From century-old oaks to the commanding sandstone feel the history, embrace the extended family scale, and lean into the garden grandeur that defines this sweeping Stirling statement on a serene half-acre block.
Spanning two street frontages, this fully-renovated character home's whitewashed sash windows, rich jarrah floors, 3.2m (approx.) ceilings, vintage AGA stove, and wide return verandahs cast you back to its c.1919 roots as a prestigious 'summer house', whilst its many modern comforts offer the best of luxurious living.
Perched in an elevated position, the lush and leafy treetop outlook is a stunning feature from inside the home. The central lounge and kitchen have huge glass windows onto the garden but remain high and private. Magnificent sunrise views delight those up early and the kitchen window seat is a favourite for gazing out, coffee in hand.
Similarly, the expansive wrap-around balcony celebrates the property's verdant, landscaped grounds. It is a delightful, enclosed space tor children to play 'amidst the treetops', and also creates a spectacular entertaining space for gathering with loved ones or enjoying a quiet cup of tea. Soaring eaves make summer evenings sensational looking out to garden beds lined with camellias, towering deciduous trees, and level lawns ready for a trampoline or play.
The primary bedroom, gracing the northern comer, enjoys dual-aspect views and its own verandah reprieve. Also led by a wall of sky-high storage, the family room peels back stackable dividing doors to reveal a built-in study desk reinforcing good habits before bed ahead of the home's three-bedroom addition: the kids' wing.
Soft hues now enhance this beautiful home's heritage, paired with modern upgrades including two living zones, an open-plan rear study, and a newly remodelled second bathroom, with underfloor heating in both. The cosy lounge fireplace glows with happiness as the home's 'heart' in winter and keeps the family and guests super snug. Complemented by a ducted heating / cooling system, and fans, comfort is also at the touch of a button. The kitchen's stainless Smeg appliances, Caesarstone benchtops, and walk-in storeroom / pantry further enhance ease of living.
Immense stone walls carve and level out the sweeping 2,467m2 allotment and a rear double carport with kitchen entry makes life easy in all weather. A powered double garage fronts Spencer Street, while a secure under-croft cellar / storeroom with separate access guarantees storage is never in short supply.
And beyond the oaks, enjoy Karkoo Nursery Cafe on Sturt Valley Road, Stirling Village in a 1km stroll, and a local surprise: stunning valley views across the road from Sunset Rock, followed by a bushland walk in the company or curious kookaburras.
Enjoy a true Stirling icon, in every sense.
