Built for one of Stirling's first ever residents, George Brown; the backstory matches the charm, character and head-turning street presence of this C1890 stone villa, poised on the high side of Druid Avenue to look over Stirling village with pride.
The story goes that Mr Brown would hand cart goods between Mount Barker and Adelaide, quickly realising he needed a place to stay halfway between the two.
And here we are; 134 years later, swooning over the enduring beauty of this solar-powered home that revels in its periodic updates and some 2,256sqm of freedom at its feet, just steps from Stirling's central hub and monthly markets.
Whether it's the rare local quarry stone that defines its construction, or the leadlight windows, soaring ceiling roses, polished Baltic pine floorboards, ornate fireplaces or decorative hallway arch, credit goes to its long standing custodians for preserving the home's period hallmarks with such care.
They also pass on those updates, including a brand new bathroom and kitchen featuring a 900mm oven/induction cooktop, plenty of storage and enough floor space to the dance the waltz with reckless abandon.
The kitchen looks out to the rear gardens and feeds two equally spacious living zones - one with pressed metal ceilings, both primed for formal and casual affairs in this extended, re-wired and re-roofed 3-bedroom home with ducted r/c for year-round comfort.
Set at the nucleus of a landscaped plot with pond, sprawling lawns, large 3-phase powered shed and plenty of additional off-street parking, you'll feel like you're in your own world - without ever being more than a minute away from Stirling's buzz. The story continues…
