Historic home, Gilchrist House, for sale in Dungog with Elders R&R Property Dungog

A FEDERATION residence, where classic charm meets modern comfort, has been listed in Dungog.

Set amid beautifully established gardens, a sweeping verandah and grand proportions create a sense of space and sophistication rarely found in contemporary homes.

Known as Gilchrist House, this iconic property carries a rich local history, named after a respected doctor who lived and practised here in the early 1900s.

Today, it proudly showcases the finest features of its era – polished timber floorboards, soaring timber ceilings, original light fittings, a graceful central hallway, and striking stone fireplaces.

Thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage cellar, a working well, and abundant storage space, adding yet another layer of character and practicality.

Set on approximately half an acre (approx 2021sqm) of landscaped gardens with heritage roses and mature trees, the property enjoys picturesque views to the Cooreei Hills.

Despite its peaceful setting, it’s just a short stroll to the centre of town.

Dungog continues to grow as a vibrant and welcoming rural community, offering an enviable lifestyle within easy reach of Newcastle and Maitland, and only a scenic drive to Barrington Tops or the stunning Mid North Coast beaches.

A few of its many features include a master suite with dressing room, ensuite and fireplace; formal lounge and dining with combustion fireplace; and an expansive wrap-around verandah.

One of Dungog’s most admired homes, offering exceptional potential as a stunning family residence.
