At 57 Church Street, Yass, a thoughtful renovation brings heritage character and modern comfort together in a refined take on contemporary country style.
Positioned on a 1500 sqm corner block in one of Yass’s most tightly held streets, Lilith is a classic 1920s double-brick home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, sunny open-plan living, and incredible outdoor entertainment options.
As they step over the threshold, visitors are led past original solid timber doors, exposed brick and a charming combustion fireplace into the kitchen/meals area.
The kitchen features integrated appliances, induction cooking and a spacious walk-in pantry, which home chefs will no doubt look forward to testing out.
“You feel right at home as soon as you enter. The atmosphere here is relaxed and inviting,” sales agent Cazz Blyss says.
“The open-plan lounge and dining zones are filled with light. They feel expansive yet intimate, defined by natural textures and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
“High ceilings and natural textures create a distinct sense of space while large, elevated windows bring the outside in.”
French doors extend the living zone onto a covered timber deck with direct access to a versatile study – ultra convenient for anyone who works remotely or runs a home-based business.
The primary residence includes three generous bedrooms, each with original leadlight windows and leafy views. Vibrant blue, red, and green designs catch sunlight and add a little bit of magic to every space.
The master suite offers a walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite, while bedrooms two and three share a stylish family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, separate shower and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
Bedroom three is further enhanced by an ornate ceiling which offers a subtle reminder of the home’s 1920s origins.
Lilith’s fourth bedroom is just a short stroll away, within a private, fully self-contained tiny home.
Set away from the main house, this studio-style accommodation includes a modern ensuite, a light-filled living space, and its own entertaining deck, ideal for guests, creative pursuits, or a teenager’s retreat.
Outdoor living is a defining feature at Lilith.
Lush, low-maintenance gardens frame the home. Large pavers lead across the established lawn to a covered alfresco area with an adjacent fire pit, perfect for evening entertainment.
Just a few steps further and guests will reach a purpose-built shed measuring 18 by 12 metres – Cazz’s favourite feature on the property.
“Connected to three-phase power and complete with its own bathroom, the shed is an incredible entertainer’s retreat in a league of its own,” she says.
“It features a full bar and ‘man-cave’ with a cinema-scale projector and screen, plus mezzanine storage, and there’s still more than enough room for six cars or a home workshop in the garage portion.”
Further covered parking includes a double carport beside the shed, and a high-clearance double carport suitable for a caravan, boat or horse float further up the driveway.
Yass is an old-school country town with a great love for all things local.
The community enjoys a vibrant hospitality scene, modern amenities and easy access to Canberra.
The Yass Valley region hosts a wide range of celebrated cool-climate wine producers, including Lake George Winery, Shaw Estate, Clonakilla and Helm Wines.
“Lilith is a rare offering – beautiful, versatile, and right in the heart of town,” Cazz says.
“The home is private and spacious, but is still within easy walking distance of cafes, restaurants, shopping, essential services, and historic Banjo Paterson Park.
“Anyone looking for refined country living with room to grow would be well looked after here.”
57 Church Street in Yass is for sale by negotiation. For more information or to book a private inspection, contact Cazz Blyss on 0407 483 447.
