38 Mabel Street, Stirling, SA 5152

Set far enough below Mabel Street to hush the passing world, without ever having to make a long trek to your front door, this gorgeous ode to the character home turns its back on those daily stresses and embraces a soul-soothing rear aspect instead.

You'll enter, what on first impressions, feels and looks like a single storey home. The beautiful reality is that it all culminates in a glorious elevated rear - and a surprise lower level the kids or visiting guests will love.

Think of it as a spacious and neatly presented 4-bedroom home that grows with you - reaching its 'magic' moment when you sit on the rear deck as the sun fades to a burnt orange beyond your sprawling cottages gardens below.

Flexibility defines an upper level with a luxuriously large and ensuited main bedroom, home office/fourth bedroom and three living zones carving out their own take on that rear outlook.

Cosy movie nights or a date with a good book come naturally to the lounge room; a central dining room is as casual or formal as the occasion calls for; and the fully-equipped, granite-topped kitchen is the true hub and soul of this feel-good home.

With a huge central living zone, bathroom and two double bedrooms at its bookends, the lower level is a kitchen shy of being a fully fledged home-away-from-home for a lucky teen or two.

Cafe blinds close to make the expansive terrace another year-round 'room'. Lift them to officiate over tense games of bocce or cricket on the lawns of a rear setting curated by Adelaide Hills Gardening. It's your time to bloom.
