3 Melinda Ave, Elermore Vale NSW 2287

Guaranteed to exceed expectations, this family sanctuary is a sublime buying opportunity for the lifestyle buyer. Spanning one free-flowing level and boasting many modern upgrades - including a statement kitchen - it's tailor-made for entertaining with a wide and covered alfresco deck adjoining a lagoon-inspired inground pool. You'll be inviting friends over and firing up the BBQ at every opportunity.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms rest along one wing of the home, keeping an open plan family/dining zone, a formal living room, and a quality study separate from sleep areas. The kitchen is a triumph with its glossy island bench, statement pendant lights, gleaming appliances, and large walk-in pantry. Upping the ante, stacker doors open wide to create a seamless space between the kitchen and outdoor living – it's been brilliantly designed and takes alfresco dining up a level.

Moments from Elermore Vale Public School and Elermore Vale Shopping Centre, all the essentials are close at hand. Stockland Glendale is also just up the road, as is Cardiff, where you can catch a direct train service to Newcastle and Sydney. Should you want to drive into Newcastle to check out its world-class beaches, incredible dining and fantastic small bar scene, it's an easy 20-minute drive away.
