Historical Home in the Heart Of Dungog
Step into timeless elegance with this stunning Federation residence, where classic charm meets modern comfort. Set amid beautifully established gardens, a sweeping verandah and grand proportions create a sense of space and sophistication rarely found in contemporary homes.
Known as Gilchrist House, this iconic property carries a rich local history, named after a respected doctor who lived and practised here in the early 1900s. Today, it proudly showcases the finest features of its era-polished timber floorboards, soaring timber ceilings, original light fittings, a graceful central hallway, and striking stone fireplaces.
Thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage, the home also offers complete peace of mind with updated wiring and plumbing, ensuring all the conveniences of modern living are seamlessly integrated.
At the heart of the home is a spacious country-style kitchen with stone benchtops, flowing into a relaxed informal living area-perfect for everyday living and entertaining. For more formal occasions, separate lounge and dining rooms provide an elegant setting.
The luxurious master suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, and its own fireplace. Two generous queen-sized bedrooms open onto the verandah via French doors, while a versatile fourth bedroom or office shares a well-appointed main bathroom.
Downstairs, charming brick arches lead to a unique cellar, a working well, and abundant storage space-adding yet another layer of character and practicality.
Set on approximately half an acre (approx 2021sqm) of landscaped gardens with heritage roses and mature trees, the property enjoys picturesque views to the Cooreei Hills. Despite its peaceful setting, it's just a short stroll to the centre of town.
Dungog continues to grow as a vibrant and welcoming rural community, offering an enviable lifestyle within easy reach of Newcastle and Maitland, and only a scenic drive to Barrington Tops or the stunning Mid North Coast beaches.
