We see a lot of homes. A LOT. And every now and then, one stops us in our tracks. 862 Oxford Road is one of them! It’s got cool factor, character and the kind of renovation that makes you do a little happy dance when you walk in - all wrapped up in approximately 2 hectares of Fernside country living. Not too big, not too small, just right. Think a beautifully extended and upgraded home, seriously good outdoor living, a pool, fantastic shedding and enough space to enjoy the country lifestyle without signing yourself up for a second job. Now that’s our kind of lifestyle! What’s inside: We LOVE this home - the personality is in the details. Old doors have been cleverly repurposed as seriously cool barn doors, chunky solid-wood shelving brings the walk-in pantry to life, and as you walk from room to room, the hand-crafted details shine through. Then the stacker doors open up to the covered outdoor entertaining, framed by huge solid-wood posts overlooking the pool and suddenly you’re picturing summer afternoons, friends arriving and everyone spilling outside. Add the clever bedroom configuration and the warmth of the Metro fire in the main living area, and it’s a home that feels warm, very liveable and seriously inviting. What’s outside: Outside is where the lifestyle really kicks up a gear. The covered deck overlooks the pool and established landscaped gardens, setting the scene for kids bombing into the pool, you relaxing in a recliner with a good book, or pottering in the garden and picking the fruit and veges ready for tonight’s BBQ. Then the cool factor ramps up another level with the 2.5-car garage, powered two-bay barn, woodshed, potting shed, another two-bay shed with tack room and animal shelter. Whether it’s animals, gardens, hobbies or simply having room for all your stuff, this place has the infrastructure to back up the lifestyle. Why you’ll love living here: Space, freedom, fresh air and room to do your own thing without the feeling that the property owns you. The renovation is done, the hard work is done, the cool factor is firmly intact, and that just-right 2ha gives you plenty of lifestyle without going overboard. It’s cool country living and honestly? We think you’re going to love it! Have questions? Would like to view? Whatever you need, please just ask!
