The Snapshot
Sun, shade, swim, repeat - the backyard here is set up to make everyday life feel a little more like a holiday. A covered alfresco creates the perfect zone for long lunches, parties, or a quiet cuppa while keeping an eye on the sparkling pool, complete with spa jets. Inside, the open-plan living area flows straight out to this space, so entertaining feels effortless and family life stays connected. Add low-maintenance surrounds and modern finishes throughout, plus exciting potential for additional bedrooms or living zones, and you've got a home that's ready to enjoy from day one.

The Home
Set on a generous 633sqm block and built in 2021, this home delivers that winning combination of modern, low-fuss living, a pool for weekend joy, and a seriously impressive garage that opens up all kinds of possibilities.

Step inside and you're greeted by a wide entry with tiled floors and a striking timber front door with frosted windows. Throughout the home, 9ft ceilings, tiled living zones, and ducted Daikin air-conditioning keep everything feeling light, breezy, and comfortable.

The floorplan is designed for real life - with multiple living areas so everyone can spread out (or come together). The separate media room is cosy and practical with plantation shutters and perfect for movie nights or a quiet retreat. At the heart, the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge zone is made for connection, with a TV wall niche, sliding doors to the alfresco, and a kitchen that's equal parts stylish and hardworking. Think Caesarstone benchtops, breakfast bar seating, a walk-in pantry, recessed spaces for the fridge and microwave, brand new pendant lighting, and quality Inalto appliances, including a 5-burner gas cooktop, 900mm oven, and dishwasher.

The master suite is privately positioned with plantation shutters, a walk-in robe, and a sleek ensuite featuring a double vanity, stone benchtop, and black tapware. Bedrooms two and three include built-in robes and soft carpet underfoot, while the main bathroom brings the same modern look - a built-in bath, stone-top vanity, and black-framed shower.

Outside is where the fun starts: a covered alfresco overlooking the fibreglass pool with spa jets (and phone connectivity to the pump). There's also a water tank, outdoor lighting, insect screens, and a classic Hills Hoist - because some traditions deserve to stay.

And then, the garage where the real versatility lies. Currently configured as an extra-large, internally accessible space with downlights, power points, remote door and room for multiple vehicles plus storage, it offers far more than parking. Council has pre-approved work zones and rooms to be reinstated within this footprint (subject to maintaining two car spaces), creating the opportunity to convert the space into additional bedrooms, a media room, home office or separate living areas.

For buyers searching for a four or even five-bedroom home, this flexibility is a genuine advantage allowing the layout to be tailored to suit evolving family needs while still retaining secure parking.

Conveniently located close to Thornton Shopping Village, with easy access to Maitland Hospital, Stockland Green Hills, and major routes to Newcastle and the airport, this is a home that supports busy weeks and rewards you on weekends.
