40 Merrion Terrace, Stirling, SA 5152

Set in the heart of beautiful Stirling, just a few minutes walk from the Village with sealed footpaths all the way and access to the South Eastern Freeway, this delightful home sits tucked behind a white picket fence in the middle of a pretty manicured garden full of hill-loving trees and flowering shrubs.

The garden provides a peaceful outlook from every perfectly decorated room of this charming colonial styled home where a thoughtfully designed extension and renovation has transformed a compact original into a substantial home with all the elements for comfortable family living.

The front section of the home offers an elegant formal living dining area with an open fireplace flanked by square-paned colonial windows and a bay window allowing northern light to stream into the dining space. Subtle soft furnishings create a restful ambience here and in the two bedrooms in this section, both of which include a wall of built-in wardrobes. The upgraded main bathroom is conveniently located nearby these bedrooms.
What would originally have been the kitchen is now a lovely open area providing a seamless transition between the original and extended section of the home. Here are located an open plan kitchen and glass walled casual living along with the 3rd bedroom with ensuite. The kitchen is efficient and restful, with plenty of white cupboards contrasting with the warm terracotta colour of the walls in the sitting/dining area. Cooks will appreciate the 2 wall ovens â& amp;acirc;?¬& amp;acirc;?? one Smeg, one Miele, gas hotplates and all will enjoy the generous timber deck for outdoor meals and relaxing which adjoins this area. A brilliant home office created from an original garage opens to this deck area through colonial style French doors.

The external amenities of this home match the quality of those provided inside. A remote control garage has a further roller door to the rear and this allows sheltered access to the home via the deck. Further car parking is provided by a generous carport to the side of the garage. The back garden is quite delightful. Tall shady trees frame the boundary and provide further spots to enjoy alfresco living. There is an extra large (6.15 X 6.1m) workshop/studio, a pristine chook run complete with friendly resident scarecrow and fully protect enclosed hen-house and neatly screened to one side, a flourishing vegetable garden with immaculate raised beds and a small glasshouse.

Everything inside and out in this home is immaculately maintained and presented with a rare sense of style and flair. The floorplan provides the flexibility to adapt to suit various family needs and year round comfort is assured with ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and garden reticulation. Plenty of on and off-site parking and bus stop within 20 metres.
