The Agent Loves: "What makes this home so special is how easy it feels to live in. The rear lane access, secure yard and carport add real practicality, while the location keeps you close to the Maitland CBD and everyday essentials."
The Location: Horseshoe Bend brings an easy, old-school charm to riverside living, with leafy streets and a calm, unhurried pace. Set right alongside the Hunter River, it is just moments from Maitland's buzzing cafés, parks, and daily conveniences. With its blend of natural beauty, character-filled homes, and close-knit community feel, Horseshoe Bend is a little peaceful, a little nostalgic - and completely delightful to come home to.

The Snapshot: The strongest feature of 26 Carrington Street is the way it pairs heritage-era charm with the ease of a recent renovation. Completely renovated and refurbished in 2023, it retains the character of a classic weatherboard cottage and is sweet, stylish and beautifully manageable. A ready to enjoy home with genuine personality, it is perfectly positioned just moments from Maitland's vibrant CBD, popular cafés, restaurants and bars, while the recently upgraded levee walkway is only a short stroll away, adding an exceptional lifestyle element to an already charming home.
The Home: Behind the white picket fence and sunny yellow front door, 26 Carrington Street brings all the charm of a heritage-era weatherboard cottage into a fresh, refurbished package that feels bright, practical and beautifully easy to live with.
Positioned in one of Maitland's most walkable and sought-after pockets, the lifestyle on offer here is just as impressive as the home itself. Leave the car at home and enjoy being only moments from Maitland's vibrant CBD, with some of the region's most loved cafés, restaurants, and bars at your fingertips, including The Rigby, Fratelli Roma, The Whistler, and Orange Tree Café. The recently upgraded levee walkway is just metres away, providing the perfect setting for a morning stroll, afternoon run, or leisurely weekend walk along the river. Combining heritage charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable lifestyle location, 26 Carrington Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully finished home in the heart of Maitland.
Completely renovated and refurbished in 2023, the home holds onto the character of an older property while giving the day-to-day experience a modern finish. Inside, 3m ceilings, custom decorative architraves, frosted glass accents and crisp white interiors create a sense of space well beyond the home's footprint.
The living and dining zone unfolds with a calm, open feel. Natural light moves easily through the room, while the white-painted brick and fresh finishes make the space feel comfortable, stylish, and well-grounded. The kitchen continues the crisp, contemporary feel with ample cabinetry, stone benchtops, and quality appliances. It is compact in the right way, designed for everyday function without clutter, and positioned to connect easily with the dining area and the outdoor deck beyond.
Both bedrooms are simple, serene and well-proportioned, with solid timber doors, plush carpet and high ceilings adding warmth and scale. The bathroom has been brought firmly into the present with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a frameless glass shower screen, a built-in vanity with under-bench storage, and a wall-hung mirrored cabinet; a fresh, functional space that feels considered rather than overdone.
Out the back, the home opens to a covered timber deck with a Colorbond roof and white timber rail panelling, giving you an easy outdoor spot for coffee, conversations or an afternoon glass of something cold. Beyond that, the secure backyard offers a green lawn, Colorbond fencing, an external laundry, and a steel-framed carport with rear-lane access. At approximately 250 sqm, the block is manageable without feeling cramped, giving the home genuine outdoor appeal.
Moments from Maitland Central, Woolworths, local cafés, schools, medical services, and the Maitland CBD, 26 Carrington Street is a charming, refurbished cottage with character, comfort, and convenience all wrapped into one very sweet Horseshoe Bend address.
