Occupying a prominent corner position on approximately half an acre along tree-lined Lurline Street, this magnificent Queen Anne-style residence (distinct within the broader Federation period) represents one of the area's most compelling mixed-use offerings. Rich in architectural character and set behind established gardens, the property combines grand proportions with a rare commercial advantage, formerly operating as the renowned Pins on Lurline fine dining restaurant. With its landmark presence and tightly held setting just 800 metres from the world-famous Three Sisters and Echo Point in Katoomba, it delivers lifestyle, tourism exposure and investment appeal in equal measure.
At the heart of the commercial component is the fully equipped restaurant premises, offered as a genuine going concern (currently temporarily closed). The commercial kitchen, complete front and back-of-house fit-out, liquor licence, active DA, and established branding remain in place, with the website live and strong online rankings maintained. With seating for approximately 60 patrons across indoor and outdoor dining areas and nine on-site car spaces, the infrastructure is ready for an immediate relaunch, allowing a purchaser to recommence fine dining operations within weeks. Privately positioned apart from the restaurant, the residence enjoys its own well-appointed family kitchen, generous dining area and two substantial living rooms, ensuring clear separation between hospitality and home life.
The accommodation is generous and character-filled, comprising three bedrooms plus a study, including a main bedroom with ensuite. Soaring 3-metre ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, stained-glass windows and original timber skirts and architraves showcase the elegance and craftsmanship of the Queen Anne era. A self-contained cottage positioned within the grounds provides additional flexibility for guest accommodation, extended family living or supplementary rental income, further enhancing the property's versatility for both owner-occupiers and investors.
Outside, expansive lawns and established plantings frame the residence and commercial premises without overwhelming the scale of the landholding, creating a sense of privacy and presence befitting its stature. Beyond its immediate lifestyle appeal, the property offers potential for further adaptation or conversion to an expansive primary residence (STCA), while investors may recognise the opportunity to lease the restaurant, the cottage, or both to generate multiple income streams. Positioned within one of the Blue Mountains' most sought-after tourism corridors, moments from its most iconic natural attractions, this is a rare chance to secure architectural distinction, commercial readiness and long-term flexibility in one exceptional holding.
