With attention to detail, this solid brick home, created by a builder for his family, is pure quality throughout. Real stained glass surrounds the front door and frame windows in the formal lounge, dining and master bedroom.

With views of Victoria Park, the front lounge has a magnificent vaulted ceiling, bay windows, and gas log fire place.

Wide, the entrance hall has impressive bulkheads, decorative hallway arch and picture rails. Off this is the master suite, a spacious room with splendid parkland vista. There is a walk-in robe and en suite that has a shower across an entire wall, timber and brass fittings and floral tile detail.

Jarrah floorboards sweep through from the entrance into the main living, dining and kitchen area at the back. A central kitchen has Blackwood cabinetry, stone benchtops and stainless steel appliances. Soaring ceilings with skylights and large windows bathe the area in natural light.

Outside are several alfresco areas accessed via two sets of double doors. Close to the kitchen is an undercover deck and barbecue area. Around the corner a tiled courtyard is surrounded by pretty established garden beds.

A laundry, powder room and double lock-up garage finish off the ground floor.

A timber staircase stretches to the upper level to another two bedrooms and bathroom with tub. Making the most of the roof space is a delightful, snug office with built in desk, drawers and skylight.

Surrounded by green parks and ovals, this property has the pick of Ballarat’s schools at its doorstep and is minutes to the lake and the CBD.
