You'll be surprised by the amount of space on offer once you step inside the refreshed interior of this fantastic family home.

Set back from the road and partially concealed by lush established gardens in a rocked retaining wall, this private home packs plenty of surprises with a unique layout designed to make the most of the floorspace on offer.

A bricked driveway and offset garage doors add to the character of the brick and tile façade, while a large, covered porch provides ample room out of the weather as you enter the home.

Interesting architectural features including an angled wall highlighted by a feature colour help to define different sitting areas within the first living room, while two large front windows overlooking the established garden perfectly frame the fresh greenery of the external landscape while also allowing plenty of natural light to flood into this space.

A large walk-in linen cupboard offers plenty of storage and was cleverly incorporated into the design thanks to the offset nature of the garages.

The freshly repainted interior continues in the central living hub, where the same chocolate feature colour adds a touch of drama to the dining space while also picking up some of the tones in the speckled laminate kitchen benchtops.

White overhead and underbench cabinetry and a predominantly white splashback tile provide a crisp contrast to the darker wall colour, while the timber-look laminate flooring adds a warm, natural texture throughout.

The unusual configuration of the large return kitchen bench helps to define the various zones in this open plan room while still providing plenty of preparation area, with breakfast bar seating creating additional options for casual meals.

Year round comfort is easily achieved in the central living space thanks to a Fujitsu split system inverter on the wall, while new ceiling fans in the bedrooms and the front lounge room keep things cool when the temperature rises.

Oversized windows and a glass sliding door that stretch almost from the floor to the ceiling ensure this room also feels light and bright, while connecting this open plan internal living space with a covered alfresco area to the side of the home.

Concrete flooring makes setting up an outdoor dining or living space easy, with high Colorbond fences at the side ensuring you're not going to be overlooked by the neighbours while entertaining.

The home has four good-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes in two of the children's rooms and a large walk-through wardrobe in the master suite, which leads through to the convenient ensuite.

A similarly styled main bathroom and separate toilet add to the practicality for families, while the adjacent laundry has direct access to the side of the home.

Gates on both sides of this house provide ease of access from the front yard to the back, while established turf and garden beds give you plenty of greenery without the maintenance of large properties.

Ideally located on the eastern edge of Rutherford, the property is perfectly positioned to make the most of the amenities on offer in the suburb itself or in the nearby city centre of Maitland.

Located within walking distance of the nearby Rutherford Hotel, with its family friendly bistro, and a short drive to nearby childcare, schooling and sporting facilities, this property is ideal for young families, first home buyers and investors.

The bustling Rutherford shopping centre precinct is just four minutes' drive, offering three supermarkets, a variety of food outlets and specialty shops, as well as medical facilities and commercial services, while easy access to the New England Highway adds to the home's appeal, with the revitalised city centre of Maitland less than 10 minutes to the east and the retail and entertainment hub of Stockton Green Hills Shopping Centre a further five minutes away.
