AUCTION GUIDE $1,000,000

Several years after serving in World War 1 and returning home to Maitland, George Fry acquired a beautiful, level block of land in Lorn in 1924 and built a classic Californian Bungalow on this very site. George named this, Lornhome.
The residence served to be the family home for many, many years with George ultimately remaining in the residence until his passing in 1982. His daughter Patricia cared for & shared the last part of that period with her father and resided in Lornhome herself until her passing in 2021. Pat was well known in the local area and her loss has been felt throughout the extended Maitland community. One journey sadly ends, however another is about to start!

For the first time in almost 100 years, you too can create memories that last a lifetime, where you not only purchase a piece of history, you invest your time into restoring this beauty to its former glory & relive the days of yesteryear.
From the very start Lornhome catches your eye with her beautiful blue brick faade and deep gabled veranda, providing the perfect frame for what can be expected throughout the home. The formal lounge and dining areas reflect as they probably were decades ago, with original furniture, lighting & coffered ceiling & leadlight windows & doors taking you back to this wonderful era.

Hardwood floorboards are in excellent condition & ready to be buffed & the original fireplace again, wanting nothing more than to be taken back to its beginnings. Beds 1 & 2 are located off the formal entry & hallway & showcase extensively patterned plaster ceilings & leadlight windows all breathtaking to behold. Each bedroom has access to the side veranda by private opening doors.

The bathroom has had some minor modifications over the years however the original tiling & pointing shows the trades used throughout the build were of excellent standard. The original kitchen & dining nook would have been a lovely spot for the family to be in and tell their stories.

The yard is a generous 920sqm in size & has wide access for any vehicle & future garage development or extensions to the residence possible.

Lornhome is a beautiful property & with its prized location in King Street, becomes an enviable abode for those who want what you just can’t buy.
