The Property:

Afford yourself a little luxury with this masterfully maintained and elegantly updated Lorn property, and begin your next chapter in one of the Hunter Valley's most enviable streets.

From the white picket fence to the rendered brick cornerstones and vine-draped bullnose verandah, it's easy to see why the current owners will miss the charm of this low-maintenance home.

Set on a wide tree-lined street and surrounded by stylish period properties, this family home has plenty of appeal, with original features throughout and subtle updates to effortlessly bring the space into the modern day.

A traditional layout sees a central hallway lead through to the open plan kitchen and dining room, which would originally have been the back of the house before an additional living space was added at the rear around 47 years ago.

Three bedrooms are located towards the front of the home, with a good-sized master overlooking the garden, while a compact fourth bedroom or possible study is accessible via the family room extension.

A formal lounge room is located adjacent to the bedrooms, offering a warm and cosy space to curl up with a good book in front of the stunning cast iron fireplace with decorative mantle.

Period features including higher ceilings with painted timber panelling, higher skirting boards and the rich texture of the original floorboards offer an elegant reminder of the history of the home, while newer floorboards laid in the kitchen, dining room, family room and study were carefully selected to echo the existing heritage style.

The brand new Hamptons-style kitchen is full of tasteful contrasts, with the rough textures of the exposed brick feature walls sitting alongside the sleek, new cabinetry, stone laminate benchtops and delicate chandelier.

The seamless rear extension gives the home a second large living area in which to entertain friends or relax with the family, with a gorgeous set of timber and glass panelled sliding doors providing access to the rear-covered alfresco area.

A hallway off this living space leads through to a good-sized laundry and a stunning family bathroom. Sleek grey floor tiles, a semi-frameless shower screen and double-basin vanity with marble benchtops adding to the luxurious modern look, while a freestanding clawfoot bath and twin rectangular mirrors with decorative vintage-style silver frames echo the home's overall period ambience.

Outside, the covered verandah running along the back of the house provides a peaceful spot to watch children, grandchildren, or fur babies enjoying the lush green lawn and established gardens in the private yard, while the two new pergolas with brick paving underfoot provided even more spaces to enjoy the outdoors.

Situated in one of the finest streets in the picturesque riverside suburb of Lorn, this property is within walking distance of the local primary school, sporting facilities and neighbourhood shopping precinct.

Across the other side of the Hunter River via the Belmore Bridge sits the revitalised Levee precinct in Maitland's city centre, which is a thriving hub of restaurants, cafes, boutiques and businesses and the gateway to the wider Maitland area, while the suburb's proximity to the New England Highway provides connectivity to key regional attractions.
