An exquisite blend of modern open-plan living and alfresco entertaining sits tastefully alongside the rich circa-1925 Edwardian character of ‘Stirling’. Set on a substantial 1,018sqm (approx.) allotment, with five bedrooms, two studies, and a self-contained in-house apartment, this versatile home perfectly accommodates large, growing, or multigenerational families as well as presenting exciting potential for future development (STCA). Seamless indoor-outdoor flow extends to a broad wrap-around deck, sun-drenched backyard, and a twelve-person spa, ideal for bold alfresco entertaining.

Introduced by a broad entrance hallway, the home exudes charm with leadlight windows, finely detailed ceilings, hardwood flooring, and ornate period detail. The formal lounge and dining rooms showcase intricate fireplaces, and a large study is enhanced with floor-to-ceiling shelving. The open-plan area is thoughtfully designed with stone benches, European appliances, timber cabinetry, and a seamless alfresco connection that pays respect to the home’s heritage.

The independently accessed self-contained apartment adds impressive flexibility with a bedroom, ensuite, kitchen/living, and connection to a north-facing deck. Upstairs, a parental retreat offers a spacious main bedroom with mirrored robes, an ensuite with views, a large terrace, and a substantial open living area, while the remaining bedrooms are fitted with built-in robe storage. Additional features include secure driveway parking for multiple vehicles, ducted heating, split system air conditioning, and ducted vacuum.

Positioned amidst beautiful parklands, the home is just steps from Stanley Street Reserve, Hedgeley Dene Gardens, and Gardiners Creek, with easy access to Wattletree Road and High Street cafes, city-bound trams, and Darling Railway Station, providing seamless access to Melbourne’s finest private schools.
