Description: Set on more than 1500sqm of pure Crafers West seclusion, Walpanya wears its mid-century bones beautifully, stretching low and wide across a sprawling, soul-soothing site that feels worlds away. Almost concealed by its gardens, it reveals itself slowly, first as a charming Hills retreat, then as something far more compelling: a flexible, light-filled home that has evolved with care over time, holding onto its original C1948 character while embracing a series of thoughtful updates. Extensive glazing works hard throughout, drawing the gardens into almost every room and giving the home a constant visual relationship with the landscape. Living spaces stretch and shift with an easy sense of flow, creating a flexible home that feels accommodating without ever losing its intimacy. Soaring timber-beamed ceilings, combustion fire and generous proportions define the main lounge room, while the adjoining family and dining spaces expand a layout with a study for good measure. The kitchen has been updated with a light touch that respects the home's age and character, pairing crisp joinery, Perla Venata reconstituted stone benchtops and new AEG appliances. Accommodation is generously spread, with a particularly large main bedroom enjoying ensuite privacy and easy separation from the remaining bedrooms, three of which include built-in robes. Outside, Walpanya leans fully into its setting. Sheltered terraces, gravelled entertaining zones and covered patio space nestle into the greenery, giving the home a series of places to sit, gather or retreat. Crafers West is a beautiful contradiction; secluded and leafy, yet never far from Stirling village, a cellar door, schools and the CBD itself. Welcome to Walpanya. Out of this world.
