This stunning, double-fronted, circa 1870s Victorian home is perfect for a busy family. Sitting behind an attractive picket fence and formal landscaped gardens with driving circuit and automated gate, this is one of Ballarat's most sought-after addresses.

Charming features include historical lead-light windows and restored doors, marble fire places with gas log fires, and crystal chandeliers. A wide entrance hallway leads to a formal living room or second bedroom, with soaring ceilings and leafy vistas. The main bedroom retains plenty of period charm, with a walk-through robe and spectacular ensuite. The other bedrooms have copious storage and are serviced by a glamourous bathroom with a bath and frameless shower.

Beautifully appointed with hand-crafted joinery and storage cabinets, the study also functions as a fifth bedroom. Entertainers will revel in the beautifully designed kitchen, with granite benchtops and splashbacks, Miele appliances and a remarkable butler's pantry.

Open plan dining is complemented with a spacious family living room, which opens to a private, fully landscaped rear garden.

Other features include a ducted vacuum system, solid timber flooring, imported marble and tiling, atmospheric lighting, hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, 6 Star rating insulation, double glazed windows, and a fully integrated security and intercom system with recording cameras.

The landscaped gardens include automatic sprinkler systems, while the large garage and additional carport provide extra storage.
