A perfect blend of character, comfort and location, this home is a rare offering in a prized lifestyle pocket awaiting your inspection.
Ideally positioned just a four-minute stroll from Ballarat Train Station, this beautifully presented, and impeccably restored period home offers a lifestyle of access, ease and pleasure in one of the city’s most tightly held and desirable pockets—Soldiers Hill.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this distinguished home places you at the heart of Ballarat’s vibrant cultural and culinary precinct. With beautiful cafes, galleries and gastro pubs just moments from your doorstep and the full suite of CBD attractions – boutique shopping, fine dining, wine bars, cinemas and exhibitions – this is a home in the heart of a safe and beautiful walking suburb close to nature, sports and Ballarat’s storied festivals and celebrated events.
Behind its classic façade you will be greeted by a wide central hallway, polished hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and original fretwork and fireplaces, capturing the best of Ballarat’s heritage. The thoughtful upgrades include a full front renovation complete with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious laundry and a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.
The master bedroom, set back from the street, is finished with a luxurious skylight bathing the room with natural light. The space feels generous and finished off to the highest of standards, complete with an ensuite tastefully renovated to blend modern convenience with timeless elegance.
With three additional bedrooms, one with instant flexibility to become a second living room or home office, all rooms are expansive with high-ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and an abundance of natural light.
A large laundry and tastefully renovated family bathroom with clawfoot bath provide further convenience for modern family living.
At the rear, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is warm and welcoming with solid timber flooring, full-length windows and garden views along with easy scope to enhance or extend (STCA) to truly make it your own.
The large, timeless timber kitchen is well proportioned and offers an abundance of space to prepare and entertain indoors. It also has direct access to an outdoor entertaining deck overlooking an expansive lawn and borrowed views of Black Hill’s forest, idyllic country gardens and Ballarat’s beautiful 19th century clock towers.
Cleverly positioned toward the front of the property, behind the original federation-era building envelope, an expansive backyard presents endless opportunity. A generous decked entertaining area flows to a double-length, private garden. Currently featuring a large 6 x 12m Colourbond shed, including a well-equipped workshop inside and wide-side access for vehicles, the rear garden offers a canvas to inspire any homeowner’s imagination with more than enough space for children to play, a future pool or an additional building extension (STCA).
From spacious interiors with sweeping movement and uninterrupted views of Ballarat’s stunning heritage skyline, this is a home that feels all at once – a private retreat with a stunning backdrop, a home in the heart of Ballarat’s storied food and culture scene and a place to share evenings with friends beneath the stars with a glass of champagne in hand.
