The Snapshot:
The strongest feature of 26 Carrington Street is the way it pairs heritage-era charm with the ease of a recent renovation. Completely renovated and refurbished in 2023, it retains the character of a classic weatherboard cottage and is sweet, stylish and beautifully manageable. A ready-to-enjoy home with genuine personality.
The Home:
Behind the white picket fence and sunny yellow front door, 26 Carrington Street brings all the charm of a heritage-era weatherboard cottage into a fresh, refurbished package that feels bright, practical and beautifully easy to live with.
Completely renovated and refurbished in 2023, the home holds onto the character of an older property while giving the day-to-day experience a modern finish. Inside, 3m ceilings, custom decorative architraves, frosted glass accents and crisp white interiors create a sense of space well beyond the home's footprint.
The living and dining zone unfolds with a calm, open feel. Natural light moves easily through the room, while the white-painted brick and fresh finishes make the space feel comfortable, stylish, and well-grounded. The kitchen continues the crisp, contemporary feel with ample cabinetry, stone benchtops, and quality appliances. It is compact in the right way, designed for everyday function without clutter, and positioned to connect easily with the dining area and the outdoor deck beyond.
Both bedrooms are simple, serene and well-proportioned, with solid timber doors, plush carpet and high ceilings adding warmth and scale. The bathroom has been brought firmly into the present with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a frameless glass shower screen, a built-in vanity with under-bench storage, and a wall-hung mirrored cabinet; a fresh, functional space that feels considered rather than overdone.
Out the back, the home opens to a covered timber deck with a Colorbond roof and white timber rail panelling, giving you an easy outdoor spot for coffee, conversations or an afternoon glass of something cold. Beyond that, the secure backyard offers a green lawn, Colorbond fencing, an external laundry, and a steel-framed carport with rear-lane access. At approximately 250 sqm, the block is manageable without feeling cramped, giving the home genuine outdoor appeal.
Moments from Maitland Central, Woolworths, local cafés, schools, medical services, and the Maitland CBD, 26 Carrington Street is a charming, refurbished cottage with character, comfort, and convenience all wrapped into one very sweet Horseshoe Bend address.
