Ideally positioned in a quiet street on renowned Hospital Hill, 12 Mayal Street, Murwillumbah is a wonderful example of the enduring quality of an era (circa 1980) when they built homes the old-fashioned way.
Superb integrity prevails across this substantial two-storey residence with double brick across the ground level, hardwood frame/brick veneer through the upper level and suspended concrete slab wrap-around veranda.
Surrounded by lush, leafy established gardens providing a constant connection to nature and an elevated position capturing an impressive farmland and mountain outlook, stretching across a patchwork of farmland to Springbrook, The Cougals and surrounding mountain ranges. The home's favourable northerly aspect welcomes warm winter sunshine while providing protection from the intensity of the western summer heat. As the day progresses, cooling coastal breezes from the east travel across the farmland — another natural advantage of this beautifully positioned home.
Beautiful original timber floors and an abundance of natural light add warmth and character to the lounge and dining area, each opening through sliding doors to the covered verandah, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. With the view unfolding before you, it is an inviting place to entertain, enjoy a quiet morning coffee or simply watch the changing light of the day move across the landscape.
At the heart of the upper level, the generously proportioned kitchen offers excellent workspace and storage, complemented by a stainless steel induction cooktop and electric oven.
Three bedrooms complete the upper level. The main bedroom enjoys a walk-in robe, ensuite with shower, toilet and vanity and sliding-door access to its own patio. The main bathroom includes both a bathtub and separate shower, with the convenience of a separate toilet.
Ambient, year round comfort is assured with ceiling fans in the kitchen, lounge and bedrooms, split system air conditioning to the main bedroom & dining/lounge and energy efficient Honeycomb Blinds (providing thermal insulation) to the lounge and main bedroom.
More Space. More Possibility.
Downstairs, the scale, versatility and potential of the property become even more apparent. A stunning textural rendered entry and solid timber staircase lead to the upper level. The option to separate the studio for complete privacy is an easy task.
The wonderfully substantial studio features extra-high ceilings (steel rsj beam support), polished concrete floors, split system air conditioning and an abundance of natural light. This space offers genuine flexibility — whether imagined as additional living for extended family or guests, a creative studio, work from home office, gym/wellness space or home business.
A separate queen-sized bedroom with built-in robe and neutral toned carpet also occupies this level. An existing toilet and powder basin add further functionality, with potential to incorporate a shower and create a complete lower-level bathroom.
A Home of Substance — Ready to Evolve
Outside, established gardens ensconce the residence in greenery and privacy. The landscaping is largely low maintenance, with minimal mowing required, while the terraced rear section of the block incorporates a garden shed and chicken coop, complete with solar powered automatic door.
From the quiet street frontage, lock-up garage access provides secure parking, while the suspended concrete slab above creates an unexpected additional outdoor space — a lovely place to gather with friends, enjoy an afternoon drink or simply take advantage of the home's elevated garden setting.
Perhaps one of the greatest attributes of 12 Mayal Street is the balance it achieves between outlook, privacy and convenience. Completely removed from flood risk and tucked into a quiet street within walking distance (950m) of the town centre, M|Arts Precinct, cafés and restaurants.
12 Mayal Street's appeal lies in its elegant simplicity and styling, solid construction, natural materials, generous spaces and a design that makes the most of its aspect, natural light and outlook.
Comfortable as it stands, yet offering scope for its next owners to make it distinctly their own, this is a home with substance, warmth and genuine possibility.
