Behind the classic red brick facade, typical of homes in blue-chip Hamilton East, this family sanctuary flaunts a contemporary four-bedroom, three-bathroom floorplan over two versatile levels.

Built circa 2008 it has been flawlessly finished and offers a choice of oversized living spaces, both indoors and out.

The centrepiece is the open plan kitchen and living space with a large island bench, servery window and effortless transition to an alfresco entertaining area complete with built-in barbecue.

The home at 11 Silsoe Street, where homes rarely trade, enjoys a corner position on almost 700 square metres of land with frontage also to Corona Street.

It has a freestanding double garage, a solar-heated swimming pool and level grassed area. All bedrooms are generous in size. There are high ceilings, timber flooring and an upstairs retreat or rumpus.

It is being marketed by Chasse Ede, Mark Kentwell and Natalie Tonks, of PRD Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.

It is set for an online auction on April 29. Inspections are by appointment.
