This beautiful family home, situated on 1.27 acres of landscaped grounds, has recently come onto the local property market. 

When you first walk through the gate of 17 Claremont Drive, you are met with a pristine, established garden.

The front porch is sheltered from the harsh summer sun by groomed shrubbery and offers a wonderful view of the surrounding land.

When you step inside the house, you enter a bright hallway with charming slate flooring.

Off the hallway is the formal lounge room.

One of the most attractive features of this room is the two generous window seats that overlook the expansive front garden.

It’s the perfect place to curl up with a good book or to sit with your laptop to catch up on work or relax.

This area connects to the heart of the home – the open planning living area. 

The current owners have lived at 17 Claremont Drive for the past 11 years and in that time they upgraded this space by way of an extension.

It has provided more than enough space for living and dining, and the kitchen area is a fantastic and elegant feature.

The country style cupboards and drawers with Caesar bench tops are a standout, complimented by the modern-look appliances.

Next to the kitchen is a large walk-in pantry that has a wealth of storage and is big enough to house a second fridge or freezer for the larger family or those who are frequent entertainers.

The open plan living opens out onto a covered pergola, offering even more opportunities to entertain.

It is accompanied by a fenced in-ground pool and water feature.

From the pergola and pool you are able to see the true length and breadth of this property.

The garden is well established but easy to maintain, and will be the perfect place for kids and pets to run around. 

Back inside, the family can continue to expand with five good-sized bedrooms.

Each comes with its own built-in wardrobe, and the master bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite.

The master bedroom also overlooks the pool and is filled with natural light, making it an ideal retreat for parents.

In addition to these wonderful features, 17 Claremont Drive boasts four covered car spaces, ducted heating and cooling and a large main bathroom with plenty of storage space.

Bathurst Real Estate principal and director Mick Whittaker called this home “a resort” and believes it to be a rare find on the local property market. 

“These sized blocks are certainly rare at this point in time and to be established as well is a great thing,” he said.

This property is available for inspection now and has been listed with Bathurst Real Estate, Raine and Horne and LJ Hooker.
