 Built from solid sandstone foundations, the home stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and resilience of its time. Russell, used the timbers of his Hunter River steamer to construct his home. Step through its cedar front door, weathered but strong, and you immediately feel the peacefulness created by double brick internal walls.

This remarkable property is situated on a 1263 sqm block, ensuring privacy with a wide road frontage, wide side access, loads of room to build a large shed and a Council reserve at the rear. It's an easy walk to Rutherford shops and local schools and is just 4 minutes from Maitland's bustling heart and 20 minutes from the world-renowned Hunter Valley Wine Country. 

A towering Moreton Bay fig (planted in 1840) and jacarandas surround the home. Standing beneath their branches, you will love the majestic purple carpet of jacarandas in spring and relax under their shade in summer. This large garden was created to be a minimum-maintenance haven for native birds.

Inside, the home exudes warmth and character, perfectly balancing historic charm and modern comfort. The three spacious bedrooms echo the craftsmanship of a bygone era with a contemporary feel. 
The generously proportioned lounge room invites you to unwind away from the large adjoining family room.
A country-style kitchen overlooks a lush garden where you can watch birds splash in the birdbaths while cooking. It's equipped with quality appliances, blending vintage charm with everyday functionality.
 Off the kitchen, an old servant's quarters leads directly to a courtyard garden. You can transform it into a mudroom, butler's pantry or even a home office - perfect for modern living.
 An extra-large bathroom is perfect for the whole family and leads to a closed-in verandah, which is ideal for an ensuite and wardrobe for the main bedroom.
 For those seeking practicality, the property includes three carports and a single lock-up garage with internal access- a rare convenience for a home of this age.
