40 Milan Terrace

Stirling SA 5152

You'll understand when you see how this 1890s former country house melds its architectural additions and no-expense-spared interiors with its sandstone-veiled and extended facade, forged over two levels.

The talents of landscaper Virginia Kennett transport you away on a rare one-acre, twin-titled parcel with an in-ground pool and lawn tennis court, uncannily akin to the English countryside - just seconds from the Stirling Hotel, no less.

A fitting setting for a 5-bedroom residence that was stripped right back to its bare bones to give its style-savvy owners the ultimate blank canvas.

Eleven years in the making, what the owners have created is nothing short of a super-functional work of art that draws attention to its black steel frame windows and doors, vintage lighting sourced from all corners of the globe, bold colour schemes, open-fireplaces, checker board tumbled marble and oak floors and soaring ceilings.

Laid out to assign the entire master suite exclusively to the lower floor overlooking the stunning garden - far, far away from an entire wing dedicated to the kids - downtime is as beautiful as those shared moments.

And there's no better place to share than the spacious open-plan living zone with its steel framed bi-fold doors extending out to an elevated alfresco terrace with a prized north-westerly aspect overlooking the pool and court below and across the valley to the ranges beyond.

Speaking of functional art; take a look at the freestanding 5oven AGA taking pride of place in the Calacatta marble clad kitchen with matching butler's pantry the size of most main kitchens.

Amongst it all are the treasures - large and small - that make this home stand alone; from the hand forged staircase and the powder room's eclectic Schumacher wallpaper to the huge architectural steel framed feature window.

Classy, well considered, substantial and simply something else.
