Architectural sophistication, timeless character and family luxury in a location that speaks for itself.
Some homes stand apart from the moment you arrive. Set within one of Newington’s most tightly held streets, this exceptional residence brings together the elegance of a traditional period home with the scale, design and sophistication of a striking contemporary family retreat.
Occupying approximately 623m², moments from the rear entrance to Ballarat & Clarendon College and around 750 metres from Lake Wendouree, this is a property where quality, location and lifestyle converge.
Behind its charming street presence lies a substantial transformation, with the original home's character thoughtfully complemented by a bold two-storey rear extension. The result is a residence that feels both timeless and distinctly modern, with an emphasis on space, natural light and effortless family living.
Inside, the traditional front rooms provide a beautiful introduction, with impressive ceiling heights, intricate period detailing and rich timber flooring creating warmth and character. These versatile spaces are ideal for bedrooms, guests or working from home, offering a sense of separation from the expansive living areas beyond.
The home opens into a spectacular central living environment, where generous proportions and extensive glazing establish a strong connection to the outdoor entertaining area. The kitchen takes centre stage, combining dramatic natural marble, streamlined dark cabinetry and a comprehensive collection of premium appliances. A generous walk-in pantry keeps everyday essentials tucked away, allowing the kitchen to remain both functional and visually impressive.
Designed with entertaining firmly in mind, the adjoining living spaces flow towards a dedicated poolside retreat. Exposed recycled brick introduces texture and warmth, while expansive stacking doors open the room to the solar-heated swimming pool, creating an inviting setting for summer afternoons, relaxed weekends and gatherings with family and friends. A separate powder room adds further convenience.
The main bedroom is positioned privately on the ground floor, offering a peaceful escape complete with a beautifully finished ensuite and a substantial walk-in robe featuring extensive custom cabinetry. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms are complemented by a separate children's retreat and a central family bathroom, providing excellent flexibility for families of different ages and stages.
Beyond the design and finishes, the home delivers an impressive level of everyday practicality. A fully fitted laundry, dedicated mudroom, extensive storage and direct access to the three-car garage ensure the finer details of family life have been carefully considered. A separately secured storage room or workshop provides additional versatility.
Comfort is equally well catered for, with hydronic heating, evaporative cooling to the lower level, split-system climate control upstairs and a ducted vacuum system.
