Last Listing description (November 2018)
Come home to one of the prettiest houses in this wonderfully peaceful street, tucked away in a hidden corner of Tenambit not far from the attractions of historic Morpeth.
Established formal gardens and a lush expanse of lawn set the tone for this charming brick and tiled home, situated on a generously proportioned 925.1sqm block at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
Built in 1988 and lovingly finished off by the current owners, the two-storey home offers a timeless yet contemporary interior beautifully styled with neutral tones for a wider appeal.
Bamboo floorboards in the downstairs living and formal dining rooms infuse the space with a comfortable warmth, while plush 100 per cent wool Berber carpets in the second-storey rumpus room and bedrooms add a snug sense of cosiness ideal for the more relaxed areas of the home.
The bedrooms are all generously proportioned and include ceiling fans and built-in mirrored door wardrobes, while the master suite has an appealing walk-through wardrobe area with twin built-in sliding door wardrobes. An abundance of linen cupboards also ensure there is plenty of storage space both upstairs and down.
The home is ideal for large families, with multiple living areas inside and out.
An attractive bay window ensures the large front lounge room is a light and airy space, while red cedar venetians and fully-lined blockout curtains allow for added privacy when required.
A beautiful timber staircase leads from the foyer to the second storey of the home, with an oversized rumpus room centrally located near the home s four bedrooms providing a versatile chill out zone for the younger members of the family.
An additional living room next to the kitchen on the lower level ensures the family can gather in a single space while meals are being prepared, with a large glass sliding door providing a seamless flow to the rear covered verandah.
The kitchen was renovated approximately 10 years ago and is a practical and modern space, with rounded-edge Caesarstone benchtops, glossy white cabinetry and a pale green glass splashback that adds a sleek, fresh feel.
The nearby laundry has also been beautifully modernised following a three-year-old renovation, featuring Caesarstone benchtops, built-in underbench and overhead cabinetry, as well as a contemporary undermount stainless steel laundry tub complete with chrome gooseneck mixer tap. This space also contains a separate toilet, giving the property four in total.
This home is perfectly designed for those who love to entertain, with a separate dining room for formal dinner parties or family meals and two covered alfresco areas that can each comfortably accommodate up to 30 seated guests.
Two tiers of gorgeous bush-rock retained gardens provide a lush and colourful backdrop for the verandah that changes with the seasons, while an expansive covered pergola overlooking the pool area provides the ideal spot to cook a barbecue while keeping an eye on the kids in the stunning 8m x 4m in-ground salt water pool.
Outdoor roll down blinds protect both alfresco areas from the weather, while a fully lined 5m x 7.5m brick and Colorbond roof workshop/pool house attached to the pergola enhances the entertaining opportunities, including a handy third bathroom complete with shower, toilet and vanity.
The backyard has been meticulously landscaped with low maintenance and drought tolerant plants that provide year-round colour and texture. A spectacular grass tree, towering lilly pilly and flourishing magnolia stellata provide eye-catching features among the rockeries, while trickling water fountains add to the serenity of the outdoor space. A fully-fenced vegetable garden is located behind the workshop, with five raised garden beds just waiting for you to plant your favourite crops.
