This free standing townhouse with its cool New York apartment vibe is the perfect purchase for the first home buyer or investor. With edgy charcoal colours, concrete and stone throughout and a fabulous entertainer's deck and private, tropical backyard - this property is all class. But you would be hard pressed to find a backyard like this in New York. The sleek black stacker doors open wide allowing the party to spill out onto the large timber entertaining deck and into the private garden. Stock up on the vodka, Cointreau and cranberry juice and get making those cosmos! It might not be Soho but the aesthetic feels pretty darn close. Built just over 2 years ago this home has quality fixtures and fittings throughout including a fabulous kitchen with stone counter, stainless steel AEG gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher and statement concrete pendant lights over the eat in breakfast bar. The bathrooms continue the funky aesthetic with soft close drawers in charcoal to complement the flooring and floor-to-ceiling tiles as well as an understated light grey honeycomb feature tile in the showers. There is also a separate powder room downstairs for guests. All windows and doors boast modern double roller blinds - light filtering and privacy blinds at the back and a second layer of block out blinds for a Sunday sleep in. This property is just 6 mins by car or Uber to the Warners Bay Foreshore with its funky boutiques, homewares stores and a range of cafes, restaurants and plenty of places for a drink as you watch the sun sink low over the water. You are situated 6 minutes from both Bennetts Green and Gateshead – handy if you want to catch a movie, shop up a storm or head out for a beer and a burger. A little closer to home is Lake Macquarie Square, just 230m from your front door, if you need to grab a coffee, groceries or quick mid-week meal – are you thinking Thai or pizza tonight? On the weekends it is a quick 6 minute drive to Dudley Beach and another 4 minutes on to the mountain bike trails of Glenrock State Conservation Area. - Contemporary 2-bedroom townhouse - Private backyard with tropical vibe and covered entertaining deck - Charcoal carpets upstairs and funky black oversized tiles downstairs - Split systems air conditioning in two zones - Large casement windows to allow the breeze and natural light to stream in - Sleek kitchen with quality AEG gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher - 2 bathrooms and powder room – all so chic - Space saving Euro laundry, 1 car garage with storage and internal access - 6 minutes to Warners Bay Esplanade and the shores of Lake Macquarie - 6 minutes to Bennetts Green and Gateshead shopping and dining areas Outgoings: Council rates: $1,378 approx. per annum Water rates: $786 approx. per annum Strata rate: $1,833 approx. per annum Disclaimer: All information contained herein is gathered from sources we deem reliable.
