Behind a captivating Victorian facade, framed by a classic picket fence, established gardens and a welcoming veranda, lies one of Soldiers Hill's most remarkable residential offerings. Set on approximately 1,020sqm (a quarter of an acre) in one of Ballarat's most tightly held blue-chip locations, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends heritage charm with cutting-edge contemporary design to create a home of exceptional calibre.
Architecturally designed by Project Now Architects, every element of this stunning residence has been meticulously considered, resulting in a home that delivers uncompromising quality, effortless functionality and a lifestyle of absolute luxury. Beyond the preserved period facade, the home unfolds into a breathtaking contemporary extension where soaring ceilings, expansive glazing and carefully curated finishes create an overwhelming sense of space, light and sophistication. Natural light pours through the interiors, illuminating bespoke joinery, custom cabinetry and the exceptional craftsmanship showcased throughout.
At the heart of the home, an expansive open-plan living and dining domain forms the centrepiece of everyday living. Designed for both family connection and grand-scale entertaining, this remarkable space is anchored by a cosy gas log fireplace and seamlessly connects to the outdoor entertaining precinct through extensive glazing and thoughtfully designed transitions. The designer kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring premium finishes, exceptional storage, and the added luxury of a fully equipped butler's pantry. Offering a seamless connection to the surrounding living spaces, it is perfectly tailored for both everyday family life and hosting on any scale.
Accommodation is exceptionally versatile, offering up to five bedrooms thoughtfully arranged across the layout. The luxurious ground-floor master suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a generous walk-in robe, bespoke cabinetry and a beautifully appointed ensuite. Also on the main levels are a fourth bedroom with built-in robes and a highly flexible fifth bedroom space, ideal as a dedicated home office or additional quiet retreat.
Upstairs, a dedicated family zone features two generously proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes, centred around a spacious rumpus room and serviced by a stylish family bathroom.
The lower level further enhances the home's capability, incorporating a substantial laundry, extensive storage solutions including dedicated under-stair storage, and an oversized secure garage complete with a workshop area. Adjoining the garage is an adaptable bonus room, perfectly suited to serve as a home office, private theatre room, music room or extra lounge.
Outside, the home's resort-inspired entertaining precinct rivals that of a luxury retreat. A heated tiled concrete swimming pool forms the centre piece of the backyard, complemented by an expansive alfresco entertaining area designed for year-round enjoyment. Complete with concrete benchtops, custom outdoor cabinetry, integrated cooking facilities, bar amenities, outdoor heating and ceiling fans, it provides a superb setting for both relaxed family living and effortless entertaining.
Every modern comfort and convenience has been seamlessly integrated, including keyless entry, hydronic heating throughout, heated towel rails, and multiple split-system units for precise climate control. A built-in Retraflex retractable vacuum hose system with multiple points throughout the home adds ultimate day-to-day ease. An impressive solar system enhances energy efficiency, while a discreet 2,000-litre water tank further contributes to its sustainability credentials.
Positioned in the absolute heart of Soldiers Hill, you are just moments from vibrant local cafes, top-tier schooling, Ballarat Train Station, and the CBD, offering the ultimate in walkability and lifestyle convenience.
Offering a rare combination of historic character, award-worthy architectural design, uncompromising craftsmanship and expansive family functionality, this is a residence that stands apart from anything else currently available in the Ballarat market.
