There’s an old fashioned easy comfort about this spacious five-bedroom house in a quiet enclave of Newport.
Its warm and inviting 1011-square-metre block is complemented by generously landscaped gardens with lush pittosporum, palms and yukkas in the front and rear yards.
The meticulously maintained quality-built house is tailored to accommodate family living and entertainment.
Upon entry into a small foyer there is a generous family room with built-in bar.
Natural light floods the room through large windows along the front wall and the adjoining meals area gets plenty of afternoon sun.
The main bedroom, to the right of entry, includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, customised pelmets adding character and a ceiling fan.
Down the hallway there are two more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and garden views.
There are another two bedrooms towards the rear, also with built-ins. They are serviced by the larger main bedroom with a low-set bath with entry step, separate shower and a sliding door which opens to a private courtyard, a very practical little nook to use as a drying terrace.
The expansive living hub, in the heart of the house, is anchored by ceramic floor tiles and centred on a long narrow island bench with a breakfast bar to fit the entire tribe in the mornings.
The cosy kitchen has plenty of storage in white timber cabinetry, laminate benchtops, a dishwasher, dual wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood and a generous walk-in pantry.
The family-meals area opens through sliding double doors to a huge decked, skylit pergola area which provides seamless indoor/outdoor dining and entertainment.
Out the back there are a mixture of grass and paved areas for the kids to play, surrounded by established gardens and enough space to install the in-ground swimming pool of your dreams.
This property’s location puts the golf course, swimming pool and gymnasium, schools and shops all within easy reach.
