The Stables C.1888

Once a modest 19th-century cottage, The Stables has been reimagined through a meticulous year-long transformation that strikes the perfect balance between heritage character and contemporary design. Behind its timeless bluestone façade, this c.1888 residence now stands as a showcase of craftsmanship, quality and understated luxury.

Inside, the home reveals interiors defined by height, light and refined detail. The kitchen and dining zone form the social heart, where an exposed bluestone wall contrasts with sleek Corian benchtops and Kleenmaid appliances. A fully integrated dual fridge and freezer, induction cooktop and double pantry unite practicality with style, while a skylight and pendant lighting draw natural warmth and light. A custom bar and wine display add sophistication, with bifold doors opening to a private north-facing rear surrounded by established greenery and a pergola designed for effortless entertaining.

A separate living room provides an inviting retreat, enhanced by dimmable lighting and a north-facing window framing the garden. Three spacious front bedrooms each include built-in storage, while a versatile fourth bedroom with rear access offers flexibility as a home office or guest suite, allowing visitors to enter without passing through the main residence.

Every detail has been carefully considered, from the bathroom’s matte black fittings, heated towel rail and skylight to the guest powder room and well-equipped laundry with overhead storage, sink and full appliance provisions.

Positioned opposite Howard Florey Reserve and within walking distance to Frewville Foodland, Arkaba Shopping Centre and The Parkside Hotel, The Stables captures the essence of city-fringe sophistication.
