With a high-quality build, thoughtful layout, beautiful rear entertaining space, and an oversized double garage with an attached workshop area, 32 Portabello Crescent offers a glimpse of how residential living should be done.
Constructed on a well-utilised 637sqm in Thornton's quiet north, this residential delight presents neatly from the street with its lush lawn, established gardens, and modern aesthetic.
Step through the timber and glass front door to be enveloped by the welcoming feel of your next chapter, with high-quality tilework and plush carpets underfoot, minimalistic palettes to the wall and ceilings, and a floorplan designed with families and entertainers in mind.
There's a private study at the front of the home for those WFH days, and a set of double doors that open up to the expansive master suite, which will provide a private haven for parents and hosts with its spacious floorplan, large walk-in robe, and elegant double ensuite.
The hallway offers internal access to the attached double garage and workshop space to keep everyone warm and dry when heading out during the cold, wet winters, while a semi-private lounge area sits at the end of the hall, which could make an excellent space for a second living area, a rumpus for the kids, or a quiet sitting room for afternoon catch-ups and Sunday reading.
A high-end galley-style kitchen sits in the centre of the floorplan, offering the busy chef ample utility while keeping the space aesthetically pleasing and minimal thanks to the clever fridge space and countertop in the butler's pantry. Stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone benchtops, and soft-closing cabinetry provide some finer touches, while the sky-blue glass splashback livens the space with a touch of colour.
The kitchen overlooks an expansive open plan living area, with each of the halves feeling like independent spaces that are a part of something larger, enabling both separate downtime and family connection.
A carpeted hall to the west of the floorplan holds the three secondary bedrooms, the expansive main bathroom, a laundry with convenient external access, and a children's play area that could also be used as a private guest loungeroom for extended hosting or a semi-private Airbnb experience.
Netflix nights and movie marathons will turn into household rituals in the dedicated theatre room, which provides a home cinema experience with its plush carpets, block-out blinds, and overhead downlighting.
Step outside the home to find a gorgeous rear alfresco that's bordered by lush grass and tall established ferns, which will create a gorgeous place to enjoy family meals and evening drinks while catching some sunlight.
Thornton offers residents a small central business hub that offers a shopping centre with a Coles supermarket, as well as various essential services including medical practices, a post office and newsagency.
Thanks to Thornton's central location, commuting to Maitland will take just 17 minutes, Newcastle's CBD and coastline are just 36 from home, while the rolling hills and family attractions of the world-renown Hunter Valley wine region can be yours in just 43 minutes.
