Overview

Situated in a secluded and tranquil pocket of Kotara, this dual-level brick and tile residence provides a serene lifestyle embraced by surrounding greenery and the natural sounds of nearby Blackbutt Reserve. The home offers privacy and a peaceful environment while being conveniently positioned within easy reach of Newcastle CBD and the Lake Macquarie foreshore.

The property rests on a generous 588sqm block with a private swimming pool and freshly updated interiors, including new carpet and recent paintwork, making it comfortably move-in ready. The well-planned layout distinctly separates living areas with a bright lounge flowing into an open dining and timber kitchen space equipped with air conditioning and electric cooking, catering to everyday family functions.

Beyond the main living spaces, the accommodation is enhanced by four bedrooms designed for versatile use. Three upstairs bedrooms are served by a renovated bathroom boasting both bath and shower facilities alongside a separate WC, providing convenience for family members. The lower level introduces an expansive rumpus room coupled with a fourth bedroom featuring an ensuite, ideal as a parents’ retreat, guest quarters, or a dedicated teen zone, adding flexibility to suit diverse household needs.

The elevated rear balcony captures morning sunlight and leafy views, while a sheltered front patio offers outlooks towards the pool, supporting leisurely outdoor enjoyment. Additional functional features include an internally accessed double garage with two automatic doors, complementing the practical day-to-day living experience.

This property appeals to families and those seeking a peaceful home surrounded by nature without compromising accessibility to essential amenities. Close proximity to local schools within catchment zones, shopping centers such as Westfield Kotara and Charlestown Square, and healthcare facilities like John Hunter Hospital further enhance its appeal.
