Set on Ballarat's most exclusive Parade with remarkable views of Lake Wendouree, this is a truly rare find of approximately 650 square metres, with a north facing rear yard in a prestigious location.

The stunning double storey family home is detailed throughout. Double doors open up into an inviting foyer, which leads into the large formal lounge/dining room with gas log fire and stunning windows overlooking Lake Wendouree.

Opposite is a study/home office/library, while the hallway continues to the open plan family living/lounge with kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has granite benchtops, 900 millimetre gas hotplates and oven, a dishwasher and butler's pantry. There's also a second full kitchen, with oven and gas hotplates, dishwasher and second fridge space, perfect for dinner parties.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, the master bedroom complete with ensuite and a large walk-in-robe, while the three additional bedrooms have built-in-robes. There's also a front lounge/kids retreat area, a gym or second living area and the main family bathroom.

From the living area downstairs are two outdoor entertaining areas; a barbecue area and an indoor, salt/chlorinated pool with a north facing deck area. Additional features include double glazed windows, central heating and cooling throughout, a surround sound system and monitored security alarm.

The obvious highlight is the magnificent location. Enjoy the wonderful seasonal changes Lake Wendouree provides, along with everything Ballarat has to offer: easy access to hospitals, private schooling and just over an hour drive into the heart of Melbourne.
