The three bedroom and one bathroom house at 18 Wilson Street, Katoomba is a salmon-coloured bungalow, one of only three remaining in the area.
The history of the cottage is reminiscent of the Three Sisters; three siblings who built these cottages next to each other many years ago.
One of the siblings wanted their cottage to stand out from the three, so they painted the facade pink and sky blue.
Listed through Brenden Purcell of Purcell Property, the 627sqm property has been guided at $1.15 million and is available through a letter of intent.
"The seller, whose name is 'Ellen', is an artist who has lived in the property for the past 40 years. Ellen likes the bright colours on the exterior of the cottage, so she has decorated the interior in pinks and greens.
"We've received a lot of interest from Sydney buyers who are looking for a lifestyle property. I think as we get back to normal after the pandemic, a lot of buyers want to enjoy the flexibility of working from home and commuting to work."
Many of the home's original features remain intact, including decorative ceilings, original timber floors, feature leaded light windows, traditional tiled bathrooms and a freestanding claw-foot bath.
Buyers who prefer to grow their own fruit and vegetables can grow potatoes, figs, almonds, plums, lemons, apricots, apples and blueberries in the vegetable patch.
There is also potential scope for a second storey (STCA) to be added to the property to take advantage of the views of Lone Mountain.
Mr Purcell says many buyers who have seen the Katoomba property have been attracted by its original character design and therefore do not want to change it into something new.
