Overview

53-61 Stephen Street, Lawson - NSW 2783

Nestled in the heart of Lawson, this charming character cottage is situated on a generous approximately 2,915 square meter block, offering a peaceful and leafy bushland outlook that perfectly embodies the tranquility of mountain living. This property presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a serene mountain retreat, a renovation project to personalize, or a rare landholding with significant potential. Known affectionately as "Lilac Cottage," it captures the essence of mountain lifestyle with its unique character and setting.

The rustic timber cottage radiates warmth and charm throughout, featuring beautiful hardwood-lined walls, timber-panelled ceilings, and striking slate stone floors in the living areas. The inviting living room is centered around a wood-burning fireplace, providing a cozy atmosphere ideal for the cooler Blue Mountains winters. Multiple windows in this space frame spectacular valley and mountain views that extend to the horizon. Additionally, there is a secondary living area equipped with wall-mounted heating, exposed timber beams, and a warm pendant light, which can serve as a sitting room, sunroom, or extra entertaining space.

The kitchen maintains its original cottage character, boasting timber benchtops, timber-lined walls and ceilings, exposed beams, and a gas cooktop. This area offers ample potential for a tasteful renovation that respects the home's heritage charm. The internal layout is completed by a combined bathroom and laundry, along with two comfortable bedrooms, including a generously sized main bedroom.

Externally, the property truly shines. The expansive block is enveloped by lush native bushland, established gardens, and towering trees, providing an extraordinary level of privacy and seclusion rarely found in residential areas. Practical outdoor features include a covered carport, patio, awning area, and two garden sheds. The large lawn area offers endless possibilities for families, gardening enthusiasts, or anyone with a vision to create something exceptional.

This property is a genuine Blue Mountains sanctuary, adjoining the North Lawson Waterfall Circuit. It offers near-direct access from the rear boundary to some of the region's most beautiful waterfalls, hidden gullies, and rainforest walking trails. Drone imagery highlights the spectacular elevated position backing directly onto unspoiled Blue Mountains bushland. This is a property that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Opportunities combining land size, location, character, and lifestyle like this are increasingly rare in the Mountains.
