180 Parish Drive, Thornton NSW 2322

Nested amongst towering eucalypt trees awaits a unique lifestyle opportunity for a family wanting to enjoy tranquil country ambience just moments from the city and within easy reach of some of the country’s best beaches.

Situated in a quiet acreage estate, this quality constructed Allworth home features five large bedrooms and an array of indoor and outdoor living zones to suit every occasion.

If you’re hosting a dinner party there’s a divine formal living and dining room, while the dine-in kitchen is perfect for a casual Sunday roast and the covered outdoor entertaining area is ideal for summer barbecues.

Set beyond open, timber rural fencing and down a long gravel driveway is a striking brick and Colorbond roofed home that melds peacefully into the surrounding landscape and yet makes a statement with its cathedral-style, curved windows and sandstone-topped brick and timber verandah piers.

Inside awaits a smartly designed home with a floorplan that separates the living areas from the bedroom wing for complete peace and quiet.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, meals and solarium-style family room, which boasts a series of large windows overlooking the peaceful, bush vista beyond.

Timber-look laminate lines the floors and together with a neutral colour scheme and timber skirtings and architraves, gives the home a warm, rustic feel without spoiling its sense of style.

The entertainer’s kitchen is spacious and filled with natural light from the large window overlooking the outdoor entertaining area.

There are oodles of timber-look cabinets and long, granite-style laminate benches along with a large walk-in pantry and an eye-catching, diamond tiled feature splashback.

The fussiest buyer will be pleased with the quality appliances on offer, including a Miele, stainless steel dishwasher and a Beko wall oven.

Sliding doors open off the family room to the covered, outdoor entertaining area, which is complete with cement flooring and a lovely view of the nearby stands of gum trees.

What better place to sit and relax at the end of a long week.

The home also boasts a formal living and dining room where high raked ceilings marry perfectly with a slow combustion wood heater and those striking cathedral-style curve windows to create a warm, tranquil space in which to relax with a good book or to entertain guests indoors.

At the other end of the home are the bedrooms, with the spacious master offering a true retreat.

As well as boasting lots of warming natural light, the master features a spacious walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite with a deep corner bath in which to soak away your worries.

It also has his’ and hers’ basins and a large shower.

The four other bedrooms are all generously proportioned and offer built-in robes, while sharing a central three-way bathroom with a separate bath and shower.

Other features of the home include ducted heating and cooling, eight panel 1.5kw solar system, ducted vacuum and an alarm.
