26 Bonar Street, Maitland, NSW 2320

Steeped in history, character and timeless charm, "Piation" is a truly special Maitland property, offering the rare opportunity to own a home with a story to tell.

Named after a favourite horse trained by the original owner, Myles John "Jack" Hartigan, the property carries with it a fascinating connection to Maitland's past. Jack enjoyed a successful career training race winners and, remarkably, had paid off the mortgage on the property by 1920 with the winnings from the horse, 'Piation'.

Beautifully renovated "Piation" has been thoughtfully updated while retaining many of its original features and the unmistakable charm of its post-Federation era.

From the moment you step inside, the character is evident. Generously proportioned rooms are complemented by high ornate ceilings, intricate decorative details and beautiful Kauri pine floorboards, polished to a warm honey tone. The main bedroom is particularly striking, featuring an exquisite ornate ceiling with a romantic cherub scene - a wonderful example of the craftsmanship of the era.

The home offers three generous bedrooms with tasteful colour creating a timeless backdrop that allows the original features to take centre stage.

The kitchen and bathroom have both been upgraded to provide the conveniences of modern living without compromising the home's heritage appeal. The kitchen features contemporary appliances including a dishwasher, under-bench electric oven and gas cooktop, while the bathroom embraces a distinctive vintage aesthetic perfectly suited to the character of the home.

Multiple living spaces provide plenty of flexibility for families. While a smaller room towards the rear of the home provides the perfect space for a home office, study or children's playroom.

Positioned on a generous 1,010sqm block, the front yard presents picture perfect with a beautiful cottage façade and well established garden.

While the rear of the property offers an undercover entertaining area providing a wonderful space to relax which connects to a stunning garden sanctuary to fall in love with. A single garage provides additional convenience.

Perfectly positioned in a sought-after part of Maitland, the property is ideally located close to Maitland's CBD, while the surrounding streetscape provides a wonderful sense of heritage and history.

"Piation" is more than just a home - it is a piece of Maitland history.
