This wonderful period home has been tastefully updated to improve on functionality, while maintaining its rich heritage character.

Typical of historic homes built in the early 1900s, the front porch provides a breathtaking entrance to this charming abode.

It's filled with character and charm throughout, from wonderful fireplaces and mantelpieces, to gorgeous windows that let in the sun the entire day.

The front sitting room provides an idyllic setting to enjoy a morning cup of tea, while the rear of the property houses the updated kitchen, fitted with a chef quality 900 millimetre cooktop and a dishwasher.

The current formal dining room can be easily converted back into a third bedroom, study, or second sitting room if desired.

The rear bathroom captures fantastic afternoon sun, which can be enjoyed from the spa bath while winding down.

Updated with new German engineered flooring and five-star quality insulation throughout, this provides modern comfort while maintaining the character of a bygone era.

The backyard is ideal for entertaining guests, landscaped to perfection with paving and plenty of room undercover.

Within walking distance to Ballarat's CBD and an abundance of cafés, shops and history, there are also secluded walking trails along the Yarrowee River just a stone's throw away.

Properties such as this don't hit the market every day. Enquire today about an inspection to secure your piece of Ballarat's history.
