Stage an impressive return to the Hills and set the GPS for this seriously good 5-bedroom home clasping one of those gorgeous bigger blocks, a 5-minute wander to Stirling Village.
With a stream, pond, decks, trails and established exotics mingling freely with no-fuss natives, it's easy to spot the connection to the botanic gardens at nearby Mt Lofty, here condensed into a manageable but no less impressive Hills estate - circular driveway and in-and-out gates radiating just the right top-end appeal.
Descend in a satisfying crunch of gravel to freshly painted render, white trim and colonial windows, (lots of them) with beautiful plantation shutters forming phantom screens, broadcasting understated elegance, with barely a change in level. Keen entertainers, green thumbs and families with older kids, step this way!
Inside, living space after living space reveals itself in a polished parade of parquetry and bamboo flooring, glossy greenery and decks; bifold glass enabling a seamless flow that is ideal when entertaining.
Another warming fireplace, another opportunity to stretch out and relax, as casual dining goes open-plan with crisp white cabinetry, jarrah benchtops and more of that botanic splendour.
The adjoining study would give you a fourth double bedroom under the main roof, while a glass studio on the back furnishes flexible options as a den, home gym or pet room.
Head back to the marble-tiled entry and turn left for three more bedrooms and two mosaic-spritzed bathrooms contained blissfully within a separate sleeping wing. Sweet dreams indeed for a master with full ensuite, walk-in robe and private access to tiered alfresco entertaining featuring that all-time classic - a sauna!
If you're still craving greater sanctuary, check out the freshly-carpeted garden studio where a kitchenette, ensuite and pergola spawn all the essentials for a teen retreat, guest stay or nice little earner.
And, as the seasons progress, spring blush through autumn blaze, follow the gurgling stream down the hillside to more decks of delight on and around the lilypond below. A haven for birdlife, fish and its very own resident turtle summer entertaining and private reflection, Monet couldn't have painted it better himself!
For the garden lover, entertainer or family seeking Stirling's well-heeled Hills lifestyle, Glenside's the go!
