40 Lurnea Crescent, VALENTINE

Rarely does a property offer genuine flexibility for so many different ways of living. Positioned in the tightly held Old Valentine precinct, this beautifully renovated tri-level residence delivers glimpses of Lake Macquarie and Mt Sugarloaf, exceptional acoustic privacy, and a walk-to-everything convenience increasingly hard to find on the lake. Originally designed as a standout architectural home of its era, it has been carefully renovated to introduce modern comfort while retaining its distinctive character — approximately 254 m² of internal living across three intelligently separated split levels, designed to adapt to your life. At approximately 58 m² — comparable in size to a granny flat footprint — the lower level is the kind of bonus space that redefines how you use a home. Defying every expectation of what a lower level could be, it is genuinely sun-drenched, naturally ventilated and beautifully appointed. The north-west aspect floods the space with warm afternoon light, while the concrete construction and solid core door deliver exceptional acoustic separation from the main residence — light, bright and genuinely private. Comprising a generous main retreat room (4.6 × 7 m), a separate multipurpose room (4.4 × 3.8 m) and large storeroom — with its own private external front entry, dedicated split-system air conditioning and ultra high-speed FTTP NBN — this space adapts completely to your needs. WHO IT WORKS FOR: The home-based professional: Acoustically private, NBN-connected and moments from Valentine village — exceptional value for therapists, consultants, creatives or beauty professionals currently paying separate home and commercial rent. The growing or multi-generational family: A dedicated children's retreat, teenage sanctuary or separate space for an adult family member — private entry, independent climate control and acoustic separation make this an exceptional solution for modern family living. The flexible work-from-home household: Whether you need a proper home office, a creative studio or a zone that's genuinely separate from family life — this space lets you work at full capacity without compromise. Note: Lower-level rooms are presented as flexible bonus spaces and should not be relied upon as bedrooms THE MAIN RESIDENCE: Three half-levels connected by gentle transitions — privacy and separation without steep stairways, each level with its own purpose and its own peace. Raked ceilings with exposed timber beams, crystal chandeliers and sage green board panelling give the home a warmth that renovation alone can't manufacture. The kitchen is fully reimagined with full-height white cabinetry, brass tapware, stone benchtops and dishwasher. Four split-system air conditioners provide climate control across the main lounge, master bedroom, dining-level guest room and lower level retreat — comfortable year round. The deep north-west-facing 7.7 m balcony is made for late afternoons — lake glimpses catching the last of the light, Mt Sugarloaf and rolling blue hills framed between the rooftops. Winter sunsets here are quietly spectacular. Ultra high-speed FTTP NBN to the property means easy streaming, zoom calls and kids gaming without any stalls or dropouts. The oversized single garage includes a dedicated EV charging point and abundant storage, with additional off-street parking directly in front and informal overflow parking nearby. BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: The master bedroom suite captures lake and treetop views and is a genuine sanctuary — accessed through striking brass-hardware barn doors opening to a walk-in robe and a luxury ensuite with double vessel sinks on a floating timber vanity, and walk-in shower with brass rain head. Two further bedrooms offer built-in robes, ceiling fans and elevated outlooks — one with a beautiful lake glimpse. The luxury main bathroom features a restored cast iron bath — epoxy refinished — with brass rain shower overhead, an oversized single floating timber vanity, and a bonus laundry chute direct to the laundry below. A versatile, leafy east-facing fourth room off the dining area suits a home office, guest room or additional bedroom or study. Three bathrooms in total — the upper two recently renovated with luxury finishes, and a convenient third bathroom off the laundry for guests or the morning rush.
