Searching for your exciting next chapter in the gorgeous Hunter Valley? Come home to the elegance and comfort of this stunning Lochinvar acreage, and enjoy the unmatched living provided by a timeless, master-built residence, a gorgeous pool and outdoor entertaining area, and lush vistas in all directions.
Tucked away in the winding, tree-lined roads of Lochinvar – just 15 minutes from Maitland CBD's range of amenities and attractions – 481 Old North Road's pristine nature escape starts right at the front.
Pulling into the long driveway to the front of the property, you'll follow lush greenery the whole way down, with a small olive grove to the left as you make your way towards the stunning architecturally designed home with an abundance of lifestyle features.
Entry to the residence is beneath a large undercover verandah that overlooks the park-like surrounds, making coming home a relaxing escape no matter how long the day has been.
Step inside to discover a bright and spacious floorplan that's been expertly designed to maximise connection and capitalise on the stunning surroundings with its wide, open spaces and expanse of glass windows. Hardwood timber flooring lie underfoot, with high, pitched ceilings overhead creating a feeling of abundance and luxury.
Move through to the open plan dining and living space and find hardwood timber sweeping across the floors, complementing the exposed brick and Oregon beams to the ceilings to create a stunning aesthetic that hints at the old worlds while still feeling modern. Thoughtfully placed skylights allow an abundance of light into the space, while the bricked-in fireplace provides lasting warmth and peaceful ambience throughout the colder months.
There's more Oregon timber to the benchtops and cabinetry in the gourmet kitchen, with a granite chopping bench to the centre, dark tiles underfoot, and stainless steel appliances to the walls, creating a relaxing environment to prepare homecooked meals.
The Eastern half of the home holds the stunning master suite and second bedroom, along with the expansive main bathroom and two large storage rooms, while the Western half holds bedrooms two and three, and an expansive laundry with external access.
Head down from the main living area to find a stunning sunroom sitting on large textured pavers, with an entire wall of windows affording picturesque views to the south all day long – there's no better place to relax with a morning coffee, a good book, or evening glass of wine.
While the interior of the home is clearly impressive, it's the surrounding acreage that will see this property adored by its new owner. Lush rolling lawns flow down from the rear deck to surround the pool area, with the rolling hills beyond dotted with a wealth of tall established natives.
There's also a detached granny flat with laminate timber flooring to the living room, carpets to the bedroom, a private bathroom, kitchenette, and its own carport. This space will make for an excellent self-contained guesthouse, a teenager's retreat, or a lucrative Airbnb opportunity.
From falling asleep to the serene ambience that can only be provided by kilometres of uninterrupted nature, to waking up to the sounds of birds and washing the remnants of sleep away with a dip in the pool on a summer's morning; this Lochinvar acreage is the epitome of Hunter Valley living.
