Tucked away behind some established greenery on a quiet street, 34 Reilly Street boasts recent internal updates, modern finishings, and an excellent location that will appeal to a whole range of first home buyers looking to enter the highly sought-after suburb of Thornton.
Allotted 664sqm of lush and level land, this family home includes three well-appointed bedrooms, a lockup single-car garage that is currently utilised as a studio, and a stunning rear alfresco area that overlooks a large rear yard.
The front door is sheltered by the undercover front porch, opening up to reveal the home’s welcoming aesthetic. Timber-look flooring extends throughout the home, blending seamlessly with the neutral palette of the walls and ceiling, while an abundance of natural light keeps each space feeling bright and open.
A consistent design across the open plan living and dining area creates a space that feels connected, while still providing ample room for each area to stand independently. A set of glass sliding doors to the east permits the ambient morning light to fill the space, while a large window to the west takes the reigns in the afternoon to deliver warmth before nightfall.
Updates carried out in 2015 provide a modern look to the kitchen, which echoes the palette of the living and dining area with its easy-clean timber-look flooring and minimal colour scheme. Stainless steel appliances, a recessed fridge space, and ample cabinetry all keep the space functional, while the feature block to the splashbacks adds a touch of vibrancy.
The three bedrooms sit down a separate hall, each of which providing carpets underfoot, ceiling fans, and blinds to the windows, with both the master and bedroom two also including built-in wardrobes.
The main bathroom provides a dedicated bathtub and standing shower with a glass divider, a single-basin vanity with plenty of storage, and a separate toilet makes life easier on busy mornings. An adjacent laundry provides ample room for appliances, convenient rear access, as well as overhead shelving for extra storage.
The undercover rear alfresco will prove to be a popular place all year round with its pitched ceiling and skylight, where afternoon drinks and evening meals can be spent while watching the kids (or pets) wear themselves out in the lush rear yard.
A small garden shed sits at the alfresco’s perimeter, surrounded by a scattering of raised garden beds, and some thoughtful pavers lead the way to the rotary clothesline to keep your feet dry on those damp mornings.
Thornton is renowned for its family-friendly community, quiet streets, and central location between the Hunter’s best offerings. A trip to Maitland CBD will take just 11 minutes, Newcastle’s beautiful coastline and bustling CBD are only 33 minutes from home along the A43, and a trip to Sydney will take just 2 hours.
With its well-maintained home, updated internals and excellent location, 34 Reilly Street will provide one lucky buyer with a home to adore in a suburb to be proud of for years to come.
