There’s certainly more than meets the eye when it comes to this magnificently renovated Thornton property, which combines sleek interior styling with a stunning front yard oasis you won’t want to leave.
Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by established homes, this three-bedroom Hardiplank and tile residence is sure to delight young families or downsizers, with a host of surprises at every turn.
The property is part of a subdivisions where houses were typically built facing inwards towards a communal bushland corridor, with the garage or back fence fronting onto the street.
In this case the orientation of the house has facilitated the creation of a peaceful and private front yard, surrounded by lush foliage and screened from the neighbours by large, established trees.
Access from the street is via a deluxe double carport, which features a remote-controlled roller door and black aluminium perimeter fencing for added security.
Timber steps lead up to a covered rear porch, with a solid timber door providing direct access into the dining area at the back of the house.
Recently repainted with a modern grey and white colour scheme that enhances the bright and spacious feeling of the rooms, the interior of the home has been fully updated with a long list of luxury inclusions creating a high level finish throughout.
White timber plantation shutters provide a sleek, contemporary option for the window furnishings, while a combination of timber laminate floorboards, plush grey carpet and cool, white tiles add elements of comfort and practicality to various areas of the house.
The home is divided into two distinct halves, creating a natural flow between the adjoining living areas and a practical separation from the bedroom wing.
The three bedrooms are grouped around a central hallway space, which also provides access to the adjoining family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms, including the master suite, feature built-in wardrobes, while a double door linen cupboard in the hallway provides additional storage.
The bathroom has been beautifully renovated, with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a wall-hung vanity and frameless shower recess with deluxe rain showerhead and built-in shelving providing little touches of luxury.
A European laundry has been concealed behind sliding doors opposite the kitchen, making the most of the compact layout without having to sacrifice valuable living space.
The home has two separate living areas, including a good-sized dining room at the rear. A servery window and square set doorway enhance the feeling of space while also creating a practical connection between the dining room and adjoining kitchen.
Sleek white laminate cabinetry, a glossy black stone benchtop and a concrete-look tiled splashback give the kitchen a modern industrial feel, with extensive underbench and overhead cabinetry and a floor-to-ceiling pantry providing ample storage space.
White floor tiles flow from the kitchen through to the front of the home, with plush grey carpet in the adjoining lounge room offering a comfortable and cosy space to relax with the family.
The stately double entry doors open up the living room to the covered timber deck at the front of the home, creating a seamless indoor outdoor flow for extended entertaining.
The deck is a relaxed and peaceful space, with privacy screening at the side and masses of established plants giving it a lush, tropical feel. The deck has plenty of room to accommodate a dining setting and lounge near the amazing built-in barbecue, while the nearby spa provides another spot from which to relax and enjoy the serenity on offer.
A large fenced yard with manicured lawn is ideal for pet owners and families with young children, while the property’s proximity to the neighbourhood shopping centre, public transport options, sporting facilities, primary school and playground add to its appeal.
Thornton is ideally located close to the major regional transport links, with easy access to the New England Highway, Hunter Expressway and M1 motorway to Sydney, while the retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills shopping centre is less than 10 minutes’ drive away.
Perfect for retirees looking to downsize, or for young families seeking a peaceful and private setting in which to raise their children, this unique Thornton property offers the complete package, with plenty of surprises on offer behind its unassuming street frontage.
