Brimming with history this 135-year-old farm style cottage is one of Port Macquarie's original residences known as number 82 William Street. Built by local Surveyor (the late John Flynn) back in the late 1800's, the federation architecture and use of exquisite hardwood timbers such as Australian Mahogany, Red Cedar, and Flooded Gum are comparable to that of historic Roto House, also a signature masterpiece that John created around the same period.
Lovingly restored by the current owners the cottage strikes the perfect balance of old and new designed to accommodate 21st living whilst respectfully retaining the original features to maintain the homes unique character and old-world charm.
Head indoors and take a step back in time with 10.5 ft high decorative rose ceilings, timber panel walls and ceilings, Red Cedar French doors, old school brass door handles, Maple framed oversized windows, antique pendant and wall lighting, original Flooded Gum timber flooring, and a unique hand-crafted hallway arch.
At the front of the home sits the master bedroom with a walk-in robe opening onto the front verandah. Two guest bedrooms are generous in size with one opening outdoors. A cosy lounge room with a stack stone feature wall and wood fire is privately tucked away. At the heart of the home sits a modern country style kitchen servicing an open plan living and dining area flowing onto the back verandah. A large office/multi-purpose room enjoys a harmonising view across the landscape via huge wraparound glass windows. In addition, is a laundry with plentiful storage and sunroom/mudroom porch at the rear accessible from the timber deck. As you would expect of this era the main bathroom includes a gorgeous claw foot bathtub and gooseneck tape ware.
Outdoors includes a 10m x 5m roller door shed, massive high-ceilinged carport, water tanks with capacity to hold 45,000 litres, fenced paddock, dog proof fencing around the home, chicken coop, raised vegetable garden beds, lush level lawn with a children's playground, and Fig, Macadamia, and Mango trees, just to name a few. The eco-friendly environment provides an array of colourful birdlife and resident wildlife.
Set back from the road on a sustainable 5-acre parcel, this semi-rural setting provides access to an adjoining dam and creek and is located just minutes to the M1 Pacific Highway, only 5-minutes to the airport, and 10 minutes into the CBD and beachfront.
