Conveniently accessed from Sydney and Newcastle, this home in North Rothbury is just 5 minutes' drive to the on-ramp of the Hunter Expressway. Living close to Huntlee means further conveniences are just a few minutes in the car, and include the Tavern, Coles, Liquorland, and several service providers including a medical centre, dentist, pharmacy, vet, gymnasium, an early learning centre, and fast-food outlets. Families will also appreciate the short walk to the bus stop, 2 doors down for primary pickup and approx. 200 m for high school pickup.
Built in brick and tile, this home is substantial, offering 3 car garaging with internal access, 4 large bedrooms and two separate living areas. The 3 x bedrooms are 3m x 3.7m each with built in robes and ceiling fans, whilst the master bed is more substantial again at 4.6m x 5m and includes an ensuite, walk in robe and ceiling fan. The living areas are no less impressive, with the lounge room offering an expansive 7m space with north facing bush views, and custom floating cabinetry for the TV / entertainment equipment. The family room off the kitchen, is light and bright with floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors and is just the place to relax with a book in front of the slow combustion log fire.
With a recent refresh, the entry is looking smart with a VJ board feature wall, and the laundry has been re-tiled with a new hardwood counter and integrated tub and black mixer tap. New white polyurethane cupboards and overhead shelving have been added to the laundry to maximise the available storage. The refresh continues in the main bath with a new polyurethane vanity and VJ board feature spanning the full width of the room to add a modern touch. The lounge room and all bedrooms have received new carpets in a classy dark hue that offsets the light walls and blend seamlessly with the tiles in the kitchen and living areas. Rounding out the internal package is ducted air conditioning and downlighting in all rooms, with the power bills managed by a 6-kw solar system.
Moving outside you have an expanse of space that can only come from an acre block. Post and wires fences to the rear allow uninterrupted views of the bush to the south, and as a biodiversity lot, this view will never be lost to houses. Gates to the side of the home access the 7.5m x 8m shed with 3 phase power. A concrete pad has been added beside the shed to cater for an additional carport if required. Opposite the shed is an inground saltwater pool that is just the place to cool off on a summer's day.
Allowing flexibility for teenagers or when family members come to stay, a relocatable granny flat is located to the side of the home and is totally private with dedicated access via a side gate. Featuring a modern kitchen and bathroom, the one bed layout is spacious with the total area under roof just on 55m2. Supplementing the indoor space, a covered timber deck provides the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor cuppa in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening.
Those looking for a large 4 bed home on an acre, with a bush outlook, need look no further. This home provides an excellent blend of space, while ticking all the important boxes of pool, shed and multiple living areas. The addition of a great one bed granny flat is icing on the cake.
