Offering the ultimate tree-change lifestyle on just under five acres, this stunning Seaham property combines peaceful country living with a house built for entertaining.
Surrounded by tall stands of gum trees and set amongst similarly-sized neighbouring properties, this sprawling four-bedroom home represents rural living at its finest.
Built in 2005 by Allworth with an attractive ranch-style design, the brick veneer and Colorbond roof home offers the traditional country kerb appeal youd expect from this type of location, set back behind a rustic post and rail front fence.
The home is separated into two wings, with the four bedrooms, bathroom and laundry up one end and an abundance of living spaces down the other.
Everything about the home is spacious, from the over-sized main bedroom and generously-sized ensuite, to the cavernous triple garage and vast tiled rumpus room.
The sense of space is exaggerated in key areas by the use of large bay windows, adding traditional-style grandeur to the master suite, combined living and formal dining area at the front of the home and open plan kitchen and family room at the rear of the house.
Large format neutral floor tiles throughout the kitchen, dining and living areas help reflect the natural light and create an impression of bright and airy spaces, while plush chocolate coloured carpet in the bedrooms adds to the coziness of the sleeping quarters.
While the facade may suggest a traditional style of residence, the interior design delivers a comfortable and contemporary finish that fuses country elegance with plenty of modern touches.
LED downlights, brushed aluminium ceiling fans, timber venetians and plantation shutters are a stylish addition to most rooms, while white gloss cabinetry, charcoal laminate benchtops and stainless steel appliances give the kitchen a sleek look.
A zoned Daikin ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning system provides year round comfort, however a country residence wouldnt be complete without a slow combustion wood heater, which adds a traditional homely touch to the large rumpus room.
Outdoor spaces are another important element of country living, encouraging you to spend time in and connect with the natural splendour of the rural setting.
Split faced textured block retaining walls and a built-in barbecue with timber benchtops either side help to define the expansive undercover entertaining area at the rear of the house, which is large enough to host a sizable gathering of family and friends.
A covered verandah running either side of the bay window at the front of the house provides additional areas to relax and enjoy the serenity of the location, while a magnificent 10.5m in-ground saltwater pool is sure to be well utilised in the warmer months.
The level property has been cleared to shade trees, offering plenty of space for children to explore with the security of a fully fenced boundary. A three-bay Colorbond shed, chicken coop and potential for a horse paddock also provide opportunities to make the most of the country lifestyle.
With a 5kw solar system, three rainwater tanks and a bio-septic waste management system with nine sprinklers, the property is environmentally friendly and cost effective to run, while established low maintenance hedges and lawns reduce the time require to keep the 4.86 acre corner block looking its best.
Located only 20 minutes to Maitland and around 15 minutes to Raymond Terrace, the property is within easy reach of all the amenities of large city centres while being far enough from town to provide a quiet, rural setting.
