A statement in refinement and architectural distinction, Lyon House is a residence where historic grandeur is elevated by contemporary luxury. Positioned within one of Ballarat’s most coveted inner-city precincts, this remarkable home places you moments from Ballarat Base Hospital, St John of God Hospital, Ballarat Train Station, leading schools including Clarendon College, St Patrick’s College and Loreto College, while the vibrant CBD, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions are all within easy reach.
Behind its distinguished façade lies a residence of rare calibre, where every detail has been thoughtfully curated to honour the past while embracing modern living.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s sense of occasion is undeniable. Exquisite stained-glass windows, marble tiling and textured stucco walls form a rich material palette, with each element carefully preserved or reimagined to create a seamless balance between heritage character and contemporary sophistication.
A dramatic entrance sets the tone, where bespoke feature lighting illuminates the home’s central staircase and introduces interiors of remarkable scale and elegance.
The living domain is both grand and versatile. Twin living rooms unfold in seamless symmetry, connected by dual bi-fold doors that allow streams of natural light to cascade throughout the home, while also offering flexibility to create a ground-floor master suite if desired.
The warmth of a dedicated wood-fire retreat flows effortlessly into the conservatory-style kitchen and dining zone, a space framed by garden outlooks and designed for both intimate family living and large-scale entertaining. The impressive chef’s kitchen features dual wall ovens, an oversized integrated refrigerator and freezer, and an induction cooktop, while comfortably accommodating a fourteen-seat dining setting. A substantial walk-in pantry, complete with integrated dishwasher and sink, delivers exceptional functionality and storage.
Upstairs, a charming library nook provides the perfect place to work from home or unwind with a book and a glass of wine. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms occupy this level, highlighted by a magnificent master suite positioned at the front of the home. An elegant ensuite and beautifully fitted walk-in robe create a luxurious retreat of grand proportions.
The second bedroom is equally impressive, showcasing generous dimensions, restored original robes, intricate wall detailing and a striking feature fireplace.
At the rear, the former stables have been transformed into a private resort-inspired sanctuary. A plunge pool forms the centrepiece of this secluded space, offering the perfect environment for family gatherings, quiet relaxation, yoga, exercise or a refreshing swim.
Set on approximately 505sqm of prized blue-chip land, Lyon House presents a rare opportunity to secure one of Ballarat’s finest period homes in an unrivalled lifestyle location—where world-class healthcare, prestigious schooling, transport connections and the very best of Ballarat’s dining and entertainment scene are all just moments from your door.
