Known as 'St Elmo', this landmark 4 bedroom period splendour unfolds across four expansive levels, offering a gracious lifestyle with both residential comfort and real potential commercial or boutique enterprise appeal. From its hand-cut sandstone walls to soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, and intricate period detailing, every corner of this property whispers of a time when craftsmanship reigned supreme.

A casual walk from the CBD of Maitland lands you at the front doorstep of this bespoke spectacle called St Elmo, a period of delight conceived in the early 1800's before the final touches were added by our own renowned William Pender, just before the turn of the 19th Century. St Elmo is a statement of success from this era that translates easily to todays living of absolute master craftmanship, in a never to be repeated envelope.

The current custodian of St Elmo has added her personal approach to the property, somewhat moody, somewhat eclectic, yet stopped short of taking away too much from the original fabric of the home. What is being presented to you, is more than enough though to ensure a purchase is in easy reach while still enabling you to explore other elements of the homes future, while residing in this beautiful aesthetic.

Cavernous ceilings and oversized rooms come straight to mind, while an extensive use of cedar line the trims, doors and staircase before your eyes. With multiple levels to choose your own living style, one could accept alternate bedroom or lounge room configurations to please ones own palette. Separate dining rooms, lounge rooms and bedrooms could be swapped annually, to discover each season of the year, adding further delight to your experience of living in St Elmo. The full bathroom is of period design with clawfoot tub and a delightful pedestal wash basin that is just lovely and there is an attic style games room where children could lose themselves in its Harry Potter wonderland.

For the lovers of ultimate privacy, decadence or simply to experience time on their own, lock yourself away in your very own "Speak Easy", located in the basement level, which has been reintroduced for hours of pleasure and entitlement. Lose yourself within conversation, love or silence as you sit, relax and enjoy your favourite tipple in this sensational space. Relish in the idea of what was said and done within these walls and discover your own inner self away from the rest of the world.

The stunning kitchen is new however teeters on "how it should have been done" from day 1 with its pink marble benches and splashback definitely worthy of your admiration. Leaving the rear of the home straight onto the hardwood deck which bends around the northern side of the residence, affords you the opportunity to take in the sunny grounds and peaceful charm of the back yard. Almost forgetting you are in the inner city of Maitland, its quiet, private and spacious and has room for you to breathe. An elevated studio or perhaps teenagers retreat or work from home space sits proudly in view and could easily be anything you wanted it to be with little thought.

This may be the last opportunity to acquire a never to be repeated generational home in a Blue Chip locale that has everything at your doorstep. St Elmo is your destiny and ready to be handed over to someone who would be lucky enough to call her home.
