LOCATION… LOCATION… LOCATION… this one has it all.

And its fully renovated and restored to its former turn-of-the-century charm, READY TO MOVE INTO. There’s nothing left to do.

This beautiful old home in Maitland’s now trendy, much sort-after suburb of Horseshoe Bend is a 5 minute easy stroll along the levee bank of the Hunter River to the CBD of Maitland with all its cafes, shops, boutiques, entertainment, library and so much more. Public & private schools for all ages, and bus & train facilities are also within walking distance. The vineyards of the Hunter Valley and the beaches of Newcastle & Port Stephens are an easy drive. Just 1.5 hours north of Sydney, access to the Pacific Motorway (M1) is 15 minutes and the New England Highway only 5 minutes. You need go no further than 38 Carrington St to have the convenience of the CBD close-by, the beauty of the Hunter Valley, the Hunter River & Levee, and the ambiance of this historical neighbourhood.

The home has been lovingly restored and renovated while maintaining most of its original style & features with the lovely mix of old and new blending beautifully. Check out the street appeal, the polished floor boards, original high ornate ceilings, chandeliers, brass fittings, deep profiled skirtings, and original wrought iron on the wrap-around verandah, to mention just a few of the features.

In the wide Entry you’ll notice the original high ornate ceilings, timber arch and cooling ambiance. There’s 3 large bedrooms (2 of which have French doors that open to the wrap-around verandah), with the master Bed opening directly into the bathroom. The large formal Lounge has a gas log fire & original mantle, the beautiful Family room captures all the morning sun and opens to the verandah, and the Dining room can cater to a large family. The Kitchen utilises the original fireplace with a new retro ‘Belling’ gas stove and range-hood, corner pantry, dishwasher, island and plenty of cupboards makes this a kitchen you’ll enjoy entertaining from.

A home office/Bed 4, laundry, store room (with full height shelves) and large deck have been added at the rear overlooking the manicured gardens.

Strolling into the garden of the 681m2 corner block with its recessed side entry, you’ll see the lovely paved areas & pathways, gazebo to relax in, sensor lights, and masses of bird-attracting trees & shrubs. The property is beautifully fenced (yes a white picket fence) so children and pets would be quite secure.

To the rear of the property is a carport (closed in on one side for privacy and weather protection), shed with work bench and storage shelves, work alcove off the shed with bench and original concrete twin tubs connected to a water tank. There’s also another WC.

The vendor has decided to downsize, so is keen to move on.
