Located in one of the most sought-after suburbs in the Lower Hunter, this delightful East Maitland home offers charm, convenience and an abundance of storage inside and out.
Set back from the tree-lined street behind a series of retained garden beds and a neat patch of lawn, the weatherboard and tile home has a cute, cottagey look, with a lovely paved patio providing the ideal spot to bask in the warmth of the morning sun.
Inside, the home has been stylishly updated, with a fresh, neutral colour scheme allowing the original character of the property to shine through.
A gorgeous sandstone mantlepiece surrounding the former fireplace recess, which now houses a gas heater, creates an eye-catching feature in the lounge room, while polished floorboards and timber skirting boards and architraves add further texture and warmth to the space.
The lounge room flows through to the open plan kitchen and dining room, where large format white floor tiles and off-white kitchen cabinetry gently reflect the natural light around the room for a bright and airy feel.
Heritage-style cupboard doors give the kitchen an authentic feel, while dark laminate benchtops provide a dramatic contrast for a modern touch.
A sliding door at the end of the kitchen bench provides access to a second toilet and separate laundry, while gorgeous timber French doors between the dining room and the rear living room enable you to separate the two spaces for added privacy.
Providing that second living area that modern family buyers are looking for, the living room offers a comfortable casual entertaining space or chill-out zone for the kids, with a light bright interior thanks to two large picture windows and a glass sliding door. The door leads out to the rear raised timber deck, with space for a small table setting where you can sit and watch the kids play in the securely fenced backyard.
A short flight of steps lead down into the low-maintenance yard, with a concrete path connecting the house to the detached double garage.
Constructed around twelve months ago and accessible via a concrete driveway down the side of the house, the 10m x 6.2m Colorbond garage has two roller doors and can comfortably house two cars, with additional room to the left side that could be used as a workshop or added storage.
There is also an abundance of storage space inside the home, including two linen cupboards in the hallways near the bathroom and separate toilet, and an additional broom closet in the laundry.
The three generously-proportioned bedrooms also feature large built-in wardrobes, with triple sliding doors on each, while the oversized vanity in the bathroom offers ample underbench storage. The bathroom has a relaxed, peaceful vibe, with a soothing green and white colour scheme, subway tiles midway up the walls and a large built-in bath.
Higher ceilings, detailed cornices and plantation shutters add the finishing touches to the homes lovely interior style, while ceiling fans and split-system air conditioning are practical additions to keep the home comfortable year round.
