16 Myrtle Street, Dorrigo, NSW, 2453, Australia

Built by Martha Cork, a pioneer of Dorrigo. Circa 1913*. A period of three main architectural influences. Consequently, the house is a mix of the past Victorian era with its cast iron work, welcomes the arts and crafts period with its expansive woodwork but also has a sense of elegant luxury ushered in with the Edwardian era. The high pressed metal and plaster ceilings were and still are an elegant luxury.

Beautifully proportioned spaces that have not been interrupted. The height of the ceilings, the graceful wide hall, airy rooms, the pretty coloured glass of the windows, the width of the tallowwood floor boards. Our vendor's contribution to this lovely home has been made gently, while bringing facilities into the 21st century.

Three generous bedrooms, all with ensuites and split system air conditioning. Bedrooms 1 & 3 with built in wardrobes and bedroom 3 with its very own fireplace.

A functional, east facing kitchen and dining area receives the gorgeous morning sunlight and looks out to the back yard.
