Built by McDonald Jones in 2015, this home has been treated to a host of upgrades that are evident from the moment you open the oversized timber and glass door. Stepping inside you realise this is no standard build, and the entry area sets a high standard which the rest of the home follows. Immediately catching the eye is the feature cornice set in the 2.7m high coffered ceilings. Coffered ceilings continue not only in the master suite but also in the media room creating a sense of luxury and sophistication in this grand residence.
The master suite is a highlight of the home and at 4.5 x 4.8m is larger than most, and the proportions look even larger thanks the 2.7m high coffered ceilings. With plantation shutters, soft grey carpets, LED downlights and a walk-in robe, there were no options left unticked. The ensuite is also high-end and includes tiles to the ceiling and a high gloss polyurethane vanity with twin basins sitting in the 20mm stone top.
The living area is smart and spacious with timber framed glass doors separating the living room from the front section of the home. Hardwearing floor tiles feature throughout and are perfect for those with kids or pets. The heart of the home is always the kitchen and this one is an absolute stunner. 60mm Caesar stone is used on the island, and offsets the darker stone used on the counters and gloss polyurethane doors surrounding the Smeg 900m under bench over and Smeg stainless steel gas hob. Silver door handles on the soft close doors combine beautifully with the stainless steel Smeg dishwasher, integrated microwave oven and the silver tapware. Lin1 doors on the walk-in pantry and pendant lighting providing the icing on the cake for a stunning kitchen.
Just off the main living area is the media room which has integrated stereo speakers in the ceiling, plantation shutters and a recess for a large flat screen TV. An additional living area/rumpus room/study can be found near the bedrooms which all include built in robes, plush carpet, and ceiling fans. Heating and cooling is provided by the ducted air-conditioning and a slow combustion Eureka log burner which is perfect for those chilly Hunter winters.
Joining the indoors with the outdoors are three sets of glass sliding doors which let in plenty of natural light and the gentle afternoon breezes. The alfresco area is large enough for a family sized outdoor table and BBQ area, and newly laid tiles in the alfresco and the front porch make the areas look smart, are non-slip, and are easy to keep clean. A ducted rangehood ensures the alfresco remains smokefree whilst the resident outdoor chef is cooking away.
With a large block size of 2525sqm, the rear yard is a blank canvass to add further upgrades such as a pool if required. A sandstone block retaining wall has been recently added and lined with citrus trees on the south side of the house whilst a hedge of photinias and jasmine are slowly creeping up the screen on the north side. A 20,000 litre rainwater tank will help to keep the gardens green year round and big power bills will be a thing of the past with a 36 panel solar system. At the front of the home, a coloured concrete driveway includes extra parking space for caravans and boats. Also at the front of the home is a spectacular, sweeping view across to the ranges which delivers a sunset that is to behold.
With only a few minutes to the Newcastle expressway this home is ideally located for those wanting a 45-minute car trip to Newcastle beaches or 2 hours in the car and you are in Sydney. With the famous wineries, cafes, and restaurants a short drive away, this home provides a perfect combination of a luxury 4-bedroom residence with plenty of location benefits.
