Welcome to Oakhampton Heights, where this stunning family home on 1.26 hectares offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience. Built in 2000 by Valley Homes, this rendered brick beauty with a Colorbond roof stands proudly amidst a serene landscape.

Located in a divine area surrounded by other grand homes, this property offers direct access to the Walka Water Works, a popular picnic and recreation area with a large lake, walking trails, and over 140 species of birdlife. The Hunter River is not far away, and Oakhampton Heights itself enjoys a semi-rural vibe while still being connected to all the conveniences of city living. The boutique cafes and retail outlets of Maitland and Lorn are only a short drive, with the larger Green Hills shopping centre just 15 minutes away. Newcastle city is a short 45 minute drive, and the Hunter Valley's sights and delights are easily accessible within 25 minutes.

As you approach the property, the long, sweeping pebble stone driveway, lined with manicured gardens and classic hedging, sets the tone for what's to come. The expansive green lawn, endless blue skies, and established trees create a picturesque setting. The wrap around verandah, adorned with travertine tiles, invites you to sit back and soak in the serene views.

Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a home that exudes comfort and style. Lovely floorboards flow through the living areas, enhanced by 9ft ceilings, LED downlights, and large windows that bathe each room with light. The general vibe is one of spaciousness and elegance, complemented by Roman blinds.

The living room, located at the front of the house, is a large, inviting space perfect for family gatherings. With a Jetmaster fireplace and windows overlooking the front garden, this room is both warm and welcoming. A dedicated study is on offer, perfect for those working from home, or easily converted into a 6th bedroom or guest accommodation, should you prefer.

The heart of the home lies in the open plan living and dining area, where light streams in through an abundance of windows and sliding doors. The kitchen, only four years old, is a chef's dream. It features shaker style soft close cabinetry, topped with a 40mm Caesarstone benchtop, and a breakfast bar. High-end appliances include a 900mm Westinghouse oven with a five-burner gas cooktop, an integrated Electrolux dishwasher, and a tiled splashback. The dual sink with a mixer tap, plumbing for the fridge, and loads of storage space make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Stunning feature pendant lights add the perfect finishing touch.

The bedroom wing offers privacy and comfort, with a wide hallway and plenty of additional storage. The master suite is a peaceful retreat, with large windows overlooking the rear yard and direct access to the alfresco, a ceiling fan, plus a walk in robe. The ensuite is stylishly appointed with a shower and WC. The four family bedrooms are equally impressive, each featuring large windows, ceiling fans, and new carpet. One bedroom even has direct access to the alfresco, making it ideal for guests or older children.

The family bathroom is generously sized, with a built-in bath, separate shower, and separate WC. Meanwhile, the large laundry offers direct access to the outside, making household chores a breeze.

Outdoor entertaining is a dream with the undercover alfresco area, which features a pitched ceiling, travertine pavers, two ceiling fans, and LED downlights. The 12x4.5 metre saltwater pool, surrounded by travertine pavers, is the perfect spot for summer fun. A covered cabana and a pool slide add to the appeal, creating a resort-like atmosphere right in your backyard.

The yard is lush and green, with irrigated gardens, sandstone retaining walls, and stunning stairs leading up to the pool area. An outdoor fire pit, complete with massive sandstone block seats, is the perfect spot for evening gatherings. The property also boasts two 30,000L water tanks, fully irrigated gardens, and boundary access to the Walka Water Works.

For those who need space for vehicles or hobbies, the garaging and shedding options are impressive. A separate double garage near the house provides plenty of parking, while a massive 10 x 8 m shed with a mezzanine offers additional space. The shed features two extra high roller doors, two smaller ones, Wi-Fi, plumbing, lights, power, and a concreted carport for two additional cars.
