WITH dignity and grace, this home holds its own in the fashionable part of Sturt Street.
And while a modern fresh face-lift may be on the cards for the double storey mansion, many existing features will excite.
A spacious entrance vestibule has French doors off to both sides. Taking pride of place is the regal timber staircase, originally from a major bank in Sturt Street.
One set of glass and timber doors lead to a bright front office. From here folding timber doors open up to a massive master bedroom with a glittering wall of mirrored built-in robes. A downstairs bathroom has a double vanity and could easily be re-configured into an en suite.
The other set of French doors show the way to a generous formal lounge. Sliding glass and timber doors open to the formal dining. Beyond this is a lovely sun-filled breakfast room adjacent to the functional, compact kitchen that overlooks the backyard and tree-filled neighbourhood.
A south facing private deck sits just outside the kitchen and informal meals. Glassed in, a quaint porch leads from the oversized laundry out to the backyard.
Upstairs has virtually the same floor space as down. Called the gallery on the original plans, a long room runs across the front of upstairs and could be turned into any number of stunning spaces. There are another three bedrooms on the top floor, two a good size and the third huge. A second bathroom has a tub.
The backyard has beautiful weeping birch and Japanese maple trees.
Close to Ballarat’s best colleges, the lake and Pleasant Street shops, this is a home with street presence.
