A BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED CLASSIC WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL

OPEN HOME CANCELLED – UNDER OFFER

Positioned just a leisurely stroll from the heart of Dungog, 126 Abelard Street captures the charm, warmth and timeless appeal that makes country town living so special. Dating back to the early 1900s, this classic federation-style weatherboard cottage has been lovingly restored and beautifully maintained, offering an inviting blend of character and modern comfort.

Set behind a picturesque front garden and verandah, the home welcomes you with an immediate sense of warmth and style. With two bedrooms and one bathroom, it is the perfect choice for downsizers, first home buyers or young families wanting a quality entry into the market. It also presents an exceptional investment opportunity, with strong potential as either a long-term rental or a high-performing Airbnb. Adding even more versatility, the expansive 2,023 sqm parcel includes a stand-alone Yurt – ideal as a creative retreat, guest accommodation or home office space.

Step inside and you’ll instantly appreciate the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Hardwood timber floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings and original detailing, including the combustion fireplace and mantle, create a sense of timeless character throughout. The layout is both functional and inviting, with generous living and bedroom proportions, plus a separate dining area offering flexibility for family life or entertaining.

Both bedrooms are well-sized and include generous built-in wardrobes, while the master also features additional overhead storage and a built-in bench space. A bright, north-facing sunroom provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, enhanced by two convenient linen cupboards for added storage. At the rear, a spacious undercover entertaining area offers the ideal place to unwind or host family and friends in comfort.

The country-style kitchen is a true highlight, offering a gorgeous mix of rustic charm and modern practicality. The original exposed brick chimney has been tastefully paired with a pressed tin splashback, while crisp white cabinetry and stone bench top complete the space. A quality Smeg electric oven and four burner gas cooktop, and stainless-steel dishwasher deliver an elevated cooking experience, and thoughtful features including generous pantry storage and a powered breakfast bar make everyday living effortless.

Outdoors, the property truly shines. A wide open backyard, established gardens and mature trees create a peaceful, private sanctuary with endless potential. A charming stone-retained creek runs through the grounds, complete with a solid timber bridge – adding a magical touch to the landscape. There is plenty of room for vegetable gardens, fruit trees, play spaces or simply enjoying the serenity. The fully lined and air-conditioned Yurt adds even more appeal, ready to be enjoyed in whatever way suits your lifestyle.

Comfort is assured year-round with a slow combustion wood fire, reverse-cycle air conditioning, natural ventilation and gas bayonets for heating. A new 24-panel 10.56kW solar system offers excellent energy efficiency and long-term savings, while an electric hot water system ensures modern convenience.

Located less than one kilometre from Dungog’s main street, the home is within easy walking distance to everything this thriving township offers – boutique shops and cafes, local schools, sporting fields, swimming pool, hospital and medical centre, and the recently upgraded library. Outdoor lovers will also appreciate the nearby Dungog Common and its popular mountain bike trails. With Maitland and Newcastle within an hour, and Sydney just over 2 hours away, the location is as practical as it is picturesque.

While the home is rich in character, it also delivers on everyday functionality with a fully fenced boundary, garage and carport parking, garden sheds, and a well-appointed bathroom and laundry. With gas and electric connections, NBN Wi-Fi, and the convenience of mains water, power and sewer, you can enjoy the best of country town living without compromising on modern comforts.
