Last Listing description (February 2020)
Ditch the mower and spend your weekends relaxing by the pool as you enjoy the privacy, greenery and low maintenance living offered by this magnificent Morpeth home.
Lush landscaped gardens with manicured hedges, flourishing shrubs and established trees ensure this home is nestled in nature, with plenty of greenery to soften the outlook without the burden of a huge lawn to maintain.
The landscaping also provides the ultimate level of privacy from the street and surrounding properties, ensuring you feel like you are in a secluded oasis once you pass through the impressive brick and iron gated entrance.
A wide paved driveway leads down to the attached double garage, providing plenty of off-street parking for the family vehicles.
The paving continues along a curved pathway that threads its way through neatly constructed gardens to the shady front verandah, where turned wooden posts adds to the Georgian-style of the home's lovely faade.
Built in 1999 by Macquarie Homes, the brick and Colorbond roof house has been immaculately maintained inside and out.
Neutral colours, including soft cream and white tones, give the interior a light and bright feel with a hint of warmth, while the higher ceilings add to the home's sense of Georgian grandeur.
Period features including detailed cornices, picture rails and vintage-style pendant lights add to the sense of old-world glamour, while white aluminium plantation shutters in the central living, dining and kitchen area give it a more modern touch.
The home has been split into two distinct zones, with the bedrooms running down the right-hand-side while the home's multiple living areas are to the left of the central hallway.
The bedrooms are all generously-sized and feature built-in wardrobes and both roll-down blinds and sheer curtains on the windows, which give greater control over the level of privacy and light.
The grand master suite offers an oasis for parents, with a large walk-in wardrobe, well-appointed ensuite and a huge central space big enough to accommodate a king-sized bed as well as a study nook or sitting area.
Four windows flood the room with natural light while also providing a pleasant outlook over the front garden, where high hedges ensure the room remains peaceful and private.
The vast formal living room also features views over the front garden, as well as a spacious layout that provides plenty of room for entertaining, or relaxing with the family.
A second large living room is located at the rear of the home, with five oversized bow windows that fill the room with light while providing an unimpeded view of the landscaped gardens and adjoining pitched-roof alfresco area.
Square cream floor tiles provide an effortless connection between this living room, adjoining dining room and nearby kitchen. Glass sliding doors in the dining room connect this space to the covered alfresco area, creating that coveted indoor/outdoor living experience that is ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen was upgraded 12 months ago and is a focal point in this open plan area, with classic shaker-style cabinetry, 40mm laminate square cut benchtops in a modern granite-look finish and quality stainless steel appliances that make entertaining easy.
A return benchtop with breakfast bar seating helps connect the kitchen to the dining room while also providing a spot for casual meals or an after-school snack, while a window over the sink provides a view of the alfresco area.
Added extras include Daikin ducted air conditioning and an alarm system with a back-to-base option, helping take this property to the next level.
Outside, the property has been well designed to combined low maintenance living with a lush, green landscape and established vegetable gardens, while the concrete inground pool gives the home a resort-style atmosphere sure to be the envy of your friends.
The home is located in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance of the bustling riverside village centre of Morpeth with its collection of cafes, art galleries, boutiques and heritage pubs.
The centrally positioned property is close to local shops, schools and sporting facilities, with the larger retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills shopping centre less than 10 minutes away.
