22 KITE STREET, Orange NSW 2800

There's something instantly inviting about this home. The kind of place where original leadlight windows, ornamental fireplaces, and rich timber floors don't just decorate the rooms, they give them soul. Beautifully preserved period features set the tone through the original part of the home, while a thoughtfully designed modern extension steps in quietly, adding space, light, and everyday comfort without stealing the spotlight. The floorplan is generous and flexible, unfolding across three separate living zones. The formal lounge with leadlight windows and a wood heater invites slower evenings. The heart of the home sits within the light-filled extension, where a large family room flows seamlessly to a private sundeck, perfect for long lunches, late afternoons, and easy entertaining. The kitchen connects effortlessly here, complete with a butler's pantry and the original Canberra wood slow-combustion oven, a nod to the home's heritage that's still ready to be used. Tucked behind the family room is a substantial study or fourth bedroom, while a third modern bathroom across the hall keeps daily life practical. Upstairs feels like a retreat of its own. A generous games room or living space opens onto a wide, sun-drenched alfresco area that's bathed in light and made for morning coffee, evening drinks, or quiet time with a book. It's elevated, private, and wonderfully versatile. Comfort is further enhanced with solar hot water, and 18 solar panels keeping running costs in check. A generous sized double garage with a workbench rounds things out. The location is just as compelling. Cook Park sits directly across the road, the Byng Street Local Store is an easy 10-minute stroll for coffee or brunch, Orange High School is close by, and the city centre's shops, cafés, and dining scene are all within easy walking distance. It's a home that balances history and modern living with convenience.  591.39sqm north facing block on corner of Sampson Street  Formal lounge with wood fire  Contemporary kitchen with 900mm gas stove, dishwasher, study nook  Main bedroom with ensuite and WIR, fireplace, leadlight window, northern aspect  Walking distance to schools, Orange Aquatic Centre, Cook and Moulder Park, plus a selection of vibrant shops, cafes and restaurants Disclaimer: We have obtained this property information from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
