The 1960s heralded a new era of house design where small, dark rooms made way for an abundance of light and free-flowing dining and living zones. This home is no exception. Well sited on a generous 1600sqm double block in the pretty village of East Gresford, this family-oriented brick and tile home reminiscent of the time offers tremendous scope for renovators. Spacious open-plan living and dining zones with tiled floors are enhanced by large picture windows. Adjacent is the retro kitchen with gas cooktop and electric wall oven offering a practical working zone while planning a dream kitchen that embraces the magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Three bedrooms, two queen-size, one double, each with built-in robes share an expansive, centrally located, 1960s-style family bathroom with vanity, bath, shower and separate toilet. A large, screened alfresco rear deck with beautiful views is ideal for relaxation, dining and entertainment. The manicured lawns and low-maintenance front and rear gardens provide ample room for children and pets while offering the keen gardener an excellent foundation. Highlights include fresh interior decor in soft palette throughout, ducted air-conditioning, ceiling fans in all rooms and separate laundry with external access. A brick single garage with concrete floor, power and rear storeroom offers scope to conversion to a home-office, while a 12m x 3m steel shed with concrete floor and power and poly water tank is an ideal workshop.
Gresford’s location in the middle of the Hunter provides it with easy access to the region’s major centres. Dungog, Maitland and Singleton are 30mins away, while Newcastle is an easy 60min commute. With the Hunter’s key sites, including the World Heritage Barrington Tops National Park, historic towns, wineries and equestrian centres on the town’s doorstep, this well maintained property provides an excellent opportunity to create a modern, family home and lifestyle in an enviable location.
