Families - seize the day! It's not often that homes come up in this highly sought-after magical pocket bordering the renowned Glenrock Nature Reserve and Fernleigh Track with abundant bike and walking trails. And right now, here is the perfect opportunity to buy into this exclusive enclave with this solidly built brick and tile 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom and 2-living family home with level lawn. Walking down the cool, tiled breezeway to the rear of the home, and adjacent to the tiled alfresco BBQ area, you enter the superbly sized family/dining room with air-conditioning, ceiling fans and a gas heater. There's room enough for the kids to run around here and be supervised from the large original kitchen, in mint condition, with plenty of storage and modern stainless-steel appliances. Accessible from the other side of the kitchen or also via the breezeway is the enormous formal lounge or TV room, with plenty of room for a big old comfy corner couch for the family to spread out and catch up on the latest on Netflix. Adjoining the lounge is a large, light-filled guest bedroom/study. Upstairs includes 3 additional bedrooms, the master with ensuite and walk-in robe next to a pleasant little reading nook, and an additional two double bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans. The third bedroom is a surprise, being at least as big as the master and featuring dual aspect windows and a lovely leafy outlook. Also in the kids zone, you'll find the family bathroom with bath and separate toilet, and three conveniently located linen closets. Families and entertainers alike will enjoy the north-facing and level corner lawn with undercover BBQ area where friends can gather and there's also plenty of room for all the children to run around and play, or go fairy-spotting in the fernery. This home has been well loved and beautifully maintained and is in mint original condition. It's ready for a family to move in and enjoy its pristine retro features, or renovators may wish to renovate the home to their own taste. The location is second to none. Fitness fiends and families alike will enjoy the year-round pleasures of walking or cycling the many trails or exploring the hidden creeks and ferny glens surrounding this leafy close-knit community, and it's only a short drive to Newcastle's most fabulous beaches.
