Last Listing description (February 2020)
Enjoy elevated farmland views and a quaint riverside village location with this stunning two-storey townhouse located just metres from the main street of Morpeth.
Built during 2013 in the boutique Closebourne estate, this spacious strata titled residence offers a low maintenance lifestyle that will leave plenty of time to enjoy the many attractions of Morpeth.
A vibrant tourism destination famous for its heritage architecture and history as a bustling colonial river port, Morpeth offers an interesting collection of cafes, specialty shops, art galleries and boutique stores, while its waterways are filled with recreational fishermen, kayakers or tourists taking a leisurely cruise along the scenic Hunter River.
Meander along cobblestone laneways and discover gourmet delights, handcrafted treasures and antique heirlooms, or while away the afternoon in one of the riverside coffee shops or historic pubs.
The elegant and relaxed feel of Morpeth has also been reflected in the home itself, which has been styled with a neutral colour palette for a timeless appeal. Its two-storey design and position on the 618sqm block also make the most of its fantastic setting, with views from the elevated alfresco area over the river flats, farmlands and mountain ranges beyond.
Luxury finishes and fittings have been used throughout to enhance the presentation and high quality feel of the home, with plantation shutters, ducted air conditioning, plush carpet and ceiling fans keeping it cosy and comfortable all year round.
A covered porch provides entry to a central foyer, with a hallway leading to the left towards a separate study and large lounge room, which has internal access to the double garage.
The main living areas are to the right of the entry foyer, with a spacious open plan family and dining room linking the contemporary kitchen with the tiled alfresco area for a seamless integration of indoor outdoor living.
A u-shaped design provides extensive preparation and storage space in the kitchen, with a large breakfast bar along one side able to seat four people. A walk-in pantry and additional storage cupboard also allows you to keep the benchtops clutter-free.
Wood-look laminate overhead cupboards provide a striking feature in the sleek space, with 20mm stone benchtops and a glossy subway tiled splashback adding to the kitchens clean, modern lines.
A powder room and laundry complete the downstairs accommodation, with a shelved walk-in linen cupboard adding to the ground floor storage space.
A carpeted staircase and gleaming timber hand rail lead to sleeping quarters, which are all contained on the first floor of the home.
The generously-proportioned rooms have built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, while the oversized master suite has a large walk-in wardrobe.
The childrens bedrooms have plenty of room to create chill-out zones or study areas, while the main bedroom will provide a peaceful parents retreat inside and out, with a private covered deck accessible via double sliding doors allowing you to take in the distant views towards Bolwarra.
Both the family bathroom and ensuite have been luxuriously fitted out, with on-trend square set semi-recessed basins, chrome tapware and sleek polished edge mirrors over the vanities.
The ensuite includes an extended his and hers vanity and spacious shower recess, while the main bathroom also features a large bath in a tiled hob.
Established gardens and hedging around the boundary of the block create both privacy and kerb appeal, while a slim line rainwater storage tank, gas hot water system and solar panels make this an environmentally friendly and economical home.
Ideal for families or those looking for a quiet village life, the home is close to a range of essential services including a small supermarket, medical centre and primary school, with a range of playgrounds and sporting facilities scattered throughout the suburb.
The boutique shopping precincts of Melbourne and Lawes streets in East Maitland and the major retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills are around 10 minutes away, while the revitalised Levee shopping area in central Maitland, which is becoming a local culinary hotspot, is a 15 minute drive.
