It's not often you find a double block with dual side access and the opportunity to either renovate or redevelop.
Occupying an expansive 1,000sqm in the heart of this popular family-friendly suburb, this exciting Rutherford property offers plenty of options, regardless of whether you want to renovate to create your ideal family home or explore the potential to sub-divide and develop to increase your investment return.
The classic brick and tile home was built in 1958 and has a commanding street presence amongst the neighbouring smaller home sites, enhanced by its high pitched roof and wide front verandah perfectly finished off with a decorative wrought iron balustrade.
Decorative elements are a feature of this home, which has retained a raft of original elements including ornate plaster cornices, high 2.7m ceilings, frosted glass panel doors and a beautiful stone surround to the built-in wood combustion heater.
Dig a little deeper and you'll also find the home's original polished floorboards concealed beneath the carpeted flooring throughout the house, just waiting for a new owner to restore them to their former glory.
One-of-a-kind decorative plasterwork between the kitchen and the dining room is also a standout feature that adds plenty of character, while an abundance of timber accents including skirting boards, architraves and door surrounds add a golden glow of warmth and texture throughout.
Large windows create inviting light-filled rooms that are just waiting to be updated for a new lease on life, with the layout featuring three good-sized bedrooms, a large lounge room and open plan kitchen and dining room.
A spacious sunroom at the rear of the home provides a valuable additional living area, with direct access to the covered alfresco area where a built-in barbecue with brick surrounds ensure this home is perfect for entertaining family and friends.
The home has been split into two distinct zones by the central hallway, creating the ideal separation between the living and sleeping areas, while a large storeroom with built-in shelving and a three-door cupboard is a versatile addition that provides potential storage solutions or even a home study space.
A modernised family bathroom gives you a head start on your renovation journey, while a separate toilet is practical for families and the adjacent laundry completes the internal accommodation.
Outside, the expansive block offers plenty of potential with a collection of shedding including a chicken coop and aviary outbuildings, as well as a double garage, single garage, carport and additional shed, offering garaging for up to five vehicles.
A concrete driveway provides access to the detached double garage while a grass driveway on the other side of the house leads to the single garages.
Established plants, trees and flowers to rear and front yards add a touch of greenery to this large block, while the large, grassed yard is perfect for kids or provides cleared areas for development.
Regardless of the property's future use, its location will certainly add to its appeal, positioned within walking distance to public transport, local shops, schools, sporting facilities and the local pub with its great family bistro.
The nearby neighbouring shopping centre complexes provide a variety of food and retail outlets, medical and allied health facilities, professional services and other amenities, including three supermarkets and two newsagencies, as well as a post office and library.
Rutherford is also home to a number of sporting and recreational facilities including a local bowling club, while a 10 minute drive east to Maitland's revitalised city centre offers up a world of shopping, cultural, sporting and entertainment options, as well as a well-regarded dining precinct.
