12 Garlick Street

Set within a peaceful Kariong cul-de-sac, this recently completed as new residence presents a rare opportunity to step straight into a home where everything feels fresh, considered and quietly impressive. Positioned on a completely level block and designed as a flat, single-level home, it offers an ease of living that is becoming increasingly hard to find - effortless, accessible and intuitively comfortable from the very first day. A full north-facing orientation draws natural light deep into the home, enhancing the sense of space created by high ceilings and extra-tall doors. The interiors feel soft and composed, with warm LED lighting, sheer curtains and quality window furnishings adding a layer of quiet sophistication throughout. Extended by an additional 500mm across the rear, the home offers noticeably generous proportions, allowing bedrooms and living spaces to feel open, balanced and unhurried. The kitchen is positioned at the heart of the home, overlooking the open-plan living and dining areas and creating a strong sense of connection to everyday life without sacrificing its own presence. Designed with both form and function in mind, it features a 900mm oven, five burner gas cooktop and a generous walk-in pantry, with additional power points throughout the home supporting modern living with ease. Nearby, the laundry is finished with joinery to match the kitchen, reinforcing a considered and cohesive aesthetic rather than unnecessary embellishment. Living and dining areas connect seamlessly to the alfresco, where a ceiling fan extends comfort into the warmer months and creates an inviting space for relaxed outdoor meals and quiet evenings. A separate media room with stylish dual sliding doors allows this space to be closed off entirely, offering genuine flexibility as a home cinema, office, guest room or private retreat away from the main living areas. Comfort has been carefully considered throughout, with ducted air conditioning, ceiling fans to all bedrooms and the alfresco, and an impressive level of insulation that keeps the home naturally cool in summer. Double glazing, upgraded insulation and thoughtful design choices contribute to a home that feels stable, quiet and energy-efficient all year round. Constructed by McDonald Jones using their patented Supaloc steel frame system, the home offers long term structural confidence, with no concerns around termites and minimal movement over time. This is further supported by a 25 year transferable structural guarantee and the balance of new-home warranties, providing reassurance not only for today but for years ahead. Designed for the future, the home includes a 6.6kW solar system, EV charger, seven-star BASIX rating, roof ventilation, water tank and energy-efficient inclusions that reduce running costs while enhancing everyday comfort. Outside, easy-care lawns and gardens are framed by matching Colorbond fencing on all sides, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance setting complemented by a large parcel mailbox and clean street presentation. An extra large and deep double garage easily accommodates larger vehicles, while additional storage and linen space add further practicality. With ample room out front for a caravan, boat or trailer, the home supports a relaxed, active lifestyle without compromise. Its flat design and level land make it particularly appealing to retirees and families alike. Beyond the home itself, Kariong's natural surroundings add another layer of lifestyle appeal. Renowned for its network of scenic bushwalks and access to nature, the area offers the perfect balance between outdoor escape and everyday convenience. Easy access to both north- and south-bound M1 freeway on-ramps makes commuting effortless, placing Hornsby approximately 35 minutes away and Sydney comfortably within reach, all while enjoying the quiet rhythm of a leafy residential pocket. Light-filled, beautifully finished and thoughtfully designed, this is a home that feels composed and welcoming - a place where comfort, connection and simplicity come together with understated elegance.
