140 Mayne Street is a remarkable period residence where grand proportions, original craftsmanship and thoughtful modern improvements come together beautifully. An impressive property set on approx 2,023sqm parcel of land in the heart of historic Murrurundi.
From the moment you enter, the scale and character of the home are immediately apparent. Handmade brick walls up to half a metre thick, soaring ceilings exceeding 4.5 metres, oversized windows, wide timber floorboards and original cedar joinery speak to the quality of another era.
Offering five generous bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate powder room, the home provides exceptional accommodation for family and guests. Six fireplaces feature throughout, including wood-burning fireplaces in the living areas and main bedroom, adding warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen combining modern functionality with the property's heritage. A walk-in pantry, original working Rayburn cooker and striking pressed-metal ceilings imported from England are among the many details that make this home truly distinctive.
Generous living and entertaining spaces are complemented by wonderful outdoor areas. The wide upper verandah enjoys an elevated outlook over Mayne Street and the surrounding countryside, while the rear deck takes in sweeping views.
Outside, established gardens and a vine-covered pergola create inviting spaces to relax and entertain. Beyond the gardens, a rear paddock provides further versatility, with space for a horse or simply more space to relax under the established trees.
Positioned prominently within Murrurundi, the property also offers exciting potential beyond its use as a substantial private residence. Its layout, scale and zoning may lend themselves to a range of possibilities including boutique accommodation, a gallery, studio, café or professional rooms, subject to the relevant approvals.
With its extraordinary proportions, rich architectural detail and commanding position, 140 Mayne Street represents a rare opportunity to secure one of Murrurundi's most distinctive properties.
A home of genuine history and presence, ready for its next chapter.
