Looking for a low-key lifestyle, living almost "off the grid" and loving the simple pleasures of laid-back charm? Here is your chance -- This architect-designed split-level four-bedroom home is secluded and quiet, yet close to Stirling with easy access to the freeway. What's not to love?
Be invigorated. Enjoy spectacular sunset views from the deck, or from the balcony off the master bedroom. But before you explore the outdoors, here is what this comfortable authentic home offers indoors:
A combined living and dining space features floor-to-ceiling windows with custom-designed stained glass, raked open-beam ceilings, and is warmed by a combustion fire that keeps the entire home toasty on chilly winter evenings. Adjacent is a light-filled country kitchen with ample storage and a breakfast bar, opening onto bushland surrounds. Energy-efficient Rinnai heaters in the kitchen and living room add heating options.
Original timber floors span the mid-level hallway landing, inviting you to the sleeping zone - three spacious bedrooms with raked ceilings, skylights, built-in robes, and a family bathroom featuring a corner spa, vanity and shower, with an adjacent separate w.c..
Upstairs, an expansive bedroom serves as a parents' wing or a teen retreat - a flexible zone where the choice is yours. Step onto the balcony, breathe in the tranquillity and wonder what the city folk are up to as the sunset glows over the gum trees.
The outdoors is where this home comes alive (along with a koala or two). Grow produce in the raised beds, tend the herb gardens and citrus trees, keep the kids amused with a half court ball/tennis arena - but the real attraction is a fabulous entertainer's deck which extends your living space while capturing the idyllic surrounds. Gather your friends, stoke the bonfire and stargaze with wine in hand. When in the hills...
The lower driveway accesses a two-car garage, while the upper driveway leads to a carport attached to the house with undercover parking for two cars. Plenty of sheds provide ample space for kindling, garden tools, and locked storage.
With local attractions and amenities like Mark Oliphant Conservation Park, Stirling Village and Heathfield High School close by, morning strolls will become rituals. Forget traffic and stop time in semi-rural style.
