This is a unique opportunity for you to secure an unsurpassed example of federation architecture located in one of the most desirable riverside villages on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales.
Kendall, originally named 'Camden Heads' as the river port of the Camden Haven River, was renamed in 1891 after the Australian poet Henry Kendall. Henry Kendall lived in the area from 1875 to 1881 when he was the first Forest Inspector for New South Wales.
This home is a magnificent example of Federation architecture originally built in 1921 by the Longworth family, who were the operators of a major sawmill within the village.
In 1956 the home was purchased by the current owner's family, and is now offered to the open market for the first time in 66 years.
It is truly evident from the moment you enter that the vendor has lovingly cared for, renovated and maintained the rich history of this iconic home.
Featuring wide covered verandahs, high ceilings, stained glass windows, large entry, central hallway and polished hardwood floors, it provides four bedrooms plus a studio and five bathrooms.
All bedrooms and the studio have direct ensuite or main bathroom access.
Living spaces include the large central lounge and a separate dining area adjacent to the kitchen.
The solid timber kitchen has been recently renovated and includes stone benchtops and quality appliances.
Accessed via a covered walkway is the large workshop / garage which measures 11.8m x 6.8m, plus a studio with ensuite creating the ideal home office or option for additional accommodation.
This building has been constructed to complement the home, and would be ideal for an expanded home business, extra accommodation or expansive living spaces if needed. If utilised in this way, there is still another carport in front of this building providing off street parking for two vehicles.
All of this rests on a large, level double block (two titles) comprising 2023 sqm in total, which boasts expanses of lawns and landscaped gardens.
This location provides easy access to all the services of Kendall, including swimming pool, tennis courts, Returned Services Club, General Store, Post Office, pre-school and public school, railway station and Miss Nellies Café.
If you desire to acquire a magnificent Federation home built to a high standard - not a budget, rich in character and history… this is a unique opportunity not to be missed.
