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.
