Nestled amongst an abundance of beautiful trees is this north-facing, steel-framed, brick home, set on a picturesque 2 1/2 acres. The front entry leads to an L-shaped lounge and dining room, equipped with a combustion fireplace to keep you warm and cosy on those cool winter nights. The adjoining timber kitchen comes complete with air con, corner eatery, beautiful slate flooring and new benchtops. All four bedrooms have built-ins and ceiling fans, the master with a walk-through robe and ensuite. The main bathroom is spacious and the nearby laundry leads you outside onto the wraparound verandah. Outside is a large undercover area, perfect for entertaining, keeping the kids busy in wet weather or simply enjoying summer drinks and dinner. You’ll love the huge separate rumpus room with bar and bathroom. Use it as a games or theatre room, additional living space or perhaps extra accommodation with potential to convert to a one bed granny flat. Next to the rumpus is the inground saltwater pool where you’ll cool off in on a hot summer day. The oversized double garage allows plenty of room for your vehicles, tools, storage and work space and even comes with an extra toilet and bath/shower for your convenience. There is also ample space for additional vehicles adjacent to the garage. The property is partially fenced, near level and offers the perfect environment for grazing stock, and is equally perfect for the kids to enjoy running around. Surrounded by other acreages, there is little traffic and no noise other than the array of birds who visit regularly. Just sit back, relax, unwind and enjoy the privacy, peace & tranquility from this delightful small rural acreage. The property is also on Newcastle town water supply so you never have to worry about water restrictions again!!
