The Home
A pretty cottage frontage, a garden of your own and the freedom to walk into town: 78 Bourke Street brings an inviting rhythm to life in Maitland. Across its 295.5sqm parcel, this freshly updated two-bedroom home pairs enduring character with thoughtful improvements including a new roof within the last 12 months, offering a welcoming place to return to after enjoying the cafés, restaurants and shops close by.

Clipped hedging frames the front gate, with a path leading to the covered verandah. Decorative timber brackets dress the weatherboard façade, while the verandah offers a sheltered spot to pause with a morning cuppa. Established greenery softens the street frontage, giving the entrance a lovely sense of privacy.

Inside, a working fireplace creates a natural gathering point in the living room, framed by a decorative mantel and painted brick chimney breast. Above, a chandelier and ornate ceiling rose add a little occasion to everyday life. New carpet softens the interiors, and timber flooring brings warmth underfoot. The dining space continues the home's gentle palette and decorative touches, creating an inviting setting for meals and conversation.

Cream cabinetry, contrasting benchtops and a tiled splashback give the kitchen a simple, timeless feel, while a new pantry adds useful storage. The window overlooks the covered rear alfresco.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned, with the main featuring timber flooring, built-in storage and a ceiling fan. Plantation shutters are among the home's updates, while the central two-way bathroom incorporates laundry facilities for everyday practicality.

Outdoors, the alfresco's exposed timber beams and privacy screening create an inviting extension of the home. Beyond, lawn, established garden beds and leafy trees bring texture and greenery to the fully fenced backyard.

Rear access from Napoleon Lane leads directly to a single carport with a roller door, making secure off-street parking a welcome part of this central address.

With everyday amenities within walking distance and local schools and transport conveniently accessible, the location makes spontaneous plans simple. 78 Bourke Street has plenty of personality and an appealing sense of ease.
