A Dream Realised First impressions certainly count as you enter, where visitors are met by an oversized timber door which opens to transport you from the everyday to a life of sophistication blended skilfully with easy elegance. Relaxed and low-key, it feels exceptional thanks to considered details and beautiful materials and finishes.

Emphasising the home’s connection to the outdoors was one of the most important considerations of a recent complete renovation and the craftsmanship throughout is just superb.

Awash with natural light, an outlook of green vistas is an instant mood booster as you enter. A hub for busy families, the fully integrated kitchen is effortlessly elegant thanks to the classic profile and soft oak finish cabinetry.

With everything else delicate, the timeless marble in the kitchen is like a jewel box sitting in the middle of the house; it sort of sparkles. Juxtaposed against the sleek accents, an opening skylight provides an arc of natural light straight onto the stone breakfast bar as if to start each day under sunbeam from heaven. No opportunity for storage was wasted and a vast butler’s pantry automatically lights to greet you as you enter.
Expanses of glass draw daylight and the glorious landscape into the living room, it’s the place to embrace the joy of creating a wonderland for the people you love, with soul-filling spaces, food with heart and time spent together by the gas, wood-look fire. In contrast to the living room, a secluded media room adjacent provides a cocooning effect with dark moody walls and light blocking shutters.
The vaulted ceiling of the main bedroom suite really makes this room feel like a retreat and the ensuite is a clean-lined, minimalist zone that brims with natural light and space. The sound trickling water makes from the waterfall of the nearby pool permeates the ensuite to complete the feel of a trip to a luxury day spa in a far-off holiday spot.
Not to be out done, the main bathroom is a far cry from your typical wet zone, it enjoys the feel of a luxury eco resort, courtesy of its reliance on marble and natural textures.

If winter is all about the fireplace, then summer is all about the pool which flows seamlessly from the internal kitchen, dining and living spaces. Long summer days are spent here dining alfresco, or catching up with neighbours for drinks.

Tucked away in the corner of the garden, the family’s beloved orchid and veggie patch produces everything from citrus and stone fruit to rambling watermelons and fragrant thyme. The soothing clucking of chickens chatting follows you around the garden as they meander across the vast lawn.
There’s room to bring all the toys when you move in with 10 bays of garage and a further 2 of carport. Most of the garage doors are automatic and oversized to provide for tall vehicles and a turning circle in the driveway makes manoeuvring them a breeze.

A colossal 75 panels of solar, power the house and three inverters keep it running and three water tanks collect from the shed roof combine to provide 42,000L of water storage.
It’s hard to believe you are only 10 minutes from Maitland city and the access to the Hunter Expressway and onto Sydney, Newcastle or The Valley is a mere 5-minute drive when you live in a paradise surrounded by open farmland. Turn left at Buchanan Road and you are seconds from Stockland Greenhills or Hunter Valley Grammar School.

A clever redesign of this original Waterford Estate home has resulted in a dynamic and modern sanctuary that has a sense of space with the outdoors at its heart. The home seems to have created a new interior style, not particularly ‘of the moment’ instead has a lovely classic feel that you’ll love coming home for decades to come.
