Set on an elevated half acre (2083 sq m block) with magic mountain views and well-established gardens, here is a rare renovators delight with potential plus. This fine fibro home has rare hardwood frames and offers 3 bedrooms plus study upstairs together with guestroom/teenage retreat downstairs. With an ideal northerly aspect, this comfortable home enjoys full sun in winter, cool breezes in summer and offers a grand opportunity to enter the exclusive Fernmount market at a rock bottom price.

Renovators delight

As you stand at the top of the block looking north to the mountains it’s easy to imagine building a new home higher up the block than the existing home that would enjoy an even greater vista! You could then convert the existing house to a studio or guest accommodation (subject to council approval) and sit back with a drink to compliment yourself on your excellent work!

The single carport provides covered all weather access to the front door, which brings you into the kitchen, and leads to the separate dining and living rooms. The kitchen is basic with single sink, electric stove and adequate cupboards, drawers and bench space. It ‘does the job’ and enjoys a delightful outlook but it sure would like to be renovated!

The dining room (approx 4.5 x 3.5m) offers plenty of space with great mountain views and a doorway to the northern verandah. The living room (approx 5.5 x 4.5m) also offers plenty of space with more magnificent mountain views while Bedroom 1 (approx 3.5 x 3.5m) also enjoys those views and a built in robe space. Bedroom 2 (approx 4.5 x 2.5m) enjoys a lovely outlook and morning sun through the easterly windows while Bedroom 3 (approx 4 x 2.5m) is the ideal ‘sleep in room’.

There’s a small but handy central study (approx 2 x 2.5m) and the bathroom, whilst basic, offers shower over half bath, vanity/hand basin and dual flush toilet. Once again this room would love a makeover and there’s a second toilet just outside via the verandah. Downstairs there’s a bedroom, ‘living room’ and combined laundry bathroom making it an ideal guest room or teenager retreat - also enjoying those lovely mountain views.

Outside you’ll find well established gardens with lots of fruit trees including banana, orange, lime, mandarin, macadamia, star fruit, Brazilian cherry, peach and mango trees together with lots of others including azalea, jacaranda, frangipani, gardenia, bohemia, tibouchina, grevilleas, tree ferns, staghorns & much more.  There are 2 new colourbond sheds outside and the terraced gardens have been designed for minimal maintenance.

There are loads of birds (56 species counted so far) & needless to say they are attracted to the native plantings. The sunrises are an absolute delight with maximum sun in winter, minimum sun in summer and of course those cool summer breezes that Fernmount is known for. With town water connected and plenty of road frontage there’s lots of scope for change to this property.

So whilst it could do with some TLC this house is incredibly solid (they simple don’t build them with hardwood frames anymore) and offers great potential to many different buyers. It’s perfectly livable now & if you wanted you could easily live here while you tackle one room at a time.

There’s a school bus to the driveway and it’s a great neighborhood with no through traffic at all. This property has potential plus and lends itself to many different family orientations as well as many different development plans. This is a unique opportunity well worth your attention.
