STYLE
The flourishing gardens surrounding this small cottage make it feel as though you're stepping through to another world, but the interior of the home is just as impressive: A pleasant combination of modern updates and traditional features ensure the home is both welcoming and visually appealing, while the thoughtfully designed floor plan ensures there's ample distinction between spaces.

OWNER LOVES
A gardener at heart, the current owner has adored the mindful process of cultivating and maintaining the flourishing greenery to the front and rear of the property. With established magnolias, camellias, bulbs, and an ornamental cherry – and a red-leafed Japanese maple that shelters the courtyard in the summer – this property is a natural oasis in a charming, historic town.

The property:

Live in historic, bustling Morpeth while feeling worlds away in this residential oasis, with a thoughtful combination of modern renovations and traditional heritage, and a flourishing garden filled with established, flowering plant life.

The brick and Colorbond build and cottage aesthetic provide an abundance of old-world appeal from the street, with a shady front porch sheltered by a dense surrounding of expertly cultivated nature.

The charming feel of the home's exterior preludes the aesthetic you'll find as you step inside, with exposed brick, near-new carpeting, and a soft palette flowing through the front living area.

This premium carpeting meets black and white checkerboard tilework in the kitchen and dining area, which effortlessly manages to feel both modern and historical thanks to its thoughtful renovations.

The glossy, shaker-style cabinetry and crisp white splashback tiles are divided by the dark Caesarstone of the countertops, maintaining the sleek colour scheme while keeping the space bright and open. The over-sink window and remote-control skylight aid to bring in the light, as do the internally lit display cabinets to either side of the sink, ensuring that the cooking looks as good as it smells no matter the time of day.

At the opposite end of the home lies both the master and second bedrooms, and a renovated main bathroom.

Both bedrooms enjoy wool carpets underfoot for extra comfort and built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors, while the master also offers a ceiling fan and cedar plantation shutters to the northern windows.

Modern updates to the bathroom create a space that will ensure the morning and evening routines enjoy a touch of elegance, with sleek, two-tone tilework, crisp white plantation shutters, and a wide vanity with a mirrored, wall-hung cabinet.

Step outside and you'll find an oasis of natural colours and summertime aromas thanks to the current owner's love for cultivating and maintaining the garden.

The undercover verandah creates an idyllic spot to sit back with a morning coffee, midday meal, or evening glass of wine while enjoying the surrounding greenery and wildlife, while there are numerous sunny spots in the lawn to soak up some summer heat.

With established magnolias, camellias, bulbs, and an ornamental cherry – and a red-leafed Japanese maple that shelters the courtyard in the summer – this property is a natural oasis in a charming, historic town.

And with 2022 research from the University of Tokyo further strengthening the correlation between time in nature and good physical and mental health, it seems as though even science says "yes" to 57 Princess Street.

Take a step toward your exciting next chapter today, and enjoy a charming lifestyle that feels both connected to everything and worlds away for all your tomorrows.
