Offered for sale, for the very first time to the public is the iconic Station Masters Residence in Branxton. Set on a wonderful parcel of approximately 1580sqm of land. This is a property with an interesting twist, loads of character and charm. Live here and love it as this family has for over 50 years. You could run a business from here and live onsite, this has loads of potential. There is more here than meets the eye! Located just one minute to the Hunter expressway and Newcastle and Muswellbrook are approx. an hour's commute. Cessnock, Singleton, and Maitland all less than a half hour drive. Branxton is a thriving community that still has that small town feel, a very welcoming and community spirited town to live in.
After being purchased from the State Rail Authority, this home was lovingly restored and renovated in the early 90's and has been a wonderful family home. Many family gatherings and Christmases have been spent running around this yard and it will be very sad to see it go. But the time has come as some things just can't go on forever. We are looking for a new owner to take this iconic property to its next level. In need of a little cosmetic loving, a lick of paint inside, and you are pretty set to go.
The original home was constructed in the early 1900's for the town's Station Master. A renovation on the late 90's saw some of what was, reborn and some modern aspects added. A beautiful job was done. Years of paint stripped from stunning wide skirting boards and doors, timber floorboards polished, brick chimneys sandblasted, and the age and beauty of sandstock brick fireplaces exposed, even the original lining boards adorn the walls of the original part of the house. If you like character you will love this. Its not perfect but its authentic and that's what adds to the beauty. From the wrap verandahs and soaring high ceilings to the established garden and plantings providing a gorgeous oasis for family living and lifelong memories to be formed.
The home enjoys two large separate living areas and three lovely sized bedrooms. The lounge opens via French doors to the side verandah and yard, a picturesque outlook, whilst the family room flows from the kitchen and open plan dining to the back verandah.
