It was love at first sight 28 years ago for the current owners who fell for this home's spacious tri-level design and panoramic north-easterly views across Newcastle as far as Barrington Tops and Nelson Bay. Interesting angles and architectural lines including exposed timber beams and a soaring 5m raked ceiling in the lounge room gift this property with an overwhelming sense of space and character. Kept entirely up to date with renovations to the kitchen and three bathrooms along with the addition of a wonderfully private Tallowood deck to take in those views, this is a superb place to raise a family with potential to self-contain the lower level for older children, in-laws or visiting guests. There's no shortage of space for everyone to stretch out with separate lounge and dining spaces and 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom accommodation. Forming the heart of the home is a contemporary kitchen featuring stone benchtops and Miele appliances. You will love the natural light and leafy views that filter into this space as well as the seamless connection to the decked alfresco that offers a delightful, spot for entertaining guests or relaxing with the family while they take in the Newcastle city lights that sparkle by night. Two separate garages and a deep setback driveway allows multi-vehicle off-street parking. Dip into The Junction, city and beaches with ease from this quiet address.
