Fall in love with a life amongst the gum trees at this magnificent lifestyle property, which offers an updated traditional-style country home nestled in a picturesque landscape.
Featuring a tree-studded 9,924sqm block in the tranquil rural suburb of Brandy Hill, this property is sure to please with plenty of space and outdoor entertaining options for families to enjoy, an abundance of birds and wildlife for nature-lovers to discover and ample distance between your neighbours for total peace and privacy.
Concealed from the road by towering trees, the home is set at the end of a long, dual entry gravel driveway, with a pleasing brick construction and green Colorbond roof that allows it to sympathetically blend in with the natural landscape.
A wide covered verandah wrapping around the front of the home and running the full length of the rear enhances its traditional homestead facade, while offering plenty of options for you to sit and enjoy the beauty of the bushland surrounds.
Timber accents have been used throughout to further tie into this country aesthetic, with bamboo floorboards drawing the eye down the entry hallway to the main living areas beyond where their warmth and texture contrasts nicely against the neutral colour palette on the walls.
Timber skirting boards, door and window surrounds in both the living spaces and bedrooms enhance this feel, setting off beautifully the timber and glass panel French doors and large timber windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flood into each room.
The crowning glory of the timber accents is the vintage-style freestanding vanity in the family bathroom, which creates an elegant impression next to the freestanding clawfoot bath.
Modern finishes and sleek textures are also used to good effect throughout this updated home, with Caesarstone benchtops in the gourmet kitchen, master bedroom ensuite, powder room and well-appointed laundry, contemporary remote-controlled combination ceiling fans with light fittings in the bedrooms and LED downlights throughout.
Featuring a fantastic layout that is ideal for families, the home has four generously-proportioned bedrooms that include built-in mirrored door wardrobes for ample storage, and have been updated with plush new carpet for cosy comfort underfoot.
The master suite includes a large walk-in wardrobe with built-in hanging space and shelving and a cavity sliding door to conceal its contents from the main room.
Double French doors and a single French from the master suite open out to the rear and front verandahs respectively to enhance the room's appeal, while the stylish modern ensuite complete the parents' retreat package.
The spacious living areas are located at the other end of the house to the bedrooms for the ideal separation, with a variety of expansive rooms providing plenty of space for every member of the family to relax.
The open plan kitchen and dining room is a warm and inviting area at the heart of this home, with a roaring fireplace to make it cosy for family gatherings in winter, while the large windows and doors frame picturesque outlooks over the surrounding bush landscape that you'll never tire of admiring.
Expansive storage areas in the kitchen provide more space than you could ever want, with two separate pantries either side of the fridge recess as well as both overhead and underbench cabinetry ensuring this updated kitchen has been designed for optimum useability.
A striking splashback adds a bright dash of colour to this space, while quality stainless steel appliances including dual Miele wall ovens complete the chic, contemporary look.
A sliding cavity door off the kitchen provides access to the cosy lounge room, which would also make the ideal office for those working from home, while a second spacious adjoining lounge room caters for large families or those who love to entertain.
French doors open up both of these living areas to either the rear or front verandah to create a seamless flow for enviable indoor/outdoor living, while also ensuring every room in the house has a fantastic view of the tranquil tree-studded surrounds.
The home's lifestyle advantages continue outside with a lovely inground saltwater pool that is sure to be a hit in the warmer months while a detached double garage with lined loft space offers plenty of secure car and storage space, with the possibility of being turned into a teenagers retreat or studio.
Located in the quiet suburb of Brandy Hill amongst other small acreages, this fantastic property provides the perfect opportunity to embrace a rural lifestyle while still being close to town, with the shops, schools and amenities of Raymond Terrace just 10 minutes away.
The central location also provides great connectivity to the region's wider attractions, with both Nelson Bay and Newcastle around 45 minutes away, while a 25 minute drive to Newcastle Airport puts you in reach of capital cities and major regional destinations across Australia.
