Nestled in the 'Dress Circle' of Stirling in the Adelaide Hills, along a quiet no-through street, this owner architect designed home built in 1967 is rich in character and has maintained its mid century charm through the decades by the one original owner.
Upon arriving at 10 Duncraig Lane Stirling, the period design features of the home are showcased immediately by the minimalist design, clean lines and the natural beauty and craftsmanship of the original timber, stone and brick. The established trees and gardens expand over the 1880m2 (approx.) site, with a 30.3m (approx.) wide frontage, where there is an abundance of outdoor space for family and guests to roam and enjoy.
Set over 3 floors, the home offers a versatile floor plan of 3 bedrooms, plus a home office. The downstairs entrance hall generously welcomes you into the appealing mid-century decor where the floorplan seamlessly integrates the inside spaces with the natural outdoors, through the expansive timber framed windows, straw lined high ceilings and functional and open living spaces.
The downstairs living area is open and naturally light filled, overlooking the established shady gardens of the expansive West facing frontage. A wood burning fireplace provides extra warmth and ambience on those Winter days. Positioned adjacent to the main entrance is the sitting room or home office, featuring a separate entrance door for business use, allowing this space to be utilised privately and separate to home life.
Leading up the wide timber staircase to the heart of the home is the statement 60s kitchen and dining area showcasing the original timber cabinetry, electric cooker, and Lino floors. A potential cellar is conveniently situated adjacent to kitchen/ dining. The modern comforts of a split system air-conditioner provides heating and cooling to the space. Functional in its current design, the floorplan also offers the opportunity to modernise and collaborate with the adjoining laundry to your personal taste.
Located on the third floor, the 3 bedrooms are filled with light and accentuate the natural surrounds of the outdoors through the expansive windows. The master bedroom showcases the genuine architectural design of mid century open plan, as it seamlessly overlooks the main living spaces. A central upstairs family bathroom comprises a combined shower and bathtub plus separate WC.
The interior home décor has been newly painted throughout, including new carpets, quality blinds and light fittings to complement the original architectural features. Additionally, a recent upgrade of electrical has been completed to facilitate the installation of new lighting.
A short distance from the house is a charming studio showcasing authentic period features of a mezzanine level and internal straw lined roof. The timber framed windows overlook the expansive and lovely gardens with natural bird and animal life, providing a very peaceful space. Abundant with possibilities, this is an ideal space for an art / yoga studio, or transform into self-contained accommodation for family, friends, and Airbnb guests.
The functionality of the home continues outdoors by offering a sunny North facing patio directly accessed from the kitchen / meals area. Many outdoor features including two separate driveways, main driveway leading to the carport for two cars fitted with secure single roller door. Large shed at the rear, ideal for a workshop or storage. Large rainwater tank. Newly installed Enviro-septic with reticulation to the gardens.
Just a short drive or walk to the cafes, eateries, and specialty shops. A convenient 15-minute drive to the CBD via the South Eastern Freeway and 15 minutes in any other direction delivers you to the world-class wine regions of the Adelaide Hills for cellar door tastings.
