Step into a remarkable piece of Ballarat history. What was once an 1890s butcher shop has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm, character filled family home full of charm and personality.
With standout street appeal and rich heritage features throughout, this is anything but an ordinary renovation. Inside, original craftsmanship blends effortlessly with creative touches and practical updates, giving the home a truly one of a kind feel.
A wide, welcoming hallway sets the scene, showcasing beautifully resanded timber floors and high ceilings that add a wonderful sense of space. Restored shiplap cladding and several original fireplaces keep the home's history front and centre.
Four generous bedrooms lead off the hallway, each with built in robes and plenty of natural light. Two include original fireplaces, and the large front room offers great flexibility as a master bedroom, a work from home space, or even a second living area. Storage is plentiful throughout.
Further along, the formal dining and living room provides an inviting space to gather, complete with an ornate fireplace and leafy views that create a warm, relaxed atmosphere for meals and entertaining.
Opposite, the kitchen and main family living zone bring a real sense of comfort. With garden views on all sides, this open plan area features a rustic exposed brick fireplace, timber benchtops, integrated dishwasher, a 900mm oven and cooktop, and excellent storage. It is the kind of kitchen where you will want to cook, chat, and stay a while. French doors open onto a sunlit deck leading to an established garden that feels private and peaceful.
The main bathroom is a standout, offering a walk in tiled shower, stone vanity, and a freestanding bath that creates a true retreat feel. A nearby powder room with a second toilet adds convenience. The adjoining laundry is both practical and character filled, with French doors opening to another decked alfresco area, perfect for your morning coffee or casual entertaining.
Comfort is assured year round thanks to efficient gas central heating and wide opening doors that invite in cool breezes. NBN and cable internet provide strong connectivity for those working from home.
Outside, the garden wraps around the home and offers multiple places to relax, entertain, or simply potter. A mix of flowering plants, established shrubs, and various fruit trees make it ideal for garden lovers. A fully powered double garage and carport provide plenty of room for cars, trailers, or workshop space.
The location is hard to beat. You are just 5 minutes from the Ballarat CBD, only a short walk to schools, shops, and public transport, and directly opposite a lovely park with open green space. Black Hill Reserve, with its walking and mountain bike tracks, is right at your doorstep.
