Last Listing description (February 2018)
Designed to echo the best style elements of the classic Queenslander, this beautiful home also offers the latest modern comforts. Located just off the Old Pacific Highway, up the road from the Bellinger River and Raleigh Winery, the property enjoys beautiful sweeping northern valley views from the open plan living area, kitchen and side alfresco deck.
Positioned high on the site to accommodate a design on one level, there's plenty of room on the side of the block to park your caravan, boat or trailer beside the panel lift double lock up garage.
Classic white Weathertex panels with charcoal grey accents creates a smart repeating colour palette that flows inside and out, creating symmetry with styling and a neutral platform for your home wares and furnishings. About two years old, the sprawling home was built by Mark O'Brien for a local family with a passion for classic Queenslanders.
Low maintenance plantings out the front and a wrap around timber deck contribute to the significant street presence of the home - invite friends over for a barbecue or cheese and biscuits and enjoy from the outdoor room, complete with timber deck, down lights and even stainless steel fans.
Inside, chic and contemporary tiles with a matt grey base have been used throughout the living area, kitchen and also down the hall. A white swirling pattern is both a visual feature along with being easier to maintain for family living than the glossy single block colour variety. A white stacker sliding door with three panels connects the alfresco entertaining deck to the living room, and this flows through to the square shaped kitchen which also has crisp modern styling.
Features here include the rolled bench top, a cupboard which opens out from the front bench (perfect for your wine glasses) and stainless steel appliances - including the dishwasher, wall oven and sizeable range hood. A bank of wide charcoal coloured drawers below the ceramic cook top is the perfect place to store your pots and pans, and the double sink has been perfectly positioned to enjoy those lovely valley views. To cap things off there's a good size walk in pantry with oodles of storage room.
All four bedrooms flow off a long hallway, each has a fan, two have built in robes and both the first bedroom off the hall and the master have walk-in-robes. Glass mosaic panels offer interesting detail in both the crisp white bathrooms (as well as the kitchen), and there's external stairs leading to a clothes line at the rear.
Of note here is the fact the home has excellent ventilation all the way underneath, with lots of room for storage. The rear yard is sloping, but suitable for the family dog and the kids to get some exercise, and there's room to consider putting a couple of level tiers into the block (there has to be something for the new owner to do!)
Despite the fact that it's over two years old this property still has that 'new home' smell and presents beautifully and the position and size of the house would well suit families, those who want the country lifestyle (and views) without the work of maintaining a big property, and those who have lived on acreage and now want to downsize without compromising their peaceful way of life. A Bio Cycle septic system is another bonus as is the fact that the home is still covered by Builder's Warranty.
With no traffic lights between Raleigh and the Boambee East/Sawtell areas, it's easy to hop on the highway and be there in about 12 minutes. The township of Urunga, with its lovely boardwalk out over the water, restaurants, pub and cafes is even closer or you can duck straight along the Waterfall Way to Bellingen.
Near new homes on blocks this size are hard to come by, this is definitely one to bookmark.
