516 Barkly Street, Golden Point VIC 3350

This character filled period residence, located close to the heart of Ballarat, has belonged to its current family for 81 years and as such presents a unique opportunity for potential purchasers.

'Llanfyllin' is a fine, solid brick residence built circa 1890, boasting an iconic Victorian facade with original iron lace work, full height, rendered Italianate bay windows, a bull nose veranda (recently re-roofed), exquisite detailing and a suite of enchanting lead light windows. It is one of an exclusive collection of homes of this period around central Ballarat by renowned architect W.E. Gribble incorporating fully engineered block and foundations which continue to ensure structural stability and cater for the grandeur of this four bedroom home. This home sits on the corner of Cameron Street and Barkly tucked perfectly between Llanberris Athletics and White Flat recreation reserves only minutes from the city centre.

The interior is rich with features and overall romantic flair while delivering a user friendly floor plan. Its striking arched hallway and black japan floorboards make a memorable first impression. There's a splendid, light filled formal lounge, spacious formal dining room with superb lead light feature, three queen size bedrooms, a 'maid's room' (study or fourth bedroom), bathroom, delightful sitting area to the rear and a classic country kitchen with walk in pantry and separate butler's pantry incorporating European styled laundry. Hydronic heating has been installed throughout, there's air conditioned zones and a full roof replacement occurred in recent years.

The many period features include adorned 14ft ceilings, various art nouveau style trims, deep skirts, four open fireplaces with timber mantles, generous hall closet and kitchen storage and a cellar room ready to cater for your finest wine collection.

The large single carport is positioned to the rear, with a gorgeous decked alfresco zone surrounded by a private green wall and low care gardens.

Superbly preserved and sympathetically updated, this home is steeped in history and can be inspected by booking a private viewing, or will be on show to the public prior to the upcoming Auction.

This is a rare opportunity to make this home the heart of your family's lifestyle, while also owning one of Ballarat's most spectacular period homes.
