Built in 1915 and lovingly held in the same family for over a century, this enchanting weatherboard cottage affectionately known as “The Haven” long before street numbers were a thing, blends timeless charm with everyday liveability, right in the heart of one of the region's most sought after areas.
Ideally positioned in East Maitland, this handy location enjoys effortless access to local schools, parks, public transport and shopping centres, with the vibrant Maitland CBD and riverside Levee precinct just 10 minutes away. When it's time to explore further, the gourmet indulgences of the Hunter Valley vineyards are only 30 minutes up the road, while Newcastle's beaches and city lights are an easy 40 minute drive from home.
A classic picket fence, a grassed front lawn and established gardens offer a warm welcome upon arrival, with a charming front verandah hinting at the character waiting inside. Step through the front door and you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings, extra high skirting boards and quality floorboards that run throughout the front half of the home, providing a warm and homely feel.
Two of the four bedrooms sit at the entrance of the home, with pendant lighting and soft sheer curtains for that calm, cottage style vibe. The third bedroom, featuring a pendant light and Venetian blinds, enjoys direct access to a sunroom, offering a versatile space for a potential WIR & ensuite.
The three way bathroom is both functional and stylish, with a freestanding bath, a shower and a separate WC, perfect for busy mornings or relaxing soaks.
Two distinct living areas provide space for the whole family to unwind. The formal lounge features sheer curtains, a pendant light and Toshiba split system air conditioning for year round comfort. Step into the living room and you'll find a ceiling fan and a cosy gas fireplace perfect for those cool winter nights.
The kitchen offers both form and function, featuring 40mm benchtops, a built-in pantry, a dual sink, a freestanding CHEF oven with gas cooktop, and a decorative original oven to remind you of the home's storied past.
Just off the kitchen, a versatile fourth bedroom or study provides exciting potential to expand into an open plan kitchen/living/dining layout looking onto the alfresco and backyard.
The dining space is well positioned with a ceiling fan, roman blinds, and a sliding glass door leading to a generous undercover alfresco, complete with retractable blinds, perfect for year round relaxation and entertaining. The fully fenced yard is framed by established gardens, offering plenty of greenery and space to play.
