This original 1930s art-deco era home sits on a substantial 1012sqm block in Ballarat’s most historic and elegant tree lined boulevard, right in the heart of the CBD.
Framed by leafy mature trees and a beautiful garden, this home bears the symmetry and curved lines which characterise the era. As visually striking as it is totally functional, this solid brick family home features curved facades, decorative brickwork and a beautiful balcony on the upper storey.
The entrance hall is grand, featuring polished floorboards, bespoke timber staircase, wooden wainscot panelled stairwell and timber balustrade with art deco floral motifs. The hall opens on one side to a large formal lounge with original bay window looking out over the park-like front garden. To the other side, the hall opens to the formal dining room which overlooks the expansive and lush gardens of the backyard.
Also on the ground floor are two generous bedrooms. The master includes timber panelled built in robes. Both bedrooms have an ensuite, the second doubling as a family bathroom. Across the hall is a large study which is also suitable for use as a fifth bedroom. At the rear of the home is a modern timber-look kitchen which is open to the dining room. With modern gas appliances, glass tiled splashback, built-in pantry, ample storage and granite bench space, this part of the house is more open in plan. It is a modern and very practical kitchen which is sympathetic to the period. Adjacent is a light and airy living area which opens through glass sliding doors to a stylish outdoor deck and the leafy, green back garden.
Upstairs are two more large bedrooms, a separate living room and the family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is at the front of the house and features a large private balcony where you could enjoy a private breakfast in the morning while looking out over the treetops.
Outside, the gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature trees, leafy borders and a large and inviting lawn. There’s room to play and room to entertain in this botanical paradise. There’s plenty of room for your vehicles, with 3 carports and a single garage.
