A distinguished example of 1920s California Bungalow architecture, this beautifully extended and renovated residence blends timeless character with contemporary family living. Guided by architect Peter Dunn and brought to life by builder Tim Williams in 1999, the thoughtful extension integrates seamlessly with the original home, creating a sophisticated balance of heritage elegance and modern function.
Set on an expansive 1,028sqm (approx.), the home reveals four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dedicated study, and a series of inviting living and dining spaces. The original rooms showcase exquisite leadlight windows, polished timber floors, high ceilings, and a gas log fire in the formal lounge, while the light-filled rear extension introduces double-glazed windows, a spacious kitchen with bespoke cabinetry and granite benchtops, and a relaxed meals and living zone opening to the deck. Upstairs, the cleverly reimagined roof cavity accommodates two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a study bathed in natural light from Velux skylights.
Modern comforts include gas central heating, split system air conditioning, ducted vacuum, underfloor insulation upstairs, and ample storage throughout, including concealed roof cavity access. Outdoors, the landscaped garden is complemented by multiple sheds, secure storage, a walk-in pet enclosure, and a 1.5kWh solar system. A double carport plus additional covered parking complete the home’s practicality.
Just 250 metres from the shores of Lake Wendouree, this character-rich home is ideally positioned close to cycling and walking paths, leading schools including Pleasant Street Primary and Ballarat Clarendon Junior, Hospitals, and local dining. Offering period charm, architectural foresight, and a lifestyle of rare convenience, it represents an outstanding opportunity in one of Ballarat’s most coveted addresses.
