Restored 1909 Federation Home – as shown on ‘Selling Houses Australia’ – Surrounded by 1.15ha of lawns, gardens and outbuildings
Fermanagh is a great place to entertain. With 3 living spaces, the front verandah and the back patio, there is room for large parties or intimate dinners. The house is always at the right temperature with double brick interior and exterior walls to keep it cool in summer and ducted gas heating to keep it warm in winter. However you could use the fireplaces (7) if you prefer. The modern kitchen, with 900mm ‘Ilve’ oven, double drawer dishwasher, walk-in pantry and butlers servery, makes entertaining a breeze. If you need more space the 1.15 ha grounds have room for a marquee or two. Should your guests need to walk off their lunch, there are walking trails adjacent to the property or you could restore the old tennis court and have a match.
Overnight visitors are no problem as there are 6 bedrooms which could be dual purposed for your family. Currently one is an office and another as a library, but each has also held overnight visitors.
The country location is superb; only 35 minutes to Canberra for work or pleasure, 3 hours to Sydney, and 3 hours to the coast. However you dont need to leave Yass often as it has lots of coffee shops, restaurants, a wine bar, golf club, tennis club, lawn bowls club, music club, repertory theatre, thriving arts groups, library, parks, easy walks along the riverbank park, wonderful shops, TAFE college, 2 high schools, 2 primary schools, a wonderful Olympic size swimming pool, and so much more.
If you think this could be your new home, come and have a visit and see all of the above and more. Ring me, Naish, on 0488 164 426 for a private viewing or come to the next Open Home.
