When the first impression is spectacular, and it only gets better from there.
This beautifully crafted trophy home with 5 bedrooms, a swimming pool, downstairs guest quarters, self-contained studio and off-street parking for caravan promises that every possible point on a buyers wishlist is ticked. Located within the prestigious Valentine Gardens Estate, at the end of a gorgeous cul-de-sac and backing directly onto stunning bushland with just a single neighbour, this is a truly private and tranquil lifestyle that people spend years searching for.
Greeting you with a strong Hamptons form that is immediately impressive as you drive up, step inside and it feels both refreshingly modern and elegantly timeless, with framed leafy views and cooling lake breezes. A carefully curated palette of curves, stone and timber evokes a sense of warmth and nature, while the premium fixtures and bespoke detailing elevate every room. The expansive living areas, multi-generational considerations, thoughtfully integrated amenities and the high level of craftsmanship that you can expect when a builder renovates his own home, ensure calm luxury at every turn.
A study in refined interiors and relaxed family living, this stunning property will inspire your guests and make leaving for holidays difficult - as it will be hard to find anywhere comparable to home. While we imagine you will spend most sunsets dining by the pool and soaking up the incredible resort aesthetic, you are just minutes from the sparkling shores of Lake Macquarie and fine dining at eateries such as Martha and Tinta or simply overlooking the boats at Valentine Bowling Club.
- A backyard oasis that brings cohesion between the home and it's lush bushland backdrop. Enjoy the sparkling pool with curved infinity edge, the fully self-contained studio which makes the perfect pool house, guest house or Airbnb and the view-laden alfresco dining with no neighbours looking on. This is a home to host parties or simply your family, with guests and kids flowing indoors and out effortlessly.
