CONTACT AGENT FOR A PRIVATE INSPECTION When you inspect a property and see a home as opposed to your next house; it’s not the furniture, finery and finishes that you see, but the cherished memories yet to happen. Christmas mornings in the sun-drenched formal living room; children’s sleep overs spent sprawling out across multiple living areas, family movie nights in the media room with popcorn and ice-creams and long languid Sundays with the papers on the deck. Welcome to No. 13 Parklands Road Largs, where everyone will feel at home. Being generous and enthusiastic hosts, the current vendors wanted a home that was conductive to entertaining. “Everyone tends to gravitate around the island bench and make themselves at home and the stylish dining zone next to the kitchen provides the perfect setting for everyday and more formal entertaining.” A sea of cabinetry makes a dramatic statement in the kitchen while offering a plethora of concealed storage options and a walk-in pantry. A place for everything and everything in a place. “I wanted a clutter free home. Here there’s oodles of storage in every room.” When a spectacular pendant light hung in the right place can be just a striking as a piece of artwork. Here in the formal lounge room the crystal handmade pendants create a sparkling contrast against the neutral backdrop. 12-foot ceilings and plush wool carpet finish complete the space. A main bedroom should be a sanctuary, a peaceful place and should be treated differently to the rest of the home. Here as you come through the double doors, a palatial master suite opens up with its own veranda, a large built in robe hidden behind the recessed bed cavity. The ensuite will make everyday feel like a holiday with a separate bath and duel vanities each with their own spotlight, wall mounted mirror and sink set in a Caesarstone bench. Even the WC is separate for that complete resort bathroom feel. The vendors say their favourite element of the home, however, is when the temperature drops and rain threatens to fall; there’s nothing lovelier than slipping onto the couch and watching the rain come in from the top level. Back downstairs and the expansive outdoor living area off the kitchen feels like an extension of the inside. Come through double glass doors and onto the Italian porcelain pavers and into the undercover dining area where the summer sun is neutralised by retractable block out blinds. The paving continues to provide a sunny spot to recline in an outdoor informal sitting area surrounded by greenery and the scent of murraya flower. Set in a floral garden and with a protected aspect, the calm and breezy second outdoor room at the side of the home with its timber decking and brand-new pergola roof will be a much-loved spot in summer and spring. “I can spend hours on the terrace just enjoying being here and experiencing the outdoors” say the current owners. It may be one of the home’s more utilitarian rooms, but even the laundry has “Stylish” stamped all over it thanks to the bespoke cabinetry and integrated AEG laundry appliances (which are included with the home). The location has something for everyone, only 10 minutes from Maitland’s CBD or Greenhills Shopping Centre and then onto Newcastle or the M1 making for an easy commute. You will feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of town living but have all that a major metro city has to offer within striking distance. Largs itself offers family lifestyle living in the historic hamlet with attractions for both grownups and little people. One of the country’s oldest continual primary schools, a historic pub and bottle shop, a day-care centre operates out of the historic church building, the Holy Family Catholic Church offers weekly services, a hairdresser, general store and newsagent. “I love the peace and tranquillity the home allows us. This is a happy, comfortable place that we will be sad to leave.”
