Nestled amongst established Rutherford homes in Clayton Crescent, number 31 is a substantial 20th century brick property with high ceilings and delightful elevated views. The colorbond roof adds a federation style, enhanced by a wraparound verandah with timber pillars which leads to a back entertaining deck.

Through the timber and glass front door, the entrance hall leads through an arched doorway to the fully carpeted spacious, separate sunny living room, which boasts a cooling fan for summer and an outlet for a gas fire for winter warmth. The decorative cornices add period charm to the mid-century canvas. Space-saving bifold doors lead to the hall with its spacious linen closet, the kitchen, dining room and the bedrooms.

The open plan kitchen, with its air-conditioning, ample storage, breakfast bar and gas cooktop, wall oven and separate grill, offers all the modern appliances you could need and a sliding door leads you through to a very convenient laundry/pantry. Through sliding doors, the dining room leads out to the entertainment deck and a particularly lovely secluded garden.

The three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and double wardrobes in the spacious master, are fully served by the stylish and immaculate bathroom, with its bath, built-in shower recess, and separate toilet. The master bedroom enjoys direct access into the bathroom, while a door to the hall provides access for the rest of the house. The third bedroom, which could also act as a home office or additional reception room is positioned at the rear of the house with a delightful garden aspect.

The lovely south-facing established secluded garden is private and secure. Your children and pets will enjoy the expanse of lawn and shady fruit trees. The garden shed and double garage with side access will securely house your vehicles, with space for a workbench and plenty of storage. The concrete driveway provides additional off street parking and leads back to the front lawn with its traditional box hedging and neat flower beds.

Rutherford is a great area for couples, young families and down-sizers , with its close proximity to schools, shopping, a choice of eateries, and all the amenities you will need. Close to public transport, it's only a 12-minute drive to Maitland city centre.
