Located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the rural edge of the master planned Darcy's Peak residential community, this fantastic property offers plenty of value with four bedrooms, three living areas and a low maintenance block that even has the potential for side vehicle access. Built in 2013, the home has been well maintained and still feels fresh and new, with a neutral colour scheme, light, bright interior and modern fittings and fixtures. A contemporary brick and tile façade provides plenty of kerb appeal, complemented by the timber and glass panel front door. The home features a family-friendly layout, with three distinct living areas ensuring there is space for everyone. Double doors on the media room add to its versatility, allowing you to open it up to the adjacent lounge room for added space, or close it off to keep the two areas separate when you want to enjoy a home theatre experience without disturbing the rest of the house. An additional spacious family room is located together with the dining area and stylish kitchen at the heart of the home. This central open plan living area is a bright and inviting space that encourages connected family living, with the added bonus of sliding door access to the covered alfresco area for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. A combination of crisp white and dark timber-look finishes gives the gourmet kitchen a sleek, modern feel, enhanced by the stainless steel appliances and contemporary square-edged door handles. A long island bench with laminate waterfall benchtop provides plenty of preparation space as well as ample breakfast bar seating for casual meals, while overhead and underbench cabinetry and a built-in pantry cater for all your storage needs. Large windows and glass sliding doors ensure the open plan area is flooded with natural light, which is reflected around the space by the light coloured tiled flooring and lovey neutral colour scheme. The master bedroom at the front of the house also benefits from large windows for a bright and airy feel, while a dark coloured carpet provides a dramatic contrast to the light walls. Generously-proportioned with plenty of space for a luxurious bedroom setting, the master suite offers a private parents' retreat away from the remaining three bedrooms, which are all located at the rear of the home. A good-sized walk-in wardrobe and a well-appointed ensuite complete the master suite, while the three other bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes for ample storage. The family bathroom is located adjacent to the rear bedrooms for added convenience and has been completed in the same modern style as the ensuite, with lovely timber-look cabinetry to the vanity. A compact laundry completes this rear bedroom wing, with an external door providing direct access to the side yard. The landscaped backyard features a good-sized expanse of lawn and high timber fencing, making it ideal for young children to explore and secure enough for pets, while still being low maintenance enough not to take up all your free time. Located in the popular suburb of Gillieston Heights, the surrounding area offers a touch of rural ambience while still being less than five minutes to the amenities of Maitland and an easy drive to the attractions of Newcastle and the world-renowned Hunter Valley vineyards. The suburb is popular with families and has several neighbourhood parks and sporting fields as well as a charming local public primary school, while a small general store and newsagency on the main road provides essential everyday items. More varied shopping options can be found in Maitland's CBD, which offers several shopping centres, numerous supermarkets, a strong commercial precinct and a revitalised city centre with a growing number of boutique retailers and well-regarded dining choices.
