"Also known as 52 Longwood Road, Stirling"
Set below street level to hide so peacefully from the passing world is a stone-laden Stirling treasure you'll never see coming in a home that ends with a pool, perfect sunsets and a sneak peek at the sea.
How? Because this rebooted, '70s-built and boomerang-shaped home reveals not only the ocean through a hole in the hillside, but a C1800 watch tower that rises to a second level and makes this one very unique proposition.
The end result is a striking, charismatic of meeting of two eras at the centre of a block that fades into a tree-top perspective - best served from pretty much every room and always shielded from any prying eyes.
It comes as no surprise that the thick original stone of the watch tower is the stylistic - and thermal - feature of a 2-3-bedroom home with contemporary cues at every turn.
A striking mix of timbers, textures and hues headline a central lounge room that, through expansive windows/doors, steps straight onto a timber deck hovering over the pool.
The near new adjacent kitchen - with thick granite tops, a Smeg 900mm oven/gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and butler's pantry - keeps an eye on the pool too....not to mention the odd inquisitive koala or echidna.
With its ensuite bathroom, dressing room and the sense you are floating amongst the trees; the master bedroom is easy to distinguish....until you step into the watch tower, that is.
With those rugged stone walls, vaulted timber ceilings, a second level retreat/extra bedroom and that treasured connection to Stirling's past, it doesn't get much better than waking up and winding down in your very own watch tower.
