14 Orley Avenue, Stirling, SA 5152

"ST ANN'S" (CIRCA 1860)

One of Stirling's most admired and treasured estates, ideally located within a short stroll to Stirling's cultured, and quintessential village lifestyle.

Boasting two street frontages, including Avenue Road, this historic villa, sited on 4,611 square metres (approx.) of enchanting garden grounds, presents a most envious existence on no less than Orley Avenue.

Superbly voluminous, and characterful, this elegant 14 room stone villa mansion, presents the ultimate hills lifestyle retreat, with exceptional and gracious formal living rooms, which seamlessly engage numerous light-filled living zones, on both levels, which is perfect for the growing family, and visiting guests.

Virtually every room of this family residence, draws in the glorious and peerless European/English gardens, which change complexion with every season, through your numerous large picture windows.

Orley Avenue, is coveted as one of Stirling's most prized tree-studded boulevards, with "St Ann's" showcasing numerous, relatively low-maintenance, garden terraces, which the current owners have gently nurtured, in their 10-year tenure.

"St Ann's" in that time, has been further upgraded and refurbished, with fashionable style, to ensure the current expectations of the market are satisfied in fine measure, including the stunning chef's kitchen with marble benchtops, extensive custom cabinetry, light infused breakfast room, and large adjacent butler's pantry, all of which flows out to either the elevated sweeping terrace, overlooking the glorious estate, or the paved sun-drenched Tuscan courtyard.

The formal living rooms, with stunning feature fireplaces and high ornate ceilings, are perfectly proportioned, including formal sitting room, and formal dining room, and are bathed in copious amounts of natural light, drawing in the contrasting views of the glorious garden estate.

These formal and casual living zones cater for all occasions and seasons, allowing for extensive entertaining, if required, and are beautifully decorated, ensuring the well-preserved period features continue to take centre stage.

Accommodation is naturally extensive, with five generous bedrooms in total, efficiently dispersed within the residence, and are serviced comfortably by four bathrooms.

The principal bedroom is palatial in size, boasting a spacious walk-in dressing room, with extensive custom cabinetry, stunning ensuite bathroom with dual vanity, underfloor heating, and direct access to your private commanding sweeping terrace, overlooking the terraced gardens.

Hills residences of the size, calibre, substance, and history of "St Ann's", are being seen on the market, with less frequency, particularly residences that have been (at great expense), so tastefully refurbished, catering well for the current expectations of the market …. Not a thing to do.

These magnificent gardens can be further enjoyed, from either the centrally located shingled roof summer house, which is a marvelous spot to entertain with family and friends, or the art studio/yoga suite to the rear of the gardens, which is particularly useful, and would also make a perfect children's getaway.

Comprehensive additional work (that is not on display), has been meticulously and professionally carried out, including being fully rewired, and replumbed, at great cost.  A further detailed 'Features List' is available on inspection.

Excellent adjacent shopping amenities in Stirling, fabulous restaurants and cafes to choose from, including The Stirling Hotel.

Numerous local schooling options available, as well as private school bus pickups, at the end of the street.

Stonehenge Reserve, and the Stirling Tennis Club facilities, are readily available.

Wine cellar, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning (with fully zoned Wi-Fi connectivity), open fireplaces, combustion heating, wine cellar, excellent garaging, and fully monitored back to base alarm system internally, as well as the garage.
