Welcome to Fernhem, a character-rich haven nestled on just over three-quarters of an acre, where classic timber craftsmanship and modern comforts combine to create a truly unique lifestyle opportunity. The heart of the main home is its open plan living space, where a soaring ceiling, warm timber finishes, and a gas fire invite you to relax and unwind. The country-style kitchen, complete with timber cabinetry, a 900mm stainless steel cooker, porcelain benchtops, a walk-in pantry, and a dishwasher, brings both charm and practicality to everyday living.
Step outside through sliding doors to a vast covered deck, ideal for entertaining, dining alfresco, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding gardens.

The home offers three generous bedrooms on the lower level, including a master with full ensuite. The second bedroom features a walk-through robe with direct access to the central bathroom, while the third has a built-in robe and its own private entrance to the same.
