Built by McDonald Jones in 2007, this brick and tile masterpiece boasts chic lines and impeccable street appeal. Established gardens and lush green grass invite you into a home that is both grand and welcoming.

Thornton's ideal location puts you just 35 minutes from Newcastle's city and beaches, 15 minutes from Maitland's heritage CBD, and only 30 minutes from the gourmet delights of the Hunter Valley vineyards. This central positioning means you're never far from the best the region has to offer.

Step inside, and you're greeted by a wide entryway with recessed ceilings and feature downlights. Gleaming hardwood timber floors run throughout, with a recessed wall at the entry perfect for showcasing artwork. The spacious layout flows seamlessly into the family areas, making it a perfect home for both relaxation and entertaining.

The master retreat features plush carpet, a ceiling fan with light, downlights, and a walk-in robe. The grand louvred doors lead to a massive ensuite, complete with a twin vanity, a built-in bath, dual shower heads, and floor to ceiling tiles. The roller blind window ensures privacy without compromising on style. 

In the family bedroom wing, you'll find three more generously sized bedrooms, all carpeted and fitted with ceiling fans, built-in robes, and plantation shutters, with a rumpus room at the centre for added space and versatility. The family bathroom nearby includes a shower, built-in bath, and vanity.

The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area, where you'll find matte black ceiling fans, a freestanding Regency gas fireplace, and two sets of glass sliding doors that open to the stunning indoor/outdoor entertaining area.

The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring 20mm Caesarstone benchtops, a Westinghouse 900mm oven with a five-burner electric cooktop, and premium matte black hardware. A double Franke sink with a mixer tap, frosted glass overhead cabinetry, and a large pantry complete this beautiful space.

A multipurpose room is filled with natural light, making it perfect for a home office or games room. Meanwhile, the media room offers the ultimate retreat for movie nights, with plush carpet, blackout walls, recessed ceiling, and five Jamo wall-mounted speakers creating the perfect cinematic atmosphere.

When it's time to entertain, the indoor/outdoor entertaining room will impress with its floating floorboards, Bali-style ceiling fans, black aluminium plantation shutters, and ceiling-mounted speakers. With power points, a gas bayonet, and two sets of glass sliding doors leading to the expansive backyard, it's a space that's perfect for any gathering. 

The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a large undercover area complete with timber decking, glass louvre windows, matte black ceiling fans, and outdoor power points. This space also has pull-down blinds for added privacy and comfort. Located within the pool yard, this additional entertainment area overlooks the sparkling inground fibreglass pool.

Beyond the pool, the fully landscaped yard offers plenty of space for kids and pets. The northwest facing aspect ensures sun-filled afternoons, while the 5000L water tank helps keep everything green and thriving.

The home also boasts dual side access, with one side offering double aluminium gates and an extra gate for easy access. The left side features an additional shed with a roller door, along with an attached double carport. The extra-wide driveway leads to the triple garage with internal access, providing ample storage and parking options.
