Nestled a short walk from Dungog's main street, 126 Abelard Street embodies everything there is to love about country town living. A classic federation style weatherboard cottage dating back to the early 1900s, this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home has been lovingly restored and maintained, inside and out.
With its practical layout and charming original features, it's the ideal home for a downsizer or young family wanting entry into the market and a place to call home. The property would also make an ideal rental or high-yield Airbnb venture. Situated on an expansive 1,997sqm block, it even comes complete with a standalone Yurt that can be used for recreation, as a home office or guest accommodation.
WELCOME HOME
Walk in through the gorgeous front garden and covered verandah, and you'll discover a beautifully welcoming and stylish home, brimming with character and special features. From the hardwood timber floorboards to the original fireplace and mantle, the home has the look and feel of a heritage home, updated for modern living.
SPACE FOR EVERYTHING YOU LOVE
With high 9-foot ceilings, the living areas and bedrooms provide ample room to move, and a separate dining room offers flexibility and space. Both bedrooms have double door built in wardrobes, and the master offers additional overhead storage and built-in desk top. A sun-drenched north-facing sunroom gives you the perfect place to enjoy a cuppa (plus two handy extra linen cupboards), and out the back, a large undercover entertaining area is made for relaxed entertaining.
THE HEART OF THE HOME
Home cooks and entertainers, this is the country-style kitchen of your dreams. The original exposed brick chimney with decorative pressed tin splashback is complemented by a modern stainless steel preparation bench, oven and cooktop – and crisp white cabinetry has timeless appeal. Smeg and Miele appliances ensure a high quality cooking experience, and thoughtful touches (like generous pantry space and a breakfast bar with power points) make the day-to-day that bit more seamless.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS
One of this home's stand-out features is its outdoor space – which include an expansive back lawn, established gardens, mature trees and your very own stone-retained creek complete with solid timber bridge. A great deal of time and love has been invested in the upkeep of the landscaping, and green thumbs have plenty of scope to grow fruit and veg, and add their own touches. The home also comes with a stand-alone Yurt, which is fully lined, air-conditioned and ready to enjoy however you please.
PERFECT IN EVERY SEASON
Equipped with a slow combustion wood fired heater, reverse cycle air-conditioner, natural ventilation and gas bayonets for heating, the home is set up to keep you comfortable all year round. A 12 panel solar system helps reduce your emissions and save on power bills, and an electric hot water system keeps your showers piping hot! Whether you greet the morning from your front verandah, or spend afternoons under the shady entertaining area out the back, there are spaces to enjoy all year round.
THE SWEET SPOT
Less than 1km from Dungog's main street, this home is within easy walking distance of everything Dungog has to offer – from the shops and cafes of the main street, to the local high and public schools, swimming pool, sporting fields, medical centre and hospital, recently upgraded library, and the beautiful Dungog Common with the ever popular mountain bike track. Plus, you're still within an hour of Maitland and Newcastle, and an easy 2 hour 40 drive to Sydney.
TICKING EVERY BOX
While it's big on charm, this home is also big on practicality. From the secure house fence, garage and carport, to the garden sheds and well-appointed bathroom and laundry, you'll find all your daily needs taken care of. Gas and electric connections are installed, along with NBN Wi-Fi, and you have the convenience of being connected to mains water, power and sewer. This is country living, with all the comforts you could ask for!
