Nestled in the charming township of Lorn, this beautifully renovated cottage captures the essence of country living with all the modern comforts you'd expect.
Lorn offers a semi-rural lifestyle just 5 minutes from Maitland and 45 minutes from Newcastle. The Hunter Valley vineyards are a quick 25 minute drive away, making weekend adventures a breeze. Cafes, shops, and the picturesque Lorn Park Oval are all within walking distance, offering the perfect blend of peaceful living, with convenient access to everything you need.
Set on a sought after 674.5 sqm block, this circa 1900s residence boasts stunning street appeal, framed by blossoming Jacaranda trees and classic white timber picket fencing, leading you up a rhyolite dust driveway with side access. The fibre cement cladded exterior, crowned with a Colorbond roof, sets the tone for this fully refurbished gem in one of Lorn's most desirable locations.
Stepping inside through the solid timber and frosted glass entry door, you're greeted by a sense of grandeur. The wide hallway, adorned with floating floorboards, leads you through the home, showcasing soaring 3.3m ceilings in the front rooms and an even loftier 3.5m ceiling toward the kitchen and rear living spaces. LED downlights and ceiling fans illuminate and cool the home, while ornate cornices and elegant feature ceilings highlight the home's original charm.
At the front of the house, the master retreat is a luxurious haven with soft wool patterned carpet underfoot, timber framed windows draped in sheer curtains, and a beautiful original fireplace with exposed brick. The built-in wardrobes with three sliding doors provide ample storage, while the ensuite elevates luxury with floor to ceiling ceramic wall tiling, marble ceramic floor tiles, and matte black tapware. The large feature-tiled shower, complete with black-framed glass doors, complements the sleek wall hung timber vanity with its round basin and push drawer cabinets. Black towel hooks, a three bay light with an exhaust fan, and a frosted window complete this chic, modern bathroom.
Further down the hallway, the additional four bedrooms continue the same attention to detail, with soft wool carpets, ornate cornices, built-in wardrobes, and ceiling fans in every room. Two boast S-fold Pearl oasis sheer curtains, while the others feature white venetian blinds. Ducted air conditioning keeps all rooms cool, thanks to the Daikin 8-zone system in place.
The main bathroom is equally stunning, with marble ceramic floor to ceiling tiling, matte black tapware, and a luxurious walk-in shower with a glass wall and feature showerhead. A deep freestanding bathtub offers the perfect place to unwind, while the wall hung timber vanity, with its sleek 20mm benchtop and above counter basin, adds a stylish touch. A long mirror above the vanity and frosted louvre windows ensure privacy and elegance in this thoughtfully designed space. Adjacent, the powder room continues the same high end finishes, with feature marble ceramic tiles, a ceramic sink, matte black tapware, and an exhaust fan for convenience.
The heart of the home is the open plan living and dining area, filled with natural light streaming through dual glass sliding doors leading out to the wrap around alfresco. Floating floorboards tie the space together, and the sleek design of ceiling fans, LED downlights, and ceiling mounted speakers make this area perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen is a showstopper with 40mm Corian benchtops, a long island bench with a breakfast bar, and premium AEG appliances, including a 900mm 5-burner gas cooktop, electric oven, and range hood. A herringbone ceramic splashback adds style, while soft-close cabinetry and a Franke dual deep stainless steel sink offer both beauty and function. The Corian servery benchtop connects to the alfresco through a timber framed glass window.
The butler's pantry and laundry continue with 40mm Corian benchtops, a deep Franke stainless steel basin, and soft-close overhead cabinetry. It's equipped with plenty of pantry storage, push-open cabinets, and space for the washing machine.
The covered alfresco area is perfect for year round entertaining, featuring stained timber decking, a matte black ceiling fan, and LED downlights. Timber and wire railing wrap around the deck, while an open timber beamed roof enhances the outdoor atmosphere.
