22 Kite Street, Orange.

Directly opposite Cook Park in one of Orange's most distinguished residential streets, 22 Kite Street is a statement Federation residence that combines the craftsmanship and character of circa-1910 architecture with a substantial contemporary extension designed for modern living. Immaculately presented inside and out, the original home retains beautiful period details including timber floors, intricate glazing, leadlight, decorative cornices and ceiling features, original fireplaces and even the working combustion oven, while the rear extension introduces generous proportions, natural light and a warm contemporary aesthetic. At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where double-glazed windows and underfloor heating create a comfortable everyday living environment. The timeless kitchen is finished with stone benchtops, a 900mm cooker, generous pantry and preparation space, breakfast bar and built-in study area, flowing directly to the deck and established outdoor spaces beyond. The accommodation is equally generous. The main bedroom features a custom-fitted walk-in robe and ensuite, both complemented by underfloor heating, while two further well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned within the original part of the home. A cosy formal lounge with wood-burning fireplace provides a more intimate second living space, adding another layer of comfort and separation to the ground-floor layout. Upstairs is where the home offers something quite unexpected. North-facing and filled with sunlight, the expansive retreat features a vaulted ceiling, highlight windows and a leafy treetop outlook before opening directly onto a large private rooftop terrace. It is a space that can evolve with its owners - a guest retreat when family comes to stay, a teenage escape, art studio, additional living room or an impressive work-from-home environment. For those who simply want everything on one level, it remains a completely optional luxury; for others, it could become one of the most-used and memorable spaces in the home. Outside, the focus is on quality rather than sheer size. Established gardens, mature trees, private courtyards and a generous entertaining deck create a series of intimate and beautifully considered outdoor areas without the upkeep of a large turfed backyard. And with Cook Park literally across the road, families and grandparents have one of Orange's finest green spaces at their doorstep - room to walk, play and spend time with children or grandchildren, then return home without a large lawn or garden to maintain. Completing the property is an oversized double garage with excellent access, all within easy reach of Orange's CBD, schools, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. For downsizers, professionals, families or tree changers wanting character, space and one of Orange's most recognisable residential positions, 22 Kite Street offers a combination that is difficult to replicate. **Key Features** • Statement Federation residence built circa 1910 • Premium Kite Street position directly opposite Cook Park • Immaculately maintained and recently painted inside and out • Original Federation architecture complemented by a substantial contemporary extension • Original timber floors, intricate glazing, leadlight, decorative cornices, ceiling detailing and fireplaces • Working original combustion oven retained as a connection to the home's history • 7kw rooftop solar array • Formal lounge with slow combustion fireplace • Expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area • Timeless kitchen with stone benchtops, 900mm cooker, breakfast bar and generous pantry and preparation space • Generous main bedroom with custom-fitted walk-in robe and ensuite • Underfloor heating to the ensuite, walk-in robe, main bathroom and living/dining area • Double-glazed windows throughout the extension • Excellent indoor-outdoor connection to the entertaining deck • Established gardens, mature trees and thoughtfully designed courtyard spaces • Expansive north-facing upstairs retreat with vaulted ceiling and highlight windows • Large private rooftop terrace with leafy outlook and seasonal shade sail • Upstairs perfectly suited to guest accommodation, teenage retreat, studio, home office or additional living • Oversized double garage with excellent vehicle access *** Disclaimer *** • All boundaries, measurements and point of interest markers are approximate and provided as a guide only • Photography may include virtual styling for presentation purposes • The virtual styling process may unintentionally soften, remove or alter minor blemishes or visual details • All information contained herein has been obtained from sources we consider reliable; however, we do not guarantee its accuracy • Interested parties should make and rely on their own independent enquiries
