Split-Level Family Home with Huge 58m² Bonus Space in Walk-to-Everything Old Valentine
Thoughtfully renovated throughout, this warm and welcoming split-level home blends timeless character with contemporary comfort. Positioned within tightly held Old Valentine, it offers exceptional flexibility, generous living spaces and one of Lake Macquarie's most walkable lifestyles. Offering approximately 254m² of internal living space, including a substantial 58m² bonus space, the home provides the flexibility to adapt to changing family needs, home-based work or multi-generational living. The thoughtfully designed split-level layout is connected by two gentle half-flight staircases, creating excellent separation between living areas without the long flights of stairs often associated with multi-level homes. Raked ceilings with exposed timber beams, sage green panelling and quality finishes create a relaxed, inviting atmosphere, while four energy-efficient split-system air conditioners and FTTP NBN provide year-round comfort and connectivity. The designer kitchen features full-height cabinetry, stone benchtops, brass tapware, dishwasher, generous drawer storage and a dedicated appliance hub. A covered north-west-facing balcony captures afternoon sunshine, winter sunsets and glimpses of Lake Macquarie. Huge 58m² Bonus Space One of the home's standout features is its substantial 58m² multipurpose space on the lower level. With its own private external entry, split-system air conditioning and FTTP NBN, it offers exceptional flexibility as a professional home office, consulting space, creative studio, gym, media room, teenage retreat, games room or additional living area. Positioned beneath a suspended concrete floor and separated from the main residence by a solid-core door, it also provides impressive acoustic separation, making it ideal for working from home, running a home business or creating a completely separate living zone. Bedrooms & Bathrooms The master suite enjoys elevated lake and treetop views, a walk-in robe and luxury ensuite. Two additional bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, while a versatile fourth bedroom adjoining the dining area is equally suited as a nursery, study, guest bedroom or home office. Three bathrooms, a large linen cupboard and laundry chute add everyday practicality for busy households. Outdoor Living A large, level, fully fenced front yard provides valuable outdoor space for children, pets and relaxed outdoor living, with excellent visibility from the main living areas. Lawn maintenance is included, allowing you more time on weekends to simply enjoy the space.
