47 Andrew Rd, Valentine NSW 2280

A sweeping outlook toward the lake is the constant here. It slips into view from almost every angle, catching the eye from the living spaces, kitchen and deck, and shifting beautifully with the seasons. Designed to make the most of its position high above the suburb and immersed within the surrounding gardens, the home keeps its focus firmly on the scenery, with soft green edges bringing a layer of daily enjoyment.

Blackbutt timber floors run through an open-plan upper level where living, dining and cooking unfold with the skylit kitchen arranged for daily use, with excellent storage, an appliance cupboard, wall oven, dishwasher and a broad island anchoring the space. A second living zone downstairs offers flexibility as a family room, retreat or workspace – and is complemented by three bedrooms – each with outdoor access - including an oversized main with mirrored robes and an ensuite. Thoughtful practicalities are woven throughout, from abundant storage and a powered workshop to solar hot water, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a rainwater tank, internal laundry and an oversized single garage. Outside, the timber deck provides a front-row seat to the view and will delight your guests when entertaining or provide a picture-perfect setting for family meals and relaxation.

Part of tightly held Old Valentine, this address sits within one of Lake Macquarie's most established waterfront communities. The village shopping strip, waterfront bowling club, well-regarded public school and foreshore are all woven into daily life, creating a neighbourhood that is connected without being busy. Belmont's retail and dining precinct is around 4km away, while Warners Bay's café scene, boutique shops and lakeside walking paths can be reached in under 10 mins.
