4 Rosebank Drive

Wallalong NSW 2320

The home sits on a cleared parcel towards the front of the expansive property, with an agapanthus-lined gravel driveway with two entry points leading down to the commanding country homestead.

The home was built by Clarendon in around 1987 and features a ranch-style layout, with a wide sweeping frontage, triple garage and covered front verandah for that classic country charm.

Bay windows add character to the traditional brick and tile roof architecture, while the earthy tones of the construction allow it to sit seamlessly within the surrounding bush landscape.

Inside the home has a spacious, family-friendly layout with great separation between the living areas and the bedroom wing, and a multitude of spaces where members of the family can come together to connect or take some time out to relax.

A spacious study off the entry foyer is ideal for work from home commitments, with a wall opening that could be adapted to accommodate internal shutters to create a more private office space.

A large living room is located on the opposite side of the foyer, with beautiful bay windows flooding the area with natural light while plush carpet creates a cosy feel with added comfort underfoot.

Floor-to-ceiling bay windows have also been used to great effect in the other living zones including an expansive family room and light and bright dining room, which both offer fantastic views of the huge covered alfresco area and resort-style pool yard through to the tranquil bushland beyond.

A slow combustion wood-fired heater in the family room injects the cosy traditional charm you'd expect from a rural homestead, while ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout will provide year round climate control.

French pattern polished travertine tiles create a seamless flow through the living space to the gourmet kitchen and the dining room, where a coffered ceiling provides another point of interest, while the fully renovated kitchen will be any chef's delight with its Belling 900mm Richmond Deluxe dual fuel range cooker, black ducted rangehood and Bosch dishwasher.

The kitchen has a contemporary country look with its classic black, white and cream colour scheme including 40mm white stone return benchtops and breakfast bar, and a black subway tiled splashback, while the large window over the sink and its central positioning between the two living zones make it a lovely inviting space.

The shelving and stone benchtop are a practical touch in the butler's pantry, while sleek white cabinetry with pot drawers add to the ample storage space.

Storage is something this home has in abundance, with a four-door linen cupboard in the hallway, built-in benchtop and ventilated shelving system in the laundry, additional linen cupboard and large vanity in the practical three-way family bathroom and built-in wardrobes in the good-sized bedrooms.

The generously-proportioned master suite has the benefit of a large walk-in wardrobe, beautiful bay window for plenty of natural light, external roller blind perfect for shift workers needing darkness during daylight, and a luxuriously updated ensuite with modern handleless vanity with moulded glass top, a frameless glass shower recess with glass shelving, floor-to-ceiling wall tiles and gorgeous feature floor tiling.

Outside, the property offers a host of lifestyle features sure to appeal to the whole family, including a Compass self-cleaning saltwater pool with mosaic tiled fountain feature, travertine tiled surrounds, commercial grade shade sail, and timber bench seat located in a large pool yard.

A Colorbond garden shed with a side awning for wood storage and a small water tank add to the external features for gardening purposes, the property itself has the convenience of being connected to town water, while a 8.27kW solar system with 27 panels ensure the home is economical to run.

Ideally located in the tranquil rural surrounds of Wallalong, the property feels a world away from suburbia yet it is just 15 minutes from the large urban centres of Maitland and Raymond Terrace with their convenient mix of retail, commercial, educational and business presincts precincts, while the New Maitland Hospital and the retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills shopping centre is also a short drive away.

The property is also less than 10 minutes from the heritage charm of Morpeth, while the neighbouring suburb of Hinton offers a friendly community with a lovely primary school and popular riverside pub.
