Beyond the row of neatly spaced pear trees, beautifully arranged gardens unfold over this sprawling property. Leafy trees are dotted about thick lawns bordered by a tall screening hedge for privacy.
White roses line the path to the front door, announcing the main point of entry. This postcard perfect first impression sets the bar high.
Completed in 2006, you can be forgiven in thinking this home is brand new. The owners have meticulously maintained the property in addition to using contemporary materials in construction.
Built in a timelessly elegant heritage style, defining features include traditional two toned brick work with Bowral Blue brick sills, custom designed leadlight windows, glazed French doors, steep pitched roof and dormer windows.
Upon entering, the attention to detail is immediately evident. The interior is light filled, expansive and pleasing. The promising facade has more than delivered. Key elements such as polished Brushbox floorboards, a light neutral palette and high ceilings make it easy to style.
In-keeping with a traditional layout, formal entertaining fronts the home where a wide entry hall divides the lounge and dining rooms. To create a cosy and welcoming ambience, the carpeted lounge has a classic fireplace featuring a Jetmaster gas fire and granite hearth.
The adjacent open plan living/kitchen form the huge heart of this residence. Soaring ceilings exaggerate the already massive space complete with multiple French doors connecting to the wide elevated timber deck outside. This is the perfect place to soak up the surrounding scenery while enjoying an evening meal.
Internal French doors open into the tiled casual sitting room. Plantation shutters adjust the amount of light in this bright, relaxed space that has the atmosphere of a classic conservatory.
From the main living area, a set of stairs lead up to the kitchen/meals area. The stylish country kitchen is finished in all whites, the cabinetry, stone benchtops and tiled splashbacks. Stainless steel appliances such as the free standing 900 gas cooktop maintain the modern presentation. There is a huge walk-in pantry fitted out with solid shelving for plenty storage. An island bench subtly divides the kitchen from the meals area, where the double garage conveniently accesses the home.
A staircase to the upper level is brightly lit by a large skylight similar to that in the main bathroom upstairs where a traditional freestanding claw foot bath is the centrepiece.
There is an abundance of storage, built-in cupboards line the central hall plus there are built-ins in both north east bedrooms.
At the opposite end, the master and guest bedrooms both have modern ensuites and the master features a large walk-in robe plus additional built-in storage cupboards.
There are dormer windows in all bedrooms, extending the floor space and offering leafy views. A versatile activities room also neatly fits into one of the double window spaces providing a secluded place to unwind.
The home is serviced by zoned, ducted air conditioning plus has gas heating to the main living area. Hard wired surround sound, a huge, practical laundry, an additional separate double garage with side parking for a boat or caravan are just a few of the many thoughtful features included making this home a delight to inhabit.
Furthermore, the excellent location offers two main benefits, firstly it is only minutes away from some of the Hunters best wineries, restaurants and cafes. Impress visitors with a tour of your local world renowned neighbourhood. Also, easy access to the Hunter Expressway provides great regional connectivity. Newcastle is only 45 minutes away or join the M1 to Sydney in 2 hours.
Comfort, elegance and quality underpin this beautiful residence surrounded by equally beautiful grounds, located next to one of Australias most celebrated wine regions.
