Pauline Hurren's architectural legacy can be felt all over the Adelaide Hills. Yet, 6 Heath Road in Crafers West might just leave the biggest mark of all.
As if plucked straight from the Italian hillside 200 years ago and carefully placed on some 3,200 elevated metres of South Australia, this dual level home is as transportive as it gets.
And it's a beautiful thing.
Pauline's genius here was being able to make this 1988-built home so authentic that only the record books could give away its real, youthful age. A feat that can only be achieved through meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Smothered in stone, this diligently built 4-bedroom home rises from enchanting gardens with meandering paths and bursts of colour. The legacy of its green-thumbed current owner.
Inside, those details are beautifully ornate, including its glorious arched timber entry door, cedar frames and sills, stone fireplaces and colourful leadlight windows.
The home looks like it could have been built 200 years ago, but Pauline made sure its layout and liveability stands up to the demands of a contemporary family.
And it's all about the way the home flows from one bright, airy room to the next.
All four bedrooms (one ensuited) find refuge on the lower floor, leaving those wonderful waking hours for a far-reaching upper level that alternates between casual and formal, steps out to a sweeping terrace with coastal glimpses, and connects to a stone double garage via a glorious atrium.
No two rooms are the same, each pulling you into the next in this immersive home with a series of recent updates, including a stone-topped open-plan kitchen with Siemens appliances, drink fridges, downdraft range hood, induction cooktop, deep storage and dual skylights overhead.
Step out to that terrace as the sun dips over the Gulf and it's hard to fathom this 'world of its own' sits within a fleeting moment of Stirling village and the CBD beyond. Thank you Pauline. Thank you very much.
