Sunlight moves gently through each room, while the reserve and rolling hills form a soft, enduring backdrop that offers a calm rarely found. Completed in 2017 and crafted by David Reid Homes from an AD Architecture design, the residence sits confidently within Ferndale's architectural landscape. Floor-to-ceiling sliders and expansive windows frame the outdoors, drawing natural light deep into the home and maintaining a constant connection to the surrounding scenery. Inside, the home feels intuitive and beautifully composed. A refined kitchen with walk-in pantry sits at the heart of the open-plan living, unfolding into dining and lounge spaces that flow through to a covered deck. An Asador oven and adjoining patio create an inviting alfresco room for long, relaxed evenings, while a second deck offers a peaceful vantage point for morning coffee and reserve views. The gardens are full of life, with terraced beds and planter boxes flourishing with herbs, flowers, citrus and natives. A 20,000-litre water tank supports the planting and complements town supply, adding a practical, sustainable layer to the outdoor environment. Accommodation includes a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, two further bedrooms and a flexible study or single bedroom, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Underfloor heating, double glazing and considered insulation ensure year-round comfort, while an internal-access double garage, dedicated laundry and ample storage support everyday practicality. Beyond the boundary, Ferndale is a community in the truest sense - shaped by connection, care and a shared appreciation for its natural surroundings. Walking tracks weave through the reserve, a playground and community orchard bring neighbours together, and shops and transport remain only minutes away. Exceptionally maintained and bathed in natural light, this home offers a gently restorative way of living - a place to slow down, settle in and feel completely at ease. “For open home parking, we kindly ask that you park in the car park on Ferndale Drive and take a short walk to the house.”...
