Built in the late 19th century and attributed to renowned Hunter architect JW Pender, Inverness is a confident showcase of Victorian craftsmanship. Its restoration has been handled with care and restraint, protecting the character of the original design while delivering a space that feels generous, comfortable, and genuinely liveable today.
What really sets this property apart is its MU1 Mixed Use zoning. It’s already suited to commercial use yet opens the door to residential conversion (STCA), giving you the flexibility to live, work, or blend in a way that adapts to your vision.
Soaring 12-foot ceilings set an immediate sense of grandeur, with original cedar joinery and multiple marble fireplaces framing a sequence of beautifully proportioned rooms that adapt easily to modern living. The scale of each space allows living areas and bedrooms to be used interchangeably, offering flexibility without losing the home’s formal style.
The upper-level living room is light-filled, impressive in scale, and opens onto the classic lacework verandah where it’s easy to imagine morning coffee, evening drinks, and quiet moments. Outdoors, the rear sandstone-flagged courtyard feels like a private European piazza. It’s quiet, leafy, and thoughtfully planted with fruit trees and established gardens, while off-street parking completes the package.
Maitland blends heritage streetscapes with a growing café and dining culture. The Hunter River, local parklands, and excellent connectivity to Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter Valley make it as practical as it is appealing. Community-minded and well connected, it offers the ease of a regional city with genuine depth and character.
