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 vast tiled family living. Yet, the big, solid timber country style wind out windows with matching timber and glass doors speak of the 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 rainforest and trees fringing 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 set to the side and out of the direct line of vision in the back paddock with power and lighting connected to remind you that this really is prime quality, red soil farming country.

There isn’t much to be seen of the property from Fern Street itself. Most of the home is hidden by its new white picket fence and well matured garden as well as the lovely big trees that line much of this short 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 and lighting. 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 timber deck taking in the view to the creek. The overgrown trees have been trimmed, but the family living room windows still manage to look right into dense tropical greenery just beyond the edge of the paving.

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.
