Start your next chapter in this master-built Harry Taylor residence, and begin each day surrounded by pristine rural views in every direction while still enjoying access to Maitland's flourishing CBD and amenities in just 20 minutes.
Nestled along the quiet, tree-lined roads just southeast of Paterson, the rolling vistas of 118 Duns Creek Road provide a true escape from the crowded noise of busy suburbia.
The block's 74 acres provide an abundance of utility, while the fully fenced residential area of the home creates a space for leisurely relaxing where the pets and kids can safely play.
Entry to the home is from the west, where a cosy undercover verandah creates a marvellous space to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets over the horizon at the end of a busy day.
Step inside to find crisp updates throughout the home, including fresh paint and new carpets, with timber-look flooring flowing throughout the entry hall and main living spaces.
Credit to Glen Oak's master builder, Harry Taylor, the floorplan has been thoughtfully designed around a central hall to provide a good amount of separation between the living and resting quarters.
Three bedrooms sit to the right of this hallway, each offering new carpets, built-ins, and stunning views of the surrounding greenery to start every morning off the right way.
The bathroom also sits in this space, where the minimalistic timber and ceramic vanity, oversized shower, and crisp tilework create a space that feels bright and modern.
To the centre of the floorplan lies a traditional country kitchen, complete with an expanse of cabinetry, a two-tier ring of countertops that double as an elevated breakfast bar, and a vibrant, red palette to the tiled splashbacks. This central location allows the creative chef to socialise and create simultaneously, while also filling the living spaces with that calming aroma of homecooked meals.
Both the dining and living spaces receive a wealth of natural light and country views thanks to the eastern and western glass of the windows and sliding doors, while built-in block-out blinds will allow for glare-free entertainment in the late afternoons.
Stepping outside, you'll find an undercover alfresco area that overlooks the lush rear lawn of the fully fenced residential allotment of the block.
Clear views to the east create a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee as the sun peeks over the horizon, and also ensure that there's a cool, shady spot for entertaining on those hot summer afternoons.
There's a wealth of hardy plant life within this surrounding lawn area, as well as an established orchard that will fill the kitchen's menu with a variety of edible species, including lemon, mandarin, plums, oranges, and mulberries; large vegetable gardens; and a walk-in chicken coop.
Other features of this versatile property include a rooftop solar system, a large, four-bay machinery shed, a dedicated hay shed, one open paddock with three dams, and a 29,000L water tank.
The current vendors recall fond memories of family gatherings during the holidays, riding horses out to a large tree near the home for afternoon picnics, and looking skyward to witness Halley's comet and the distant Andromeda Galaxy first-hand.
With such a rare balance between rural comfort and residential convenience, it's not at all surprising that this lovely property has been held in the family for over 70 years, and that the decision to sell has been "quite difficult."
So take that next step that you've been thinking about and longing for, and make 118 Duns Creek Road the place to create some timeless memories of your own.
