Offering low maintenance living just minutes from the city centre, this charming cottage ticks plenty of boxes with a lovely combination of old world charm and modern renovations.
Set on a compact 431sqm block that ensures you wont spend your weekends restricted by housework, the two bedroom, two bathroom property is perfectly positioned to make the most of all Maitland has to offer.
Relax on your front verandah or rear covered deck with a morning coffee before heading out to enjoy a walk in the leafy surrounds of the nearby Maitland Park. The showpiece of the citys open space assets, the park features an extensive childrens adventure playground and a range of sporting infrastructure from indoor and outdoor swimming pools to croquet lawns, cricket grounds, lawn bowling greens and synthetic hockey fields.
The local bowling club provides the perfect place to meet up with friends or enjoy a bite to eat in the bistro, while the nearby showground is a hive of activity hosting everything from monthly markets and the annual agricultural show to weekly greyhound races, occasional harness racing meetings, a major caravan, camping and outdoors exhibition and countless other events.
Maitlands revitalised Levee precinct is also within walking distance, offering a mix of commercial businesses, interesting boutiques, a selection of supermarkets and retail stores. Set on the banks of the Hunter River, the Levee is developing a growing reputation as a culinary hot spot, with a range of cafes, bars, restaurants and historic pubs catering to every taste.
When you just want to relax inside your own four walls this property offers a peaceful retreat, with a large living area, open plan kitchen and dining room and two oversized bedrooms, one of which could be converted into an additional living area if desired.
The home has been stylishly updated with modern fittings and finishes, while still allowing the original character of the building to shine through with features such as lovely stepped cornices and big bay windows in the front bedrooms.
Higher ceilings and large glass doors and windows ensure the home feels airy and bright, while a neutral colour scheme including crisp white cabinetry in the updated kitchen helps reflect the light around the rooms.
While compact in size, the home has been well designed to make the most of every inch of space with plenty of built-in storage options, from the large his and hers walk-in wardrobes in the master to the custom built-in shelving in the second bedroom and living area.
A double door pantry, island bench and overhead and underbench cupboards provide plenty of storage and preparation space in the kitchen, while an oversized vanity, wall-hung mirrored cabinets and built-in benchtop add to the practicality of the combined laundry and second bathroom.
The focus on storage space continues outside, with a large double garage and attached double carport at the rear of the property providing ample space for all your cars, tools and other equipment. Access to the garage is via Campbells Lane to the rear, giving the property dual street frontages.
Ideal for first home buyers, retirees or downsizers looking for a low maintenance lifestyle, this South Maitland cottage is full of features, while its central location and access to major road infrastructure and public transport options puts the attractions of Maitland, Newcastle, Pokolbin and Port Stephens within easy reach.
