In 1994, high amongst the tree tops in Fern Tree, a black vertical board shack was built in the style of the old apple picker’s cottages. In 2009, a complete make over has occurredthis one bedroom shack, situated on approximately 10 acres of pristine bush and looking down the valley with water glimpses of the Derwent River, has been transformed into a stunning modern townhouse.

When you first approach this property you’re greeted by a solid Huon Pine door that opens into a soaring space with a mezzanine floor, and stunning windows that flow around the living room capturing the bush outlook. The house is elevated so looks out at mid-tree level… no neighbours just a beautiful green valley. The home has a spacious open feeling created by being painted all white with elevated ceilings and the exciting design of the windows.

All the windows have been replaced and restyled with double-glazed tempered glass. The whole house has been re-plastered and stunning Tas Oak floorboards, stained to a soft glow, have been laid in the kitchen and living area. The kitchen has been completely removed and replaced. Designed by a chef, you’ll be delighted by the practical design and the quality Bosch appliances.

Outside, vertical boards have been replaced where necessary, and there is new guttering and flashing. Now all that is left to do is the bathroom and the potential to develop downstairs by closing in the under-house section. There is a space to put internal stairs, the house area has been fenced and a road created to give access to the under house space.

One can sit back and enjoy all the work that has been done and now focus on the garden or maximise the potential to create a larger house.

You will be swept away by the character, the views, the location and the quality of workmanship of this delightful renovation.
