The Agent Loves
"The floorplan is a standout - multiple living zones, a dedicated study, and a genuine sense of space across both levels, all finished with quality touches like ducted air, plantation shutters, and beautifully updated bathrooms. It's a home that simply works for family life."
The Location

Local shopping villages, schools, and parks make daily life easy, while Stockland Green Hills and Maitland's buzzing café scene are just minutes away. With its own train station and quick freeway access, commuting is a breeze, yet home always feels like a retreat.
Maitland - 14 min (13.4km)
Stockland Green Hills - 10 min (8.5km)
Newcastle - 30 min (26.8km)
The Snapshot
Sun-soaked weekends, splash-happy afternoons, and that delicious "we can stay in" feeling - the outdoor zone here is set up to make summer last. A sparkling saltwater pool takes centre stage, framed by a generous deck, established lawns, and a large covered alfresco that's made for long lunches and late-night chats. There's space for kids and pups to run, room to host, and even a rear gate straight onto the reserve and playground the kind of feature that quietly changes your everyday routine for the better.
The Home
There's a certain kind of ease you feel the moment you arrive here. Set across two spacious levels with multiple living zones and a backyard that's been beautifully finished, this is the sort of family home that makes day-to-day life feel a whole lot more organised and a whole lot more fun.
Inside, light and calm lead the way. The layout is generous without feeling cavernous, with separate spaces for relaxation, connection, work, and retreat. A formal living and dining zone sits at the front, while the heart of the home opens into a bright meals and family area, flowing beautifully to the outdoors via French doors. There's also a dedicated study, plus a rumpus room with double French-style entry and sliding-door access to the alfresco.
The kitchen is designed for real life and real entertaining, featuring stone benchtops, breakfast bar seating with power points, a walk-in pantry, a Bosch oven and dishwasher, a Smeg gas cooktop, and an extra-large fridge recess (with the fridge available for negotiation). It's practical, polished, and set up to keep the cook connected to the conversation.
Upstairs, a second living room adds another layer of flexibility, while four bedrooms deliver comfort and privacy. The master is a true retreat with an extra-large footprint, double entry doors, a double-sided walk-in robe, and a beautifully finished ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles, brass tapware, a frameless shower, and backlit mirrors. The main bathroom (recently renovated) brings a little boutique-hotel energy, including a freestanding bath positioned to soak up leafy reserve views through corner windows, plus matching brass finishes and sleek cabinetry.
Outdoors is where this home really shines: a large covered alfresco for long lunches and late-night chats, a sun-drenched saltwater concrete pool with deck, established lawns and gardens, outdoor lighting, two garden sheds, a new boundary Colorbond fence, and a rear gate leading directly to the
reserve and local playground.
Add a 9.36kW grid-tied solar system and an internal garage with epoxy flooring, drive-through access, and space for a gym set-up (available for negotiation) and you've got a home that's as functional as it is family-friendly.
