178 Gipps Street

Held with quiet distinction in one of South Dubbo's most admired tree-lined streets, "Thorverton" is a residence of rare character and presence. Framed by magnificent established gardens and mature trees, the home feels wonderfully secluded despite its central location just moments from the CBD, schools, parks and the Macquarie River walking tracks. With its regal façade, wide timber verandahs and beautifully preserved Federation detailing, this is a property that leaves a lasting impression from the very first glance. The interiors blend heritage elegance with thoughtful modern refinement, honouring the home's 1917 origins while embracing contemporary family living. Gloss polished floorboards, soaring 3.3m ceilings, ornate timberwork and pressed metal ceilings create a sense of warmth and grandeur throughout. Multiple living and dining zones offer flexibility and scale, while the updated kitchen overlooks the landscaped gardens and features quality appliances, soft-close cabinetry and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Large bedrooms, beautifully proportioned living spaces and a tasteful extension completed circa 2015 ensure the home feels both timeless and exceptionally liveable. Designed for both entertaining and quiet retreat, the outdoor spaces are every bit as impressive as the interiors. A saltwater plunge pool, shaded entertaining deck, paved alfresco areas and established hedging create an atmosphere of privacy and calm, while the separate studio incorporates the fifth bedroom plus ensuite offering ideal guest accommodation or a private retreat. Rich in history yet remarkably functional, Thorverton is a home that respects its past while offering an extraordinary lifestyle for generations to come.
