Located in Soldiers Hill, right in the heart of Ballarat’s important heritage area, sits a beautifully updated Californian Bungalow. With superb blending of period features with modern interiors, the home sits on a large 1164m2 (approx.) block.
Incorporating classic elements such as the picket fence, bow front with decorative weatherboard scalloping and original leadlight windows, this home owns its history. Yet step inside to discover a light, bright modern interior which retains period features including high ceilings and ceiling roses, sash windows, picture rails, and open fireplaces with mantel.
Each of the three bedrooms have BIRs. The beautiful master bedroom is inviting and tranquil. A bay window with leadlight features provides views over leafy Ballarat hills while the open fireplace keeps the room cosy and romantic during cold nights. The adjoining ensuite includes contemporary features including glass-walled shower with niche, above bench vanity basin and toilet. Similarly, the fully tiled family bathroom is contemporary with rain head shower and modern freestanding stone bath.
There are two living spaces including a formal lounge at the front of the home and an open plan kitchen, meals and family area at the rear. Everything you need is at hand in this kitchen, including stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, stone benchtops, mirrored splashback, modern tapware and ample storage and bench space. The dining area opens to a stunning covered deck with ceiling fan, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The rear gardens are low maintenance, and the yard has more than enough room for entertaining, enjoying the paved firepit beneath the gum trees at the rear of the block, and outdoor games or extra space for seating on the raised concrete area. At the end of a fully concreted driveway leading up past the side of the home is a 4-car garage with extra storage space.
The updating of this home has been done with care and flair, using quality fixtures and fittings throughout. With its period features, modern conveniences, spacious allotment and charming interior, this property is a gem. With the unrivalled lifestyle of its Soldiers Hill location, the property is close to the CBD, Lake Wendouree, and amenities including schools, cafes, and public transport.
