The Snapshot
Set on a rare double block, 18 Rose Street is your inner-city garden escape with room to grow. Behind the picket fence, this 1910 cottage opens to a fully fenced backyard framed by established trees, veggie beds and pockets of lawn. This is lifestyle, land and flexibility, all just minutes to Maitland's riverwalks and cafés.
The Home
Tucked on a quiet one-way street just moments from Maitland's riverside levee and café scene, 18 Rose Street is the kind of classic that never goes out of style. A circa 1910 weatherboard construction, updated where it counts, and wrapped in a garden that feels like a little green exhale in the middle of town. Set on a flat double block of 737sqm across two titles, it offers character, comfort, and future flexibility without asking you to sacrifice charm to get it.
Behind the white timber picket fence and gated entry, a bullnose front verandah sets the tone: timeless, welcoming, and perfect for a morning coffee. Inside, you're met with original timber floorboards, high ceilings, decorative cornices, and beautiful period details that instantly make it feel special. The main living room pairs warm timber tones with a brick feature wall and wrought iron open fireplace - equal parts cosy and statement-making - while zoned ducted Daikin air-conditioning keeps the whole house comfortable through every season.
The kitchen is refreshingly practical with loads of personality: timber cabinetry, a timber island bench topped with a four-burner gas cooktop, pantry storage, and a window outlook to the yard. From the dining space, timber French doors swing open to an alfresco deck - an easy extension of the home for brunches, lunches or a Sunday afternoon cheese board.
All three bedrooms enjoy timber floors and ceiling fans, with custom built-in wardrobes in bedrooms one and two. The renovated bathroom brings a crisp, contemporary finish with a large subway-tiled shower and a floating stone-top vanity, while the laundry/storage room adds extra bench space, a built-in washtub, and more storage than you'd expect from a classic cottage.
Outside, established gardens, privacy trees, raised veggie beds, watering outlets front and rear, a garden shed, clothesline, and a fully fenced, secure yard create a setting that's both productive and peaceful.
With solar, gas hot water, NBN connection, and upgraded power and plumbing already in place - plus parks and sporting facilities nearby - this is classic Maitland living, beautifully refreshed and ready to enjoy.
