Exciting news for you, the owner is willing to listen to any reasonable offer, the owner wishes to move on and has other things in mind. If you like such a home with character and the great advantages of this type of property in a prime location, then this could be your opportunity. Let’s ‘Talk Turkey’ and see if we can do a deal for you.
This property (an Art Deco Bungalow built in 1938 on 2 acres) is situated in the notable heritage village of Lorn, in the historic city of Maitland. Lorn village has coffee shops, newsagency, liquor store, general store, local doctor and infants’ school, and is 5 minutes walk from Maitland CBD. Maitland has the main rail station as well as a hospital with great facilities; conveniently located just 15 minutes from the end of the F3 freeway and 30 minutes to Newcastle, it is the hub of the Hunter Valley.
Where would you find a property of 8,572m2 (approximately 2 acres) on the edge of a city, with a rural atmosphere amongst larger farms on very fertile land? The possibilities are endless – maybe planted with lucerne, but would be ideal for berry fruits, orchard, vegetable garden, a few cattle, horses, goats or a very large landscaped garden and pool.
The Art Deco home ‘Glendonvale’ was built for a prominent local family in 1938 and has been so carefully maintained that its original features and all the charm and character of that time have been retained. The house is built of double brick walls, terracotta tile roof, hardwood timber floors, with Art Deco ceilings, and quality period fittings and finishes throughout. There are three double size bedrooms, the main bedroom and formal lounge have bay set windows with original glass; there are 2 bathrooms, a traditional kitchen, a separate formal dining room with open fireplace and the front verandah has a northerly aspect to enjoy the winter sun with a glass of wine overlooking the rural scene.
Adjacent to the main home is a large 12 x 9 m double brick and tile building with a raised floor which could be used as an extension to the home, rumpus/games room, granny flat, studio or home business. Some of these uses would be subject to the usual council approval. It’s a great facility. As well, there are two garages with extra space for workshops and storage.
The whole package offers a great all-round city/rural lifestyle in a prime location.
