are located. The raised design and clerestory windows ensure ample northern light, and all bedrooms feature original timber floors. Built-in curtain pelmets are ready for long curtains, and each bedroom includes built-in robes, preserving room sizes without sacrificing storage.

The upper level also includes a spacious bathroom and a laundry with direct undercover access to the garage, a practical advantage in the often challenging mountain weather. The bathroom is large, featuring a blue color scheme and is in very good original condition, maintaining its authentic vibe.
