This stunning solid clinker brick residence, built circa 1947, is far more than just a house – it’s a true family home. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the care and attention poured into its restoration, seamlessly blending period charm and original features with stylish modern updates. Every space exudes warmth, character and an inviting atmosphere.
The main residence offers three generous bedrooms plus a dedicated study, three beautifully appointed bathrooms, and multiple living areas to suit the needs of a growing family. The master suite includes a walk-through robe and a luxurious ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms feature built-in storage. From the front formal living room, framed by tinted hush glass, you’ll enjoy sweeping views over iconic Sturt Street, with the Arch of Victory illuminated at night as a breathtaking backdrop.
The heart of the home is the kitchen and dining zone, where quality and style combine with stainless steel appliances, stone benchtops, hardwood floors, and custom-made cabinetry. Even here, the Arch is perfectly framed by the kitchen window. A second living area connects to the study and opens through bi-fold glass doors onto the expansive undercover decked pergola - an entertainer’s haven that’s ideal for year-round gatherings and could also be converted into a fourth bedroom.
Set on a rare and massive 1,354m² allotment, the landscaped gardens have been professionally designed, creating a private sanctuary to enjoy. A second deck, garden shed with concrete base, powered workshop, and service area add practicality, while established greenery enhances the sense of tranquility.
Adding to its appeal, the property includes a fully self-contained bungalow at the rear. This modern, light-filled retreat offers its own bedroom, ensuite, kitchen, open-plan living, and split system comfort – ideal for extended family, guests, or independent living. A double garage adjoins, with additional off-street parking and a 5kW solar system with 20 panels to keep energy costs down.
Additional features include gas central heating, a gas log fire, a split system, updated bathrooms, a fully renovated kitchen, and a blend of original period detail such as ornate ceilings and cornicing with all windows upgraded throughout.
Perfectly positioned, the home is within walking distance to Ballarat’s finest schools (both public and private), directly opposite the early learning centre, Ballarat Group Practice, and the popular Arch Café. Lake Wendouree and Victoria Park are just a short stroll away, and Ballarat’s CBD is minutes by car.
Opportunities to secure a property of this scale, quality, and location are exceptionally rare – a true family estate offering lifestyle, history, and modern comfort in one remarkable package.
