Youll never run short of a spot to store your car, bike or boat, with an abundance of vehicle accommodation on offer at this lovely Raymond Terrace home.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac that ends in a nature reserve, which connects through to the Tilligerry State Conservation Area, the neighbourhood has a tranquil ambience not often found in a densely populated residential area.
Extensive gardens, large trees and a flourishing side hedge give the property plenty of greenery of its own, with a central path that leads straight to the covered verandah of the brick and tile house.
The front door opens into the main living area, which was added to the property in 1997. A homely, comfortable room with soft cream carpet and a gas connection point to keep it cosy in winter, the lounge provides plenty of space for relaxed family gatherings, as well as a lovely view and direct access to the rear pool yard.
A second sitting area is located through a doorway on the right and forms part of the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Bamboo floorboards add a sense of warmth, texture and cohesion in this large combined space, while an island bench offers casual breakfast bar seating while also helping to define the different zones.
The gleaming white kitchen is around eight years old and offers an abundance of benchtop and storage space, with glossy white cabinetry helping bounce the natural light around the room for a bright, airy feel.
The reverse L-shaped design of the home keeps all the living areas connected across the front, while the three bedrooms and office are located around a central hallway on the long vertical side, along with the family bathroom and laundry.
The two minor bedrooms and home office, which could double as a nursery, all include built-in wardrobes and plush carpet underfoot, with split system air conditioners and ceiling fans to ensure a comfortable nights sleep.
The main bedroom has a split level design accessible via the home office, ensuring added privacy for a true parents retreat. Glass sliding doors on one side lead out to the second carport and attached garage, while on the opposite side of the room the luxurious large ensuite includes a corner spa bath and walk-through access to the walk-in wardrobe.
While there is plenty of space for the family inside, it is the outside features of this property that really set it apart.
A concrete driveway runs down one side of the house connecting the propertys two front carports with the large garage, making it easy to bring in the boat or even store the caravan safely in the off-street parking space.
The garage has roller doors front and back for convenient drive-through access to a third carport at the rear of the block, as well as a built-in workbench running the entire length of one side wall. Built-in storage cupboards take up two thirds of the opposite wall of the garage, providing plenty of storage space for an extensive tool collection.
An inground concrete swimming pool, covered alfresco area and good-sized yard cap off the external inclusions of this fantastic property, which is ideal for the home handyman, car lover or motorbike enthusiast, as well as a large, growing family.
Conveniently located minutes from various sporting and entertainment facilities at the Lakeside Leisure Centre and within walking distance of Grahamstown Public School, the property is just a few streets back from Richardson Road, which heads east towards the crystal blue waters of Nelson Bay and west towards the shopping outlets, medical centres and other amenities of Raymond Terrace.
Newcastle Airport is just 14 minutes drive away, opening up direct flight access to Australias major metropolitan centres including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and the Gold Coast, while the local delights of Newcastles bars, beaches and boutiques are less than 30 minutes south.
