315 Eureka Street, Ballarat East VIC 3350

From the moment one passes through the front gate, the grandeur of this striking family home is apparent. The pitched Marseille terracotta tiled roof, with its charming chimney pots, completes the picture. Walk beneath the National Trust listed weeping, Scottish elms to the veranda and behold the tranquillity of the meticulously maintained traditional garden. Enter the home and feel the warmth of the timber-lined, art nouveau hallway aglow in the light cast by the ruby and blue leadlight panels. The 12 foot ceilings are finished in pressed metal. Original cornices, door handles and finger plates bear testament to the care that has been lavished by the owners. Two bedrooms, stunning formal sitting and dining rooms open off the hallway. The staircase leads to the children's two bedroom, pitched roof paradise with its own "model train" room. Living areas include maid's room (study), living room, second bathroom and breakfast room. The adjacent galley kitchen is serviced by the butler's pantry. A 1930s art deco extension houses the north facing sunroom and laundry. Built in the early 1900s for Ballarat industrialist, George Farmer, the house is on over 1,100 sqm and has access to the rear garden, double garage and carport from Ford Street at the rear.
This is a truly stunning example of early 1900s architecture.
