Exposed brick meets verdant hardwood in this warm and spacious family duplex in Castle Hill on the border of Cherrybrook and Dural. Spread high across two storeys, the interior makes great use of its three bedroom floorplan, thanks to a decidedly open plan interior design. High ceilings and hardwood flooring frame the open downstairs living and dining areas, adjacent to a spacious and notably well-equipped technical chef's kitchen. Multiple large windows wall each room, radiating natural light into all interior spaces and gleaming off the polished hardwood floors. Each spacious bedroom presents views of Castle Hill, and the elevated master bedroom features ensuite bathroom access and windows to three sides of its orientation – reinforcing the naturally-lit appeal of the home throughout. Outdoors, a landscaped backyard presents a sizeable wraparound decked pergola (ideal for entertaining) that overlooks an above ground fishpond and water feature. Further into the backyard, a level lawn adjoins a leafy orchard, adorned with citrus and spice trees. Surrounded by local shops, amenities and parkland, it's worth mentioning that the block is desirably zoned for the prestigious Cherrybrook Technology High School and Oakhill Drive Public School.
