29 Birch Road, Stirling, SA 5152

Designed by - and for - renowned Adelaide architect Ross Sands, 'Amberwood' embodies an era of design that subtly clings onto the mid-century modernist movement, yet stands unique to the 1970s and the Adelaide Hills. 

The result; a multi-level home that protrudes and pokes itself into the treetops of an expansive parcel that changes colours like a kaleidoscope, giving every space a unique seasonal outlook over its magnificent Hills landscape.  

Whether it's the exposed brick, walls of glass or the cedar shakes that scale the upper portion of its structure, you won't find a facade like this. The antithesis of boring. A reason to stand by the winter creek or bluebell meadow and look back at your home with pride. 

Its current - and second only - owners have made a point of preserving its originality at every opportunity, making subtle improvements along the way to pass on a 5-bedroom home arguably in the best shape of its life. 

And what a shape it is, contorting to serve a bevy of split levels, wings, cosy wood-fired retreats, ensuited bedrooms (two), spaces to work and magical places to share a meal, including a conservatory-style dining room. 

For those casual, mid-week moments, you'll be drawn to the central family room and partnering updated kitchen with stone benchtops, Miele dishwasher, 900mm induction cooktop, breakfast bar and a classy white-on-white colour scheme. 

Those two ensuited bedrooms find refuge in their own respective quarters; one reserved for a teen or visiting guests, the other revelling in its higher-altitude. 

For a home so unique, it really does feel like it has always belonged within a garden landscape filled with multiple entertaining areas, expansive circular driveway, meandering paths that invite exploration, and a quirky shed created from a repurposed wine barrel. In a Stirling dress circle location, Amberwood is something else.
