Last Listing description (September 2020)
Stroll around its meandering gardens and you wouldn't know that the very heart of Stirling Village sits just metres away - such is the magic of an 1880s-built stone-bolstered, two-storey home with up to seven bedrooms and rare 'District Centre' zoning.
That makes this extended beauty as much a possible place of business as it is a charming, flexible home with the modern family in mind, multiple living zones, a self-contained upper level, and lovely - sometimes quirky - little reminders of its proud past at every turn.
The original stone exterior walls are now internal features of a home that has grown periodically on a 2600sqm (approx) parcel with the privacy, calm and creek setting that not only defies its instant reach to Stirling's high street and Hotel - but holds more value than most, simply because of that rare zoning.
The best perspective of a quintessential Hills garden below and valley beyond: the elevated, vine-covered terrace and entire northern side of the home that inhales the morning sun through a series of expansive colonial timber framed windows.
There is in fact a beautiful, green perspective from many rooms of a home that can be configured to cater for just about every stage of life, family member, mood...and business.
Will you run a private practice - like the previous veterinary clinic - on an upper level boasting up to three bedrooms (one with an ensuite), an office, that kitchen, and a rumpus/retreat with its own terrace amongst the treetops?
Or is that level reserved purely for your pesky teens, weekend guests or live-in grandparents, while you run the show on a lower level with a library, several potential waiting rooms and a large double garage/workshop?
The point is that life - and your business - has never been better placed, at a time when working from home becomes more appealing by the day. And what a home it is.
