15 Errard Street South, Ballarat Central VIC 3350

This remarkable turn of the century home is positioned in a quintessential Ballarat street, lined with magnificent mature deciduous trees that stand proudly in front of awe-inspiring period homes and high quality modern homes. A brisk 150 meter stroll will find you in the heart of Ballarat; Sturt Street, where you will be spoilt for choice with boutique shopping, and some of Ballarats finest cafes. In 10 minutes you can find yourself at the foreshore of Lake Wendouree, or boarding the morning train direct into the heart of Melbourne. An undeniably envious location.
Through the precision trimmed hedges, budding roses and thriving magnolias of the front garden, the level of character emanating from the front faade of this home is truly captivating. The original tumbled bricks circa 1894, the slate roofing, and pressed metal gable feature along with the subtle leadlight windows tie perfectly with the brick paving and enclosed front yard. This theme continues through the front door of this home into the grand entranceway with the original decorative cornice, 13ft ceilings, pendant lighting along with a subtle modern touch; gorgeous engineered timber floor upon a solid concrete foundation which extends through the hall through to the lounge and kitchen at the rear of the home.
