Nestled along a picturesque street lined with leafy European trees that change colour with the seasons, 43 Mabel Street is your dream rural escape, 20-minutes from town. As well as a sprawling 4-bedroom residence with abundant living space, this 1,220 sqm (approx.) allotment houses a multi-purpose studio and alfresco spaces large and small to take in the oasis-like grounds.
In the main house, a series of exquisitely tiled social areas provide seamless living, but with room for all household residents to comfortably gather and get away from each other! A galley-style kitchen is the home's heart, with solid timber benchtops and joinery creating a country-vibe, contrasted by modern appliances including a gas cooker and rangehood. Flanking this culinary hub is a family room opening to the verandah and an expansive dining area that steps down into a big lounge with a cosy combustion heater and French doors to paved alfresco spaces front and back.
For the heads of the household, there's a private parents' retreat comprising a carpeted office or nursery, with the adjacent bedroom opening onto the front garden and extending into an ensuite through a WIR. The kids don't pull a short straw, with the other 2 beds sharing a main bathroom with a traditional clawfoot bathtub for long, bubbly soaks, as well as a shower.
Out back, a timber-lined studio with a full bathroom could work as a teen retreat, guest accommodation or an art studio - with creative inspiration through picture windows. The landscaping is the perfect mix of cushioned lawn, bird-friendly shrubbery, shady trees to dream under, and a productive veggie patch - and these tranquil grounds can be enjoyed from an open-air timber deck that overlooks a spring fed creek or under the gable roof off the massive rear verandah.
This incredible property will be a magnet for seekers of natural serenity, and its proximity (15-minute walk) to the bustling township of Stirling itself and its wealth of essential services, hip hospitality scene and city-bound buses, will only add to its irresistible charm!
