UNIQUE FOUR LEVEL LIVING – HISTORIC WATER RESERVOIR CONVERSION

Offering something truly different, 2/270A Havannah Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a unique four-level residence within the beautifully converted historic Bathurst Water Tower. Originally serving as a reservoir for Bathurst’s railway steam trains, this remarkable building has been thoughtfully transformed into distinctive accommodation, with its fascinating history reflected throughout in features such as stained glass windows and historical photographs. The conversion was completed between 2013 and 2019.

Spanning approximately 300m² (excluding balconies, garage and basement), this impressive residence offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an incredibly versatile floorplan across four levels. The uppermost level is a real highlight, featuring the main living area and master bedroom, complemented by the original timber roof structure from the water tower. Facing north, this level enjoys excellent natural warmth throughout winter, while the separate living and accommodation levels provide outstanding flexibility for extended family, guests or those seeking additional privacy.

The second level offers three bedrooms, a large bathroom, separate toilet, kitchenette and its own living area, with the option to isolate this level from the upper floor via an internal locking door. The ground level provides secure garage accommodation with EV charging, while on the fourth level, the basement offers an additional storage area with a fascinating history of its own.
