Fernbank is the kind of place most people drive through without stopping. Those who do stop tend to stay. A quiet East Gippsland hamlet with a genuine sense of community, it offers the privacy and breathing room that smaller living is all about — and this weatherboard cottage, with crown land alongside, makes the most of both.
Enter into a light-filled, north-facing open plan living, dining and kitchen area, where a wood heater creates a warm and inviting focal point for the home.
This simple home layout includes three bedrooms, with central bathroom and laundry. The third bedroom offers flexibility and could easily serve as a second living space with direct access to the back deck. There is scope to personalise and put your stamp on it.
Outside there is a carport adjoining the home as well as a powered shed and workshop with multiple water tanks.
For those with fur-babies an inner, pet-safe fence has been installed behind the house within the boundary lines. The western and southern boundary is tree filled crown land to enhance the privacy of this generous block.
This home has practical bones, real privacy and a community that hovers in your peripheral vision rather than on top of you. Being 20 minutes to either Stratford or Bairnsdale, this property could be your next move and your last one.
This won’t last long, contact Veronica to arrange an inspection.
