Sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet offered by this quality home. Set amongst landscaped gardens and native bushland, is this impressive 3.76 acre property at Brandy Hill.
A short gravel driveway leads past a row of screening trees and bush rock retained garden beds to the pleasant brick and tile home, which had its roof repointed and repainted in a contemporary grey finish three years ago.
Designed in an L-shape the home is deceptively spacious, with five bedrooms, three living areas and a country-style kitchen arranged to overlook the generous covered rear verandah and beyond to the resort-style inground swimming pool.
A modern colour scheme injects a fresh, contemporary feel throughout the home, with newly laid plush grey carpet in the bedrooms and a softer grey tone on the walls contrasting beautifully with the white ceilings and skirting boards.
The well-sized bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, roller blinds and combination ceiling fans and lights, with the master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite with an oversized vanity and wall-mounted mirror running the length of one wall.
The main bathroom is also nicely fitted out with a luxuriously large corner bath, semi-frameless shower screen and oversized vanity, while the terracotta tones of the floor tiles are complemented by a row of native flora inspired feature wall tiles.
Gorgeous bamboo floorboards in both the lounge room and family room make the main living areas feel comfortable and cosy, while also reflecting the natural colouring of the slate flooring in the kitchen and adjacent study nook.
A slow combustion fireplace adds to the ambiance in the lounge room, which is the ideal place to curl up with a good book or relax with family or friends in the sitting area.
The spacious open plan kitchen, family and dining room at the rear of the home provides another ideal entertaining area, with two sliding doors on adjacent walls offering access to the rear verandah as well as uninterrupted views over the landscaped gardens in the backyard.
The verandah wraps around the entire back area of the house in the manner of a traditional country homestead, offering multiple locations for lounge and dining areas that make the most of the scenic rural setting. The verandah also envelopes a truly impressive pool area, providing the perfect spot to relax while keeping an eye on the kids when they go for a swim.
Surrounded by palm trees for that year-round holiday feel, the fully fenced pool area is every childs dream, with an 11m x 4.5m inground saltwater pool complete with a water slide. A separate spa injects a resort-style experience into the area, while expansive pebblecrete surrounds provide ample room to soak up the sun on a deck chair or lounge.
A cottage-style timber cubby house set amongst the landscaped gardens and established trees adds to the appeal for the younger members of the family, who are also sure to enjoy exploring the 3.76 acre block studded with stands of gum trees.
Horse lovers are also well catered for by this property, with around three acres fenced off into a large paddock, which features a natural watercourse.
Aside from the native bushland, the property has been extensively planted with a range of shrubs and trees including a flourishing orchard that provides a bountiful harvest of pears, plums, mandarins, pecans, oranges, mulberries and bananas.
A double garage and attached double carport provide ample covered parking areas, while a variety of garden sheds ensure there is plenty of space to store all your garden tools.
An ideal property for those looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country, Brandy Hill is a picturesque, semi-rural community centrally positioned between Newcastle and Maitland, with the amenities and facilities of the regional centre of Raymond Terrace just 10 minutes away.
Raymond Terrace also provides easy access to the Pacific Highway for those heading north or to Nelson Bay, while the Newcastle Airport at nearby Williamtown has direct flights to a range of domestic destinations.
