With a modern design and great location in a bustling suburb just five minutes from Maitland's city centre, this low maintenance family home has plenty of appeal. An attractive option for first home buyers and investors looking to secure a property in a high growth area, this home ticks all the boxes with bright and spacious interiors, a practical floorplan and quality finishes. A lovely brick and Colorbond façade give this home modern street appeal, with a sectional door on the attached double garage and a contemporary timber and glass panel entry door enhancing the look. The modern finish continues inside where a neutral colour scheme provides the perfect base to suit any décor, while vertical blinds offer a streamlined finish on the windows. The colour palette also enhances the home's sense of space, while helping to reflect the natural light flooding in through the large windows to create a bright and welcoming ambience. The well-appointed kitchen has been beautifully styled with white laminate cabinetry accented with slate grey subway tiles on the splashback for a classic look while stainless steel appliances add to the contemporary chic. Overhead and underbench cupboards as well as a walk-in pantry provide plenty of storage, while a servery and breakfast bar ensure there is ample preparation space. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home's open plan design, overlooking the adjoining dining area and cosy main living space while a second lounge room off the entry hall provides more than enough space for the whole family to relax. The central living hub also opens up to the covered alfresco area through glass sliding doors, creating a seamless connection for entertaining and easy access to the low maintenance, fully fenced backyard. The home has been ideally laid out for families, with the spacious master suite at the front to provide peace and privacy for parents, while the three children's bedrooms are located off the dining room for easy access, with a dedicated study nook creating the ideal place for homework assignments or study sessions. Built-in wardrobes in the children's bedrooms and a walk-in space in the master ensure there is more than enough storage for all your personal items, while the laundry also includes a two-door linen cupboard. Two rectangular feature windows overlooking the street and a highlight window above the bed ensure the master suite feels light and inviting, with a stylish ensuite for added convenience, while the main bathroom has a deep bath, separate shower with a feature tile mosaic strip and a vanity with ample storage. Combination ceiling fans with winter and summer modes in all the bedrooms will ensure a good night's sleep, while the living areas have reverse-cycle split system air conditions for year-round comfort. Offering a great package with all the creature comforts you could want, this property is ideally located in the growing suburb of Gillieston Heights, which is popular with families and offers plenty of potential thanks to a multimillion-dollar shopping complex, which is set to be constructed in the suburb, while the adjacent McDonalds restaurant is already complete. An existing general store and bottle shop on Cessnock Road provides day-to-day basics while a five-minute drive to Maitland offers plenty of other options including several shopping centres, numerous supermarkets, recreational, cultural and commercial precincts and a revitalised city centre with a growing number of boutique retailers and well-regarded culinary options. Easy access to the Hunter Expressway puts the region's major attractions and employment centres within a short commute, with Newcastle's cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and thriving central business district just a 40-minute drive.
