Set on five meticulously landscaped acres just outside of Berrima, 26 Wilkinson Street presents a private, peaceful residence filled with little luxuries.
This custom-built home was brought to life in 2004. Equipped with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a range of indoor and outdoor living spaces across two levels, it’s an incredible example of what expert design can create.
Gene Fairbanks from Ray White Bowral describes the property as peaceful, refined and unmistakably rural.
“You feel tucked away from the rest of the world here, despite being a few minutes’ walk from the centre of town,” he says.
“I absolutely love colonial-style architecture like this. There’s something so timeless about it.
“The home is grand, but not in a flashy way, and built to last with rendered brick veneer construction and a Colourbond roof. Extra-high ceilings, solid timber floors and natural textures throughout give off a calm, welcoming atmosphere.”
Entering the home, guests are led past the formal lounge and into a sunny sitting space. With a wood heater in one corner and the U-shaped kitchen steps away, it’s the ideal spot to enjoy a good book or cup of tea.
The kitchen features Smeg and Miele appliances, Caesarstone benchtops, custom cabinetry, and an elegant breakfast bar perfect for light meals.
The family and dining rooms are filled with natural light, offering serene views of the property and direct access to the front porch and back patio.
All five bedrooms at 26 Wilkinson Street are generously sized with plenty of storage.
The master bedroom is located at the front of the home, with a large walk-in wardrobe, private ensuite and classic sliding doors that open onto the front patio.
There are two more bedrooms at ground level, both measuring 4 by 4 metres. They share a country-style bathroom complete with a double vanity and a separate toilet for privacy.
“The final two bedrooms are located on the first floor, either side of a relaxed sitting area,” Gene says.
“They feature dormer windows with sweeping views of the gardens – like something out of a storybook.”
Outdoor entertainment here is a must. Twin covered decks at the rear of the home border a Yorkstone-paved patio, and across the huge lawn is a relaxed fire pit area, where chilly autumn nights are sure to inspire fireside stories with family and friends.
Quaint walking paths traverse acres of native bushland on the north side of the property, winding through mature eucalypts and soft ferns.
Additional features include a spacious garage with mezzanine storage, town water and gas connections, solar power, and 25,000 litres of tank water storage.
Berrima is a charming little town established in the early 1800s.
Set in the lush Southern Highlands countryside, about halfway between Canberra and Sydney, the village is known for its beautifully preserved heritage architecture, award-winning dining, boutique shopping, and scenic riverside strolls.
“Finding five acres so close to town is a real rarity, especially with a stunning colonial-style home like this one,” Gene says.
“I live in Berrima myself. It’s so homely, very family-friendly, and maintains an authentic village feel.
“This home would be really well-suited to a growing family looking to upsize, retirees who love to entertain, or professionals seeking a tranquil retreat from the city.”
