13 Duke Street, Paterson

It's safe to say this grand 1906-built Edwardian residence is not your average home – it's a gorgeous piece of history.

The former St Pauls Anglican Rectory on 2,015sqm is still as beautiful and well-maintained as it was when it was first built.

There are six original fireplaces across its two storeys plus 11-foot high ceilings and cedar joinery while a gourmet kitchen has Spanish tiled splashback, and there is a Carrara marble bathroom.

Verandas on both levels offer views of the nearby Paterson River and the landscaped gardens include a vintage three-car shed with a loft.

Plus, all of this historic beauty is just 20 minutes from Maitland.
