Get off to the right start in the property market with this perfectly maintained family home in convenient Thornton, which has great access to the M1 Motorway, Hunter Expressway and is just 30 minutes from Newcastle.

Whether youre a first home buyer, new investor or a downsizer this property has plenty that will appeal, not least of which is the focus on open-plan, light-filled living.

When this home was designed the emphasis was clearly on creating a house that would stand the test of time and one that was sure to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere in every room.

Perfectly presented, the property begins with a landscaped front garden with retained timber garden beds with established plants, which frames the light toned bricks, which are offset with timber-look garage doors.

Inside awaits a formal living and dining room configured in almost an L-shape to give each a designated section without closing off the rooms.

Plush carpet lines the floors while other features include a light and ceiling fan combination plus vertical drapes.

Two large windows fill the room with light, with the second looking out to the covered entertaining area.

The kitchen and family room form the second living area and this space flows out through sliding doors to a fully enclosed paradise room, which is encased with plantation shutters.

This space is ideal for opening up and entertaining, creating the perfect spot all year around for barbecues, birthday parties and other functions large or small.

The kitchen is another key feature of the home with a traditional U-shape layout with lots of cupboards, long laminate benchtops, a breakfast bar and a dishwasher.

It overlooks the family room with its reverse cycle, split system air conditioner and ample space for a more casual meals area when compared with the formal dining space.

In addition to the paradise room there is a concreted entertaining area that is covered with shade sail that runs along the side of the house.

With timber retained garden beds filled with hardy grasses and succulents lining the space, it is peaceful and cool - the perfect spot to enjoy a wine in summer time and a relaxed morning reading the weekend paper.

The home also offers three generous bedrooms including the master bedroom with an ensuite and a built-in robe as well as a walk-in robe.

One of the remaining two bedrooms also has a built-in robe and the main bathroom is spacious and features a separate bath and shower, floor mounted vanity with good storage and toilet.

The home has a 3kw solar panel system as well as a garden shed, double garage with internal access and a fully secure yard ideal for children and pets.
