Tucked inside the tightly-held, boutique Ironbark Grove enclave of just 16 homes, this three-bedroom dual-level townhouse commands attention with Caesarstone kitchen benches, stainless steel appliances, ducted air-conditioning and a floorplan engineered to entertain. It's sharp and spacious, sitting in one of Maryland's most connected pockets where schools, link roads and parkland are all within arm's reach. Walk in and the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining zone unfolds before you, spilling out through glass to a north-east facing courtyard built for weekend entertaining or doing nothing at all. The well-equipped kitchen includes, a gas cooktop and dishwasher ready to handle everything from a casual weeknight dinner to a full dinner party. Head upstairs and three large bedrooms await, each fitted with a built-in robe, while the master claims its own private balcony - your new go-to for morning coffee or a sundowner. A full family bathroom and a handy ground-floor powder room within the laundry keep the convenience factor high. Two-zone ducted air-conditioning and gas heating lock in comfort no matter the season, and premium finishes stamp their mark on every square metre of this 2014-built home. And the location delivers on every front. You're 20 minutes from Newcastle's CBD, within 10 minutes of Wallsend, the university and Jesmond Central, and one quick merge onto the M1 for the Central Coast, Sydney or a Hunter Valley long lunch. Families land on gold here too with Maryland Public School a 700m walk, and zoning for Callaghan College. Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College and Fletcher Village shopping precinct are both five minutes away by car. - Modern dual-level townhouse within Ironbark Grove - a boutique complex of just 16 - Tiled open-plan living flows straight to outdoor entertaining, connecting indoors and out - Bright white Caesarstone kitchen with wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, breakfast bar - North-east facing deck and lawned courtyard for alfresco living - Three top-floor bedrooms; each with a robe and carpet; master with private balcony - Bathroom with separate shower and bath plus ground-floor powder room - Automatic single garage with direct internal access - Walk to Tumpoaba Reserve Playground, 700m to Maryland Public, 1km to Glendore and Maryland Public Schools, 2.5km from Bishop Tyrell Anglican College - 1.7km to Fletcher Village for a Coles Supermarket, eateries and specialty stores Council Rates: Water Rates: $742.28 per annum Rental Estimate: $600 - $650 per week
