Surrounded by trees, this contemporary residence enjoys a lush address with access to Lake Wendouree. Hire some gear and get out on the water canoeing, kayaking and sailing, or circle the lake and explore the Botanical Gardens. Get your culture fix at the Art Gallery of Ballarat or delve into the region’s culinary scene. Beautifully presented, this home is staged over two levels with dual living areas, a dedicated workspace and gorgeous indoor-outdoor flow that captures the crisp country air.
With its contemporary black façade sitting contrastingly among a canopy of trees, this home is instantly impressive. Stepping inside, its modern interiors are flooded in natural light, with free-flowing living spaces that open to the peaceful country garden.
The gourmet kitchen is designed around a central island bench, kitted with top-quality stainless-steel appliances for cooking up a feast. Guests can gather around the large dining table, opening the doors to allow the natural breezes to stream through. Accommodating groups, there are dual lounge spaces to spread out, with plush sofa seating and a central TV. A powder room and internal laundry on the lower level add to your everyday convenience.
Heading upstairs you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms. The master suite is generously sized and features a study nook overlooking the trees. It benefits from a walk-in wardrobe leading through to a private ensuite bathroom replete with a bathtub and rain shower. Each of the two remaining bedrooms contain a queen-sized bed, set with side tables and reading lights. The combination of air-conditioning and heating throughout keep things comfortable no matter what season you’re travelling. The main bathroom is located upstairs and is immaculately appointed with boutique toiletries for your stay.
Parking is provided in the garage and on the driveway.
Lake Wendouree is a charming suburb of Ballarat, less than five minutes’ drive from the CBD. Its namesake lake is a popular spot for fishing, sailing, and rowing, and is home to running and cycling trails, picnic spots and playgrounds. In central Ballarat, wander down Lydiard and Camps streets to take in the area’s spectacular Victorian architecture. Visit Sovereign Hill for a taste of the 1850s gold-rush era and discover one of the country’s best regional galleries at Art Gallery of Ballarat. Get caffeinated at L’espresso, brunch at Fika Coffee Brewers, sit down to high tea at Craig’s Royal Hotel and sample local drops at Mitchell Harris Wines.
