Seeking a rural escape but don't want to let go of those residential conveniences? Begin your next chapter with this stunning Parish Drive property and enjoy the best of both worlds. With beautiful natural surroundings, an unmissable outlook to the rear, 8-minute access to Maitland, and a 35-minute trip into Newcastle.
Cruising down the quiet, tree-lined roads in a secluded pocket to Thornton's southeast, it's easy to let the world slip away as you approach 193 Parish Drive.
Pet-safe timber and wire fencing surrounds the 6382sqm block, with a long, paved driveway dividing the lush greenery to the front of the home.
The crisp palette of the brick and Colorbond build provides a subtle contrast to the natural surroundings without causing disharmony, while the pillars and pediments to the front of the home create a timeless design that feels both elegant and modern.
Step inside and you'll find an internal aesthetic that's no less impressive, with polished timber floorboards and plush carpets sweeping through the home, and a bright palette to the walls working to evenly distribute the natural light.
A thoughtful design to the floorplan holds the home's four bedrooms and generous main bathroom in a private hall to the east, while the western half of the home is reserved for all things entertaining and living.
Bedrooms two through four each contain convenient built-ins, comfortable carpets, and crisp plantation shutters to the windows to enable those Sunday sleep-ins. The master suite expands on these inclusions to offer an expansive walk-in robe, a stunning ensuite with a dual-basin vanity, and stunning rural views to the north.
Moving into the western half of the home, the new owner will be spoiled for choice when it comes to entertaining.
Plush carpet lies underfoot in the formal lounge and study, with sheer curtains over the wide windows to the north creating a space that's perfect for a morning coffee or afternoon read.
Opposite these spaces lies an expansive living room with a bay window overlooking the rear entertaining area, and a central dining room that's warmed by a large, wood-burning fireplace that will make cold winter's nights something to look forward to.
Eating out and takeaway will become a rarity with the elegant cooking experience provided by the gourmet kitchen. 20mm Caesarstone benchtops ring the space, with high-end stainless steel appliances, a wealth of glossy cabinetry, and a wraparound breakfast bar for busy mornings.
Behind the kitchen lies a generous laundry and convenient second toilet, internal access to the garage, and a tranquil courtyard.
While the inside of the home offers an abundance of luxe entertaining areas and relaxing spaces, stepping out to the rear undercover rear deck is truly something else.
Timber panelling flows underfoot and triple roof-length skylights sit overhead, with a view of endless green extending to the rear, a stunning inground pool to the left, and an outdoor fireplace to keep the space warm.
The remainder of the block is an oasis of lush grass and established trees for kids and pets to explore, with a large double-bay shed and five elevated vegetable gardens to the rear.
With beautiful natural surroundings, an unmissable outlook to the rear, 8-minute access to Maitland, and a 35-minute trip into Newcastle, 193 Parish Drive truly offers the best of both worlds.
