You can take a large, well built low set brick home like this one and completely rebuild and remake the interiors to be as new, but somehow you can’t take the sense of country away from the position. Fortunately, careful refurbishing has also retained the country feeling inside as well. This large 4 bedroom ensuite home with massive living areas is located on a wide block containing almost 2.5 acres of all usable land. The home now has all new quality interiors including excellent new kitchen with island bench and granite bench tops as well as new tiling, tasteful new light fittings & a new air conditioner in the lounge room. Yet, the big, solid timber country style windows speak of traditional quality built into the home while the outlook guarantees you will instantly realise you are no longer living in town.

Not everyone can enjoy an outlook down over an open field to the beautiful trees of Guanaba Creek as it wends its way along the back boundary. This spring fed creek has never run dry and the previous owners used the back paddock as a rhubarb farm for many years while drawing their irrigation from the creek. There is also a good solid shed in the back paddock with power & lighting connected to remind you that this is really farming country whenever you look out the back windows.

There isn't much to see from Fern Street itself. Most of the home is hidden by its own well matured garden as well as the lovely big trees that line much of the street. The best view you get is of the garage where the full concrete driveway shoots between the trees to the double garage. It is a lovely street located within easy walking distance of St. Bernards Hotel and the local State School. Properties here are nearly all small acreages with still some avocado farms nearby just to complete that authentic country feeling.

The home has been very well finished inside. All it needs now to complete the work is new drapes to complement the all neutral cream decor. Both new bathrooms have all quality fittings and tiling that reaches right up to the 9 foot tall ceilings. Outside has also been improved with extra paving extending beyond the verandah and a big open deck taking in the view to the creek. The overgrown trees have been trimmed, but the main living room windows still manage to look right into dense tropical greenery just beyond the edge of the paving.

As private and removed as the atmosphere is, this property is also conveniently located within walking distance of St. Bernards Hotel and the St. Bernards State School. It is also handy to one of the Mountain’s most popular restaurants and the local corner store.

People who are fed up with the sights & sounds of urban living will find that this property offers a new way of life in a great location.
