11 Appletree Rd, West Wallsend NSW 2286

Promising the luxury of space, this finely crafted home is a magnificent reinvention of a Federation classic given a 21st century facelift and extension while staying true to its origins. Channeling character and comfort, this family-sized retreat with dream pool is one of the most exciting homes to be presented this year.

Showcasing an impressive selection of entertaining spaces, the hub of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining space and family room with connection to the great outdoors, where established gardens, a greenhouse, the inground pool and an alfresco cabana are perfectly suited to the consummate host. Back inside, five bedrooms are set over a split level, and all are large in scale. A charming lounge with fireplace plus a separate sitting room offer private escapes from open plan living. Increasing flexibility, a plumbed home salon with internal and external French doors could be configured in any number of ways – from use as a home office to a business base to another bedroom or living room. Serviced by two bathrooms including a master ensuite and main with claw-foot bath, 11 Appletree Road, West Wallsend is a real head-turner.

Positioned on a wide street within a suburb where you still see children riding their bikes around after school, West Wallsend delivers a superb family lifestyle. Not only will you have quick access to childcare, primary and high schools, you'll also be surrounded by state forest and reserves, ideal for weekend exploration. Cameron Park's uber-modern shopping complex and happening Irish Pub are also within easy reach, just 2.5km from your gorgeous new home.
