Tucked into one of Ferny Creek's most tightly held pockets, this beautifully composed weatherboard makes a confident statement on a sweeping corner block, a true love letter to classic hills architecture. Set on a flat and generous 1,806 Sqm (approximately) parcel, its striking facade immediately captures attention, while inside, heritage detailing, warm timber and everyday functionality come together with an ease that feels both familiar and quietly impressive.
From the moment you arrive, traditional verandas wrap the home in a sense of welcome, framed by English box hedges and cottage gardens that hint at the charm within. Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. High ceilings, delicate fretwork, picture rails, heritage doors and exquisite raw river redgum timber floors create a rhythm of old-world elegance that flows from room to room.
Two distinct living zones cater beautifully to family life. A quiet fireside lounge invites slower moments - think timber shutters filtering the afternoon light, a classic brick fireplace glowing gently, and a built-in window seat that becomes the best spot in the house as the sun dips behind the trees. The family and meals domain is brighter, more social, centred around a kitchen that's both practical and polished. Cashmere marble benchtops, abundant cabinetry, Belfast sink, a 900mm Smeg oven and dishwasher make entertaining effortless, while French doors open wide to an expansive entertaining deck, blurring the line between inside and out.
Accommodation is equally thoughtful. The master suite is privately poised and grand in scale, complete with a box bay window framed by timber architraves, walk-in robe and ensuite. Three further bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot bath and oversized shower. Upstairs, a versatile retreat offers endless flexibility - home office, media room, guest space or even a fifth bedroom - ready to adapt as life evolves.
Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. Sun-dappled lawns stretch out beneath the shade of two magnificent trees - a stately oak and a tri-colour copper beech - offering space to play, relax or simply breathe. There's a dedicated fenced area for four-legged companions or feathered friends and a firepit zone for late night chats under starry skies. There's even a zipline for the kids and a homemade swing purpose built for magical childhood memories.
And then there's the garage. A mammoth, over-height six-car space (9m x 15m) with drive-through access and three roller doors - currently part skate ramp, part workshop - it's a dream setup for tradies, tinkerers or energetic kids who need room to move, rain or shine. Furthermore, an extensive sealed driveway easily accommodates multiple vehicles, a caravan or boat.
Add gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a huge laundry/mudroom, and a walk-to-everything lifestyle - schools, forest trails, Alfred Nicholas and George Tindale Gardens, with Proserpina Bakery just around the corner - and you have a quintessential Ferny Creek home that balances character, space and everyday joy.
