This is grandeur without the pretence. A 1920s five-bedroom villa on Stirling's village edge that unfolds like the pages of a storybook renovated, romantic, and forever the poolside entertainer on a prestigious 2387m2 parcel.
Inside, an eye for interior design meets sumptuous living and picture windows in constant conversation with the gardens the dual-level home offering up to five bedrooms (including two potential master suites and a beautiful home office), three bathrooms, and endless light-filled pockets to relax and dine.
None more serene than the open plan conservatory table set; linen tailored to the framing wisteria and silver birches.
The comforts that tie this stunning existence together: ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, hydronic heating throughout, underfloor heating to every bathroom, and two combustion fires while solar heating keeps the pool toasty, all year long.
At every turn, custom joinery feels like it's always belonged from tall bedroom robes to library shelving in the TV snug and adaptable home office; and the urban-country kitchen, hosting near-new twin Neff ovens, induction cooking and an integrated fridge/freezer, lives beautifully in sync with its setting.
For those who appreciate period details - the ornate doorbell, marble fireplaces, eyelash verandahs and box window seats - the leadlight is the icing on the cake.
Through secure remote gates, guests can arrive and valet park around the circular driveway, enjoy a long lunch under the trees or a G and T under the vines; and for kids, garden adventures mean fun on the lawns, in the pool or the cubby house, as ancient boughs beg to be climbed.
Bore-irrigated, established grounds include aggies, magnolias, and driveway-lining crab apples, with wooded pockets that take care of themselves beneath cool shade that hits the spot come summer.
The dogs, ducks and hens will also thrive. And whether you sit beneath it, appreciate it from the balcony or through a picture pane, the enormous oak tree is magical.
All this, just a wander from Stirling Village and its famous markets, Steamroller Park, Stirling Cellars & Patisserie, St. Catherine's School, and arguably the most elite pocket of the Adelaide Hills.
Some homes are admired. The Oaks is remembered.
