Looking for something a little bit special? Look no further than 15 Stanford Street. Sitting on an enviable corner block on a wide avenue and surrounded by established hedging and trees, this charming and lovingly restored 1920's miner's cottage blends heritage bones with contemporary additions, embracing the best of both worlds.
The bricks that once formed the original chimney create the path you walk on as you approach the traditional bullnose verandah, which welcomes you with a renovated timber deck and original sash windows on each side of the ornate timber front door, offering a glimpse into what awaits inside. Step through the door into Wending House, where the original weatherboard and tin roof add to the character and charm of the home. Soaring 10-foot ceilings and tasteful wainscotting in the hallway lead to beautiful original Blackbutt hardwood floorboards throughout the living and front bedrooms, each with original wall wood panelling and sash windows.
The living room boasts a large sash window which floods this room with light whilst the third bedroom features carpeted floors and large built-in sliding wardrobes. The kitchen has brand new linoleum flooring, shaker style cabinetry and a feature red tile splash back. It also includes a freestanding 900mm Emilia 5-ring gas cooktop with stainless-steel range hood, Bosch dishwasher and a double stainless-steel sink with mixer tap. Double doors lead to an additional living space which features glass sliding doors to the outside deck. A modern and practical fully tiled bathroom offers both a bathtub and a separate shower cubicle.
Step outside onto the sunny timber deck, which overlooks the private backyard. Colorbond fencing provides security, and established trees and hedging create a calm and relaxing environment for you to enjoy. A fourth bedroom or office space is accessed from the deck and boasts newly fitted wood laminate flooring; a pocket door leads to an ensuite which features a shower and toilet and there is a laundry tub and room for a washing machine creating a bathroom and laundry in one. Side gates from the road lead to a 9m x 5m covered carport, alongside an enviable 9m x 6m Colorbond shed with 2.2m height clearance, concrete floor and double motorised roller doors providing you with off road parking for five vehicles, with power to both. Outside in the yard, you'll find a variety of fruit trees including mulberry, apple, peach, lemon and banana, a chicken coop and an original hills hoist.
With a fantastic location in Kurri Kurri, you are a stone's throw away from the Hunter Expressway which will get you to Newcastle in 37-minutes and into Singleton in 31-minutes. Maitland is a 15-minute drive and the centre of Kurri Kurri is walking distance away where you'll find everything you need including Coles, Aldi, numerous eateries including a couple of pubs, post office, the ever popular Kurri Hot Bread Bakery, a bowling club and chemists to name just a few.
