Last Listing description (September 2026)

A stunning brand-new two-bedroom villa that combines modern style, thoughtful design and effortless single-level living, this exceptional home is sure to impress. From its distinctive and unique facade to its beautifully finished interiors, every element has been carefully considered to create a home that is both practical and inviting.

Quiet, contemporary and wonderfully low maintenance, this villa-style residence offers an ideal alternative to traditional townhouse or apartment living. With no stairs and a smart, functional layout, it is perfectly suited to first-home buyers, downsizers, couples, investors or anyone looking for a stylish home without the upkeep.

Stepping inside, you are immediately welcomed by a fresh and calming coastal-inspired palette, with soft greys, crisp whites and warm neutral tones creating a light and relaxing atmosphere throughout. The open-plan living and dining area provides an effortless central hub for everyday living, while large windows allow natural light to fill the space and create a wonderful sense of openness.

At the heart of the home is a sleek, contemporary kitchen designed with both style and functionality in mind. Offering generous bench space, ample cabinetry, an under-bench oven and dishwasher, it provides everything needed for easy everyday cooking while remaining perfectly positioned to stay connected with family and guests. Whether preparing a quiet dinner or entertaining friends, the kitchen seamlessly connects with the living and dining areas.

Flowing outdoors, the home opens to a private, sun-drenched courtyard, creating an extension of the living space and a wonderful setting for relaxed outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunshine, weekend brunches with friends or an evening glass of wine while taking advantage of your own private outdoor retreat.

Adding to the appeal is the villa's unique position within the complex. Sharing only one common wall with a neighbouring property, the home enjoys an enhanced level of privacy and a more house-like feel than many villa or townhouse alternatives. This clever positioning creates a sense of independence while still offering the convenience and low-maintenance lifestyle of complex living.

Practicality has not been overlooked, with a range of features designed to make everyday life comfortable and convenient. Ducted air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort, while the full-size internal laundry provides excellent functionality. The single lock-up garage with internal access makes coming and going effortless, particularly on busy days or when carrying groceries straight into the home.

Situated just minutes from Waratah Village (with Coles, Kmart, and more), this location offers everyday convenience in a quiet, community-focused setting. Families will appreciate the proximity to local schools, while professionals and students are just a short 5-minute drive from the University of Newcastle and Mater Hospital. Investors will love the rapid growth of Waratah plus being a short walk to Waratah train station. Newcastle CBD and its beautiful beaches are only a short drive away, easily reached after a stop for coffee on Beaumont Street.
