11 Vista Terrace, Stirling, SA 5152

As the name suggests, typically picturesque hills vistas are on offer from every angle of this intriguing property.

Twin sets of elaborate black wire gates mark the entrances to a circular drive curving right round the house through a rambling garden of sweeping lawns, mature shady trees and beds of flowering hills-loving plants to give direct access to two substantial sheds each housing at least 2 cars plus storage or workshop.

The solid brick home with red tile roof sits proudly in the middle of the allotment of some 3000 sq metres to command the high point of the views. With slate paved verandas front and back, generously proportioned rooms and character features of the period, it has an air of grace and charm that could readily be enhanced with further renovation or extension, but is perfectly comfortable as is.

The front door opens to an exceptionally large entry , currently housing the family piano and other treasured pieces of furniture. Beautiful polished heartwood floorboards and high decorative ceilings grace this area and the formal lounge and dining room. An oil heater has been built into the lounge fireplace for winter warmth. The eat-in kitchen which opens off the dining room has recently been refurbished maintaining country charm with Tasmanian oak cabinets topped with white laminate and pretty blue and white wallpaper to match the Delft style tiles. Adding to the character of this room is the way the stove has been fitted into the original oversize fireplace. There are two double bedroom, plus one single bedroom, all carpeted for a cosy feel underfoot. The master has a wall of built in robes and a delightful outlook over the front garden. The bathroom which has also recently been updated is nearby with a separate toilet next to the generous laundry.

In the garden, one of the lawn areas is dedicated to children's activity with a cubby house and swing under the trees. One of the sheds borders this area and has rainwater tanks and a fenced shelter to one side. Terracing at the back of the property contains a mini orchard and the other large shed incorporates a separate store room as well as garaging with an original workshop pit. There is plenty of room for additional parking or to store a boat or caravan in front of this shed.

With close proximity to the Stirling shopping area and South Eastern Freeway access and within walking distance of Stirling East Primary School, the property is ideally located and set up to enjoy an ideal hills lifestyle.
