Morpeth NSW 2321

Perfect for downsizers and retirees, or young families looking for a character-filled property they can put their own stamp on, this 581.7sqm property offers plenty of potential.

Established gardens edged by bush rocks and filled with flourishing shrubs frame the front of the home and provide points of interest in the backyard, with stepping stones leading from the rear of the home down to the detached garage at the back of the block.

A large tiled front porch offers a shady spot to sit and enjoy the garden outlook, while also adding to the weatherboard home's cute cottage ambience.

Large sliding glass doors offer direct access into the light-filled front lounge room while a solid timber door with decorative screen provides the traditional entry into the central hallway.

The lounge room is a warm and inviting space with cosy comforts including plush carpet on the floor and a vintage fireplace with a stone-look mantel and surround, making it the perfect place to curl up with a good book or sit and enjoy the company of friends and family.

The master bedroom is located at the front of the home and offers a large expanse of storage, with the original built-in wardrobe running with width of one wall with a lovely, mirrored dresser section in the middle.

An antique-style ceiling fan with decorative light fixtures complements the period elements that are sprinkled throughout this home, while plush carpet offers added comfort underfoot.

A second bedroom located further down the hall also has ample storage with another large built-in timber wardrobe, and a wall-mounted heater to keep things warm in winter, while picture rails provide added character.

Timber-look cabinetry also adds texture to the kitchen, which has plenty of charm with its retro-style tiled splashback and mustard-coloured laminated benchtops finished with a rounded end on the breakfast bar return.

Overhead and underbench cupboards offer ample storage, while the kitchen also caters for all the essentials with an electric stove and four-burner cooktop.

A modern extension completed at the rear of the home adds valuable living space, with an intimate dining room that flows through an open-plan style layout to the beautifully styled spacious second lounge room.

Featuring a raked ceiling, cosy wood-burning fireplace and split system air conditioner, this room offers climate-controlled comfort all year round, with plenty of space to relax with family or friends.

Large windows ensure this area is filled with natural light, while a screen door connects it to a large, enclosed verandah at the rear, providing even more options for entertaining with a great outlook over the backyard.

The fully fenced yard is perfect for pets and provides a secure space for children to play, while the large garage at the rear of the property makes the most of this block's dual street frontages and includes drive through access to the yard.

A separate garden shed extends your outdoor storage space for garden tools and equipment, while double gates provide an additional access point to the street that runs along the rear of the property.

Ideally located within easy walking distance of the village centre, the property is perfect for those who enjoy spending their leisure time wandering Morpeth's cobblestone laneways, browsing through the eclectic boutiques, art galleries and specialty stores and enjoying a cold drink or a bite to eat at one of the gourmet cafes or historic pubs that line the main street.

Ideal for families or those looking for a quiet village life, Morpeth offers all the essential services including a small supermarket, medical centre and primary school, with a range of playgrounds and sporting facilities scattered throughout the suburb, while the boutique shopping precincts of Melbourne and Lawes streets in East Maitland and the major retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills are around 10 minutes away.
