Rich in history, character and craftsmanship, this exceptional circa 1921 Federation residence presents a rare opportunity to secure one of Kendall's most distinctive homes, positioned across a substantial 2,023m² * double block in the heart of this picturesque Camden Haven village. Originally built by the Longworth family, operators of a major sawmill within Kendall, the residence is a magnificent example of Federation architecture. Over the years, the home has thoughtfully updated and renovated the property while carefully preserving the character, proportions and period features that make the home so special. Today, the property offers an impressive combination of historic charm and modern comfort, with a substantial four bedroom, four bathroom main residence, together with a separate two bedroom studio incorporating its own kitchen and bathroom. The main residence immediately makes an impression with its wide covered verandahs, high ceilings, beautiful stained glass windows, grand entry, central hallway and polished hardwood floors. Generous living spaces include a large central lounge and separate dining area, while the superb kitchen offers stone benchtops, quality appliances and excellent storage. ( Internal areas estimated at 274 sqm / underroof 400+ sqm ) Each of the four bedrooms within the main residence enjoys convenient access to its own ensuite or bathroom, providing a level of accommodation rarely found in a home of this era. Adding considerably to the versatility of the property is a substantial building connected to the main residence via a walkway, originally approved as a garage, workshop, hobby room and bathroom, and constructed to a standard sympathetic with the main residence, including hardwood flooring. The current owners have further adapted the space to provide a two-bedroom studio-style configuration with kitchen and the existing bathroom facilities, creating excellent flexibility for extended family, guests, teenagers, a home office or additional recreational space. The current studio configuration is undergoing the Council compliance and approval process. There are two storage bays with roller door access and additional covered off street undercover parking, which further enhances the practicality of the property. The home has also been upgraded with a solar power system incorporating battery storage, providing the benefit of modern energy efficiency alongside its traditional Federation character. Outside, the property is equally impressive. Set across two separate titles totaling approximately 2,023m², the level grounds feature expansive lawns, established landscaping and mature gardens, creating a private and attractive setting around the home. Kendall itself is one of the Camden Haven's most charming riverside villages. Originally known as Camden Heads, the village was renamed in 1891 in honour of the Australian poet Henry Kendall, who lived in the district from 1875 to 1881 while serving as the first Forest Inspector for New South Wales. From Orara Street, residents enjoy convenient access to Kendall's local facilities including the swimming pool, tennis courts, club, general store, post office, preschool, public school, railway station and the popular Miss Nellie's Cafe.
