Deakin

View property

The Cape Cod home at 37 Fergusson Crescent may as well have been plucked directly from the pages of a storybook. The entire property – from the gable roof tips to the established gardens – is enchanting.

Living here would be like living out your very own fairy tale. Flowers blooming across the garden, birds chirping in the established trees – honestly, I would not be surprised if one joined you in a cheerful duet each morning. 

A built-in fireplace watches over the formal lounge room, imposing a sense of cosiness and relaxation. Equally, the delightful sunroom lures you in with its warm beams of sunlight – an ideal spot to catch up on some reading or perhaps even some sleep. 

Upstairs are four bedrooms and a central sitting room that makes for the perfect communal study area.

French doors open to the paved outdoor entertaining area and swimming pool. It’s a space that will see your daily enjoyment throughout summer, as well as some of your closest loved ones who might consistently come knocking because they were “in the area” on swelteringly hot days.

Price guide: $1.95 million +
