42 Roxburgh Street

Lorn NSW 2320

Mature leafy trees enhance the property's obvious street appeal while also concealing the front and side aspects for added privacy, while a traditional picket fence and entry arbour pay homage to the era of the home.

A wide bullnose verandah with delicate fretwork adds to the elegance of the weatherboard and iron roof faade, complemented by a traditional front entry with stained glass inserts and timber panelling surrounding the decorative screen and solid timber doors.

Timber decking running across the front and around one side of the home provides plenty of private spaces for you to sit and enjoy a quiet cup of tea, with double opening doors in the master bedroom and main living area providing direct access to this wraparound verandah.

Step inside the home and you'll discover there's more space than you'd expect to find behind the charming period-style faade, with soaring 12 foot ceilings, four generously proportioned bedrooms, two spacious living areas and a separate multi-use room that could accommodate a formal dining space, home office, fifth bedroom or be converted into an opulent butler's pantry or kitchen extension.

Two of the bedrooms including the master feature ornate cast iron fireplaces with elegant marble mantels and beautiful tiled hearths, with an additional fireplace adding a touch of cosy glamour to the main living area, while ducted air conditioning throughout and an additional split system unit in the rear living space ensure the property enjoys year-round climate control.

The front two bedrooms also feature gorgeous, pressed metal ceilings that add to the genteel opulence of these lovely spaces, while the original wide plank hardwood timber floorboards provide warmth and texture throughout.

Antique-style pendant lights and high skirting boards complement the home's period authenticity, while the traditional country-style kitchen features richly toned timber cabinetry, marble-look laminate benchtops and exposed bricks for a rustic touch.

The 900mm freestanding electric oven and gas stove is both practical and attractive, mounted within the recessed space that would have originally housed the kitchen fireplace, which is surrounded by a lovely turned timber mantel.

Beautifully restored to its former glory, the home has been repainted with a bold colour palette that provides a fresh, new feel throughout, with a dark grey tone on the walls in the rear living area offering the perfect contrast to the striking black and white chequerboard pattern of the hard-wearing vinyl flooring.

The updated laundry also features a monochromatic black and white theme that is sympathetic to the era, while 20mm stone benchtops and an oversized undermount laundry sink provide a touch of class.

A large shower recess and toilet allow this space to double as the home's second bathroom, while the spacious main bathroom seamlessly combines period styling with modern luxury, featuring an eye-catching clawfoot bath, large format floor and wall tiles and traditional timber vanity with twin basins and antique-style tapware.

The home's long list of inclusions continues outside with multiple covered outdoor areas, versatile garden shedding and a double carport, while a stunning 8m inground swimming pool surrounded by beautiful paving and sleek glass fencing adds to the property's opulent lifestyle appeal.

Raised wicking garden beds provide plenty of space for you to grow your own vegetables while an upgraded meter box and 3.64kw solar system with 14 panels add to the home's sustainable credentials.

Ideally located in the picturesque riverside suburb of Lorn, this property is within walking distance of the local primary school, sporting facilities and charming village centre with its cafes, boutiques and everyday essentials.

Across the other side of the Hunter River via the Belmore Bridge sits the revitalised Levee precinct in Maitland's city centre, which is a thriving hub of restaurants, cafes, boutiques and businesses, while a strong retail precinct caters for all your needs, with multiple shopping centres and supermarkets.

The suburb's proximity to the New England Highway provides connectivity to key regional attractions such as the vineyards of Pokolbin and beaches of Newcastle, as well as providing an easy five-minute drive to the regional entertainment and shopping hub of Stockland Green Hills.
