40 Rosebank Drive

Wallalong NSW 2320

You'll wake up to the sound of birdsong and enjoy spotting native wildlife amongst the bushland surrounds as you immerse yourself in this peaceful rural retreat while still being just a short drive away from all the amenities you need.

The property is just 15 minutes from the heart of Maitland's city centre and 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.

Wallalong's central location also makes it an easy destination when you want to invite friends over, with this owner-built home's spacious proportions and family-friendly layout making it perfect for those who love to entertain.

Built in 2003 and immaculately maintained, the home features an abundance of living spaces to accommodate every member of the family and their guests, with a vast front room designed to create formal living and dining zones or adjacent sitting areas, while separate doors provide access to the adjoining kitchen and casual meals space, as well as the side verandah.

An exposed brick feature wall, detailed cornices and pendant light fittings give this space a rustic yet elegant ambience, complemented by the large windows that let in plenty of natural sunlight to give the room's cream colour palette a rich, warm glow.

The neutral colour choices continue through to the kitchen, where they are enhanced by the golden warmth and natural textures of the timber cabinetry.

Shaker-profile doors and glass-fronted display cabinets lend a traditional country ambience to the kitchen, while the sleek 30mm speckled stone benchtops give it a more contemporary finish.

Quality stainless steel appliances, track lighting and downlights add to the modern look, while an extensive breakfast bar around the central island bench provides additional seating options opposite the lovely dining area.

A wood-burning fireplace in the open plan living space is a must in any country residence, giving it a cosy, homely feel that will draw families together, especially in winter, while a large separate media or games room that can be closed off from the rest of the house or opened out to the adjoining covered outdoor entertaining area adds to the home's family-friendly lifestyle.

Four generously-proportioned bedrooms are located in a separate wing away from the central living areas, beautifully finished with cosy carpet, combination ceiling fans with light fittings and built-in wardrobes.

A large walk-in wardrobe in the master suite doubles as a dressing room with walk-through access to the lovely ensuite, while a three-way main bathroom design is ideal for functional family living.

A third toilet off the large laundry adds to this home's practical floorplan, while a dedicated office off the main entry would provide the ideal space for client-facing work or be perfect as a fifth bedroom for large families.

Zoned, ducted air conditioning, nine-foot ceilings and crisp white plantation shutters provide the sophisticated finishing touches throughout the interior, while the home's appeal continues outside, where shady verandahs run along the front and back of the home as well as wrapping around one side.

A huge alfresco area constructed at the rear in 2012 provides a private, all-weather entertaining space surrounded by aluminium privacy screens, while a nearby paved firepit is perfect for winter get-togethers.

A four-bay Colorbond shed and single carport, in addition to the home's attached double garage, provide all the space you need for your family vehicles, boat, horse float, caravan or trailer, as well as storage for the ride-on mower, tools and other outdoor equipment.
