Well here’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along every day. Let’s begin with location. The home being situated on a quiet stretch of Gregory Street, is not only about a two minute walk to Lake Wendouree, but is also around the same distance from Ballarat Grammar and the Howitt Street Shopping Centre (without being too close to the hustle & bustle). The allotment itself is attractive at approximately 1100m2, so plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and for kids to explore. Now let’s get started on the home. The minute you step onto the front verandah you know you have just walked into something special. Even from the front gate you start to feel it. Once that front door opens up you really start to feel the character and charm of the home. The ceilings are approximately 14ft and still boast the gorgeous pressed metal. Absolutely stunning. Leadlight windows are another lovely feature of the home along with the bay windows. All four bedrooms have built in robes, two with fire places and split system heating/cooling units. Floor boards give a natural feeling of warmth to the home. Central heating and a further two split systems located throughout the home keep you warm in winter and very cool in the summer months. A gorgeous mantel sits proudly in a very impressive formal living area, again, just oozing elegance. Two separate bathrooms always come in handy especially for the larger family. While we are talking about handy, the storage room right next to the back doors is rather large and could even be utilized as a little study if needed. A timber kitchen with stainless steel appliances including dishwasher and formal dining area are located towards the rear of the home and give lovely views out to the expansive yard. A decked entertaining area faces off to the north and is just the spot to enjoy either the morning sun at breakfast or to sit outside on a warm summer evening with a glass of wine for mum and a beer for dad while the kids are off on their own adventures. Or if the mood takes you, just into the spa to relax. This period home is absolutely lovely. Inspect to truly appreciate all it has to offer.
