29 Northumberland St, Maryville NSW 2293

Retreat to the peace and privacy of this beautifully renovated three-bedroom cottage that has a sanctuary like ambience in fashionable Maryville. You'll feel it as soon as you pull up to the kerb. Maybe it's the leafiness that surrounds the home, or the gorgeous, decked verandah that sits behind the timber fence and electric driveway gate. Whatever it is, this is one of those properties that has an immense sense of 'home.'

Inside too, you'll love the features and finishes that invite you to switch off and relax. Three metre ceilings enhance the sense of space, while original timber floors add warmth and texture. Louvre windows and stacker doors merge beautifully with period leadlight windows. An exposed beam and timber post, along with black ceiling fans, a subway tiled splashback and black Belling stove all add a touch of grittiness that references the area's once industrial origins. Functioning as a thoroughly modern home, open plan living connects seamlessly to a covered deck for alfresco entertaining and landscaped gardens where fruit trees, a veggie patch and chicken coop promise the urban gardener a good yield.

Outside everything that is fabulous about the Throsby village lifestyle is practically on the doorstep. Stroll or ride your bike into the harbour and Honeysuckle along the Throsby path that is just 400m from the front door. Grab your morning coffee and freshly baked bread and pastries from Uprising Bakery or take a leisurely 15-minute wander to Beaumont Street where a feast of cafes, bars and shops are yours to enjoy.
