72 Fennell Crescent, Blackalls Park.

Delivering sophisticated polish within a house that feels like a home, this gorgeous property is perfect for families yearning to escape to a semi-rural setting, while keeping all the essentials close at hand. Sprawling over half an acre, it offers an abundance of space for kids to run around on and perhaps keep a few chickens or goats, plus there is direct lake access via the creek running along the far edge of the property. As for the house itself, this has been renovated top-to-toe by the current owners. Airy, open and utterly inviting, the layout has been designed with family living in mind. At the heart of it all is the showpiece kitchen, around which flows a wealth of living space. From here, stacker doors connect indoors to out, enhancing its seamless flow to the entertainers' alfresco. While all five bedrooms are impressively generous, the master is a particular highlight, showcasing a luxe ensuite, walk-in and access to the alfresco. As if that weren't enough, the oversized garage workshop is all set to cater to tradies and hobbyists, complete with mezzanine storage and dual high-clearance roller doors. With its premium finishes, modern appointments and thoughtful design, everything is in place here for you to simply move in and enjoy. And while it may be a struggle for you to leave your own private piece of paradise, it's nice to know that all of Toronto's shops, dining and services are only three minutes away when you need them. - Expansive semi-rural half acre in peaceful position, bordered by Mudd Creek at the rear - Extensively renovated to reveal a reconfigured, extended layout where family living is the focus - Pretty front porch creates a warm welcome and sets the tone for what awaits within - Polished hardwood floors, abundant natural light and refined neutrals accentuate effortless sense of space within flow-through open-plan - Stunning kitchen flaunts stone benches, quality appliances and plentiful storage, centred by a waterfall island breakfast bar lit by pendant lighting - Seamless flow to beautiful merbau deck, further enhancing family living while catering to relaxed entertaining - Stacker doors also connect master to alfresco, which impresses further with walk-in robes and a pristine ensuite with dual vanity, walk-in shower and enclosed WC - Four further bedrooms deliver generous, airy sleep space, with the flexi fifth bedroom creating flexibility to function as a media room - Elegantly appointed bathroom shows off luxe tub, frameless glass shower and separate WC - Additional features inc. semi-enclosed study, laundry with yard access, solar hot water - Air-conditioning keeps things comfortable, assisted by wood fireplace in living room - Huge freestanding shed functions as double garage with workshop space, complete with mezzanine storage, power and dual high-clearance doors - Gated side driveway access to backyard provides further off-street parking - Expansive grassy yard is perfect for kids at play - Creek at back of property can be accessed via boat ramp (feat. solar-powered winch) - Boat or kayak along the creek to explore the rest of Lake Macquarie - Just 1km to Toronto's supermarkets, shops, dining options and amenities - Within easy reach of public schools and Charlton Christian College - Short drive to Fassifern Station for direct train access to Newcastle and Sydney
