1 Belmore Road, Lorn
Modern masterpiece with period charm
Gundagai Villa has undergone an extraordinary transformation from a 1900s period home into a modern masterpiece.
Yet the sympathetic and wise rebuild has ensured the four-bedroom charmer, set on a 781sqm corner block, still offers a wealth of historical elegance.
The original red brick façade, sunny front porch, gorgeous open archways and high ceilings remain.
However, an open wood fireplace in the main living area has been beautifully updated while the kitchen and two bathrooms are now beautifully chic and deluxe.
To the rear of the home, find a timber deck and a new spa. Plus, Maitland's amenities are just a short stroll away, across the Hunter River.
