31 Lesley Crescent

Crafers SA 5152

Set below street level to carve out a largely level Hills escape framed in freeing lawns and English cottage gardens, this character-rich colonial-style home leaves your troubles at Lesley Crescent and keeps you immersed in Mother Nature, just a 3-minute drive from Stirling's vibrant village. Behind the rich red brick, sweeping bullnose verandah and shuttered sash windows waits a generous family home that ushers peaceful bedrooms to one wing and a procession of living zones to the other. Parquetry floors add warmth and longevity to a formal lounge that curls up to a feature fireplace and gives family games night, Netflix binges and a date with a good book somewhere cosy to land. The long lost art of eating dinner together without an iPhone in sight is rediscovered in an adjacent dining zone with a big, bay-windowed inhale of those sprawling gardens, ensuring every meal comes with an outlook that changes by the hour. When warm weather arrives, only a set of French doors stand between you and an effortless spill to the paved terrace beyond. With solid timber cabinets, dishwasher, deep storage, breakfast bar and a servery window, the kitchen is robust, practical and social, set for a value-adding refresh when you're good and ready. The main bedroom - and its ensuite bathroom - finds refuge at the farthest corner of this storage-laden home with a separate laundry, secure double carport and efficient split ac. Established plantings, a veil of privacy-creating greenery, clipped hedging and those play-ready lawns create a rear setting with equal appeal to green thumbs and energetic kids. Forest trails, Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, Cleland, Stirling and Crafers villages and a range of nearby cellar doors ensure every weekend rarely feels like the one before, while nearby schools and easy access to the South Eastern Freeway ensure the week runs as smoothly as ever. This is the one.
