1 Ridge Road, Stirling SA 5152

When the current owners fulfilled their destiny to renovate this Hills' home set behind a laurel hedge on a rambling 1/2 acre, even they couldn't anticipate the fanfare that would come with it.

In fact, so intriguing was this full-scale transformation of a 1970s, architecturally designed home, that the Blog was featured in the universally read Washington Post'

Originally conceived by well-known Stirling GP Dr. Stan Martin and his wife, it was the inherent design - and its peaceful position on a no-through country lane - that first drew in the current owners.

As the transformation began, so did their blog, aptly named 'The Laurel Hedge'; a blow-for-blow account of a renovation that turned the unpalatable brown of its exposed brick and timber beamed ceilings into a sumptuous sea of white.

But this is about so much more than a blog and an inspired change in colour scheme...

It's about stylish dark flooring; lofty, raked ceilings; and picture windows that bring the enchanting, landscaped gardens into every room...

And the unrivalled natural light that smothers every last square inch of a 3-bedroom, split-level home with open-plan living at its heart.

It's about a keen eye for style, personified by the subway-tiled splashbacks, Caesarstone tops, Blanco stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry of its kitchen...

And a layout that removes your ensuite-blessed master bedroom far from a wing dedicated to two bedrooms, sleek bathroom, lounge and your pesky kids.

It's about everything that Stirling and life in the Hills is meant to be. And like nothing else.

It's Intriguing.
