Behind its charming Victorian façade lies a home that has been thoughtfully transformed over six years into something truly special, a home where history, craftsmanship and contemporary living exist in perfect harmony.
• Originally constructed in the 1880s for a local confectioner, this beautiful cottage has been meticulously restored with an unwavering commitment to preserving its character while embracing modern family living.
• Every decision throughout the renovation was guided by a simple philosophy: respect the story of the home and allow each chapter of its history to remain visible.
• A traditional central hallway welcomes you inside, where soaring ceilings, elegant stepped cornices, original fireplaces and period detailing immediately evoke the grandeur of the Victorian era. Bathed in natural light, the home's original proportions create an inviting sense of space and timeless elegance.
• As you move through the home, the experience unfolds beautifully before revealing its breathtaking centrepiece. An original bedroom has been transformed into an extraordinary cathedral-ceiling kitchen, where the ceiling rises dramatically to the original roofline, creating a spectacular sense of volume and light. Carefully illuminated display windows showcase sections of the home's original cedar shingles, celebrating the craftsmanship of generations past while creating a striking architectural feature unlike anything else.
• Beyond the kitchen, the home transitions naturally into warm and intimate living spaces. Rather than concealing its history, the design embraces it, creating a home that feels both authentic and deeply welcoming.
• The kitchen offers a Bosch ceramic glass cooktop and oven, Smeg dishwasher, Gessi tapware, premium Italian ceramic tiles and generous cupboard storage.
• Thoughtfully reconfigured for modern living, the home offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, a fully renovated bathroom tiled in Italian stone, plus an additional outdoor toilet.
• Every element of this renovation has been carefully considered, not to recreate the past, but to celebrate it. The result is a home where genuine craftsmanship meets contemporary comfort.
• A careful curation of the next chapter in the life of one of Ballarat's enduring Victorian cottages, a home that invites you to become part of its story while enjoying all the comforts of modern living.
• Situated just five minutes to the Ballarat CBD, as well as shops, schools, Lake Esmond, Sovereign Hill and medical facilities, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience and lifestyle.
