This stunningly restored 1890s’ period solid brick home has been classically renovated to reflect its grand era of architecture. From the bull nose veranda with original iron lace work, charming elegant archways, polished Baltic-pine floors, Dorset’s historic features have all been carefully brought back to their original beauty. With 14 foot ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, each room has an open fire with original mantles giving a truly historic feel while providing every modern comfort. There are three very generous bedrooms (the master with full en suite) and two separate living areas. The large open plan kitchen and meals area features glass bi-fold doors that open onto a fully landscaped back garden complete with water feature which can be enjoyed from the large deck, protected by retractable shade sails. The stunning light-filled kitchen with 900mm SS stove, SS dishwasher and appliance cupboard is a joy to be in! In the main bathroom the original claw foot bath has been classically restored and given a new life. A short stroll from Lake Wendouree, hospitals, CBD and Ballarat Railway Station, this home is perfectly positioned for those seeking an inner city lifestyle and a piece of Ballarats history. Complete with gas central heating, garden shed and off-street parking.
