A gracious blend of old and new, Artemisia House is a sensitively-crafted home with roots in a gentler past.
The thick old hand-made stone walls of the original symmetrical cottage now blend with a spacious light-filled extension encompassing the kitchen meals and living room that lead to a fabulous deck area overlooking the rear gardens and sweeping lawns.
What a perfect spot to entertain and keep an eye on the kids, as they enjoy playing in the safe and secure gardens.

The versatile floor plan is currently configured with 3 bedrooms, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom, family bathroom, large family lounge and a smaller, elegant sitting room or library with French doors leading to an enclosed outdoor area suitable for cats or perhaps birds. The main living room oozes natural light and is heated via a slow combustion heater in the cooler months. A heat bank and gas heater in other parts of the house contribute to all-round warmth in the winter.
The house remains cool during summer due to its thick stone walls in the old section and “Comfort Glass” glazing and excellent insulation in the extension.

The country-style, eat-in kitchen has an elegant feel and will certainly become the hub of this charming home. Leading directly out onto the slate-floored, covered deck area via bi-fold glass doors, it features a gorgeous “wrap-around” solid red-gum kitchen bench with a built-in double sink, top-quality dishwasher, electric oven and gas cook-top with a stainless steel range hood. The red-gum bench feature is partnered with fine, quality Sydney blue-gum floors in both the kitchen and main living room, and is tough, beautiful and easy to clean.

Outdoors, you can enjoy the benefits of the years of love and attention that have created the garden beds, fruit trees and veggie gardens, all endowed with rich fertile soil from the efficient, four-bin composting system. The garden overlooks a peaceful valley, home to grazing sheep and a myriad of birdlife living in a stand of old Stringy Bark trees.

An abundant supply of rainwater feeds the house via a huge concrete tank located under the deck and reserve tanks at the back of the property. An agreement with a neighbour also provides access to a high quality bore for garden watering during the hot summer months.
Various sheds, including one set up as a retreat room, spare bedroom, or home office area, accommodate tools, vehicles, mowers, the year’s wood supply etc. The double garage, like the sheds, is powered, light-filled, and big enough for extra shelving if needed.
Summertown is located just a 10 minute drive from Stirling, 15 minutes from the CBD, (can be slightly longer in peak hour) and you can pop down the hill to Burnside Village for convenient shopping. Public transport to both Hills and suburban or city Schools and Colleges can also be accessed close by. Artemisia permits an extraordinary blend of rural and city lifestyles, and if you are a lover of character homes with a hankering to become a hills dweller, Artemisia may well tug on your heart strings – I know it has on mine!
