Commanding presence, enduring quality and refined elegance define 'Clifton', an iconic Ararat residence built in 1948. This stately triple-frontage, double-brick period home with a classic terracotta roof is a rare offering-perfectly suited to the executive buyer seeking space, privacy and prestige without compromise.
From the moment you enter, the wide entrance hall and soaring ceilings immediately establish the home's sense of scale and authority. Every room reflects the craftsmanship of its era, enhanced by thoughtful design and generous proportions.
The main residence features two substantial executive bedrooms, each with extensive built-in robes. The master suite is a private retreat, complete with a separate walk-in robe and direct access to the central bathroom, which is beautifully appointed with a double vanity, shower, toilet and spa bath.
A third room offers flexibility as a bedroom, study/office or sitting room and provides versatility for professional use, featuring a built-in desk and a stone framed fireplace updated with gas heating-ideal as a refined home office or executive lounge.
Entertaining is elevated in the formal dining room, accessed through impressive double doors. Decorative ceilings and elegant in-built arched shelving create a distinguished setting, well suited to entertaining family, friends or guests.
The arch shaped family living room off the kitchen is equally impressive, showcasing floor-to-ceiling leadlight windows that capture tranquil garden views of Mt Langi Ghiran and well-established gardens. A sliding door provides ease of access between the kitchen and a vine-covered shaded entertaining area. In-built shelving, gas heating and a split system ensure year-round comfort and functionality, making this space ideal for relaxed executive living.
The kitchen has been intelligently designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring an island bench, a walk-in pantry, double sink, electric cooktop, dishwasher, dual ovens and abundant storage, all framing picturesque garden views.
Additional conveniences include a well-appointed laundry with excellent storage, a separate toilet and a separate shower, and ducted gas heating throughout the home.
Outdoors, the residence is surrounded by exceptional private gardens-a true sanctuary. Mature trees, manicured rose beds, a vine-covered shaded entertaining area, a garden arbour and a tranquil fountain create a setting of peace and seclusion. The gardens are fully irrigated via an automated watering system and supported by rainwater tanks, each with their own electric pump, ensuring effortless upkeep.
Discreetly positioned within the grounds is a self-contained two-bedroom unit, both bedrooms featuring built-in robes and bathroom facilities. This space is ideal for executive guests, extended family, or independent accommodation for older children-offering privacy without separation.
Completing this exceptional offering is a double garage with electric doors, providing secure and convenient off-street parking.
Rarely does a residence of this calibre, stature and versatility become available. 'Clifton' is an executive home of substance-an address that speaks to success, heritage and refined living.
