Private, secluded and lovingly entwined in the leafy semi-rural backdrop of Forest Downs Estate just on the fringes of Taree you will find this magnificently constructed family home. First time offered for sale by the current owners who have poured so much love and hard work into their tranquil 8,030sqm property, where they've spent the last few decades enjoying the peaceful lifestyle that only homes like this can offer. Celebrating a verdantly dappled landscape that attracts over 80 species of birds and native wildlife. Each tree and shrub has been hand planted over the years and now represents such an attractive legacy for the new owner. Sit back in the shade of your timber entertaining deck and gaze over your surrounds, you may even sight the odd kangaroo who pops by to say hello. The solid stone-walled homestead enjoys a tidy brick facade with an iron roof. A sprawling floorplan inside has been designed to maximise family time, with multiple living and meals areas to cater for everyone. The eyes are instantly drawn upward on entry as you soak in the impressive elevated vaulted ceilings, complete with statement exposed timber beams adding that rustic chic vibe. One room flows easily into the other with comfort items such as ceiling fans and reverse cycle air conditioning keeping the home temperate during each season. Each bedroom boasts newly installed plush carpet along with plenty of storage plus a ceiling fan in three. The master suite is appointed close to the modern three way bathroom, making it ensuite-like with its luxurious finish including a walk-in shower and separate bath tub. Central to it all is the kitchen: the gourmet heart of this home. A standalone five burner gas cooker along with stainless steel dishwasher make meal times easy. Enjoy the stylish splashback, timber work and the inclusion of a servery and separate breakfast nook for the morning brekky run before school. The open plan family room positioned right next door allows for mingling during food prep and a relaxed atmosphere for just hanging out with the kids or grandkids. The formal dining space with access through to the timber verandah is the perfect space to share a meal and a laugh around the dinner table.
