Overview

Set within a serene and leafy street just minutes from Ballarat’s vibrant CBD, this impeccably preserved heritage home marries classic charm with versatile living options. The property's rare combination of period character and practical modern updates offers a distinctive lifestyle choice in a highly sought-after location.

The standout feature is a substantial rear outbuilding, already equipped with modern utilities including NBN internet, water, and electricity, providing a unique opportunity to create a self-contained studio, guest quarters, home office, or multi-generational living space subject to council approval. This adaptability is enhanced by the home’s proven success as an Airbnb, yielding strong and consistently positive guest reviews, highlighting its income-generating potential while maintaining owner-occupier comfort.

Beyond its economic benefits, the residence boasts original period features thoughtfully integrated with contemporary enhancements, set behind a charming white picket fence. The manageable gardens and off-street parking contribute to a low-maintenance yet welcoming environment, with scope for further extensions if desired. Its location encourages a walk-everywhere lifestyle, with easy access to local dining, healthcare services, and major attractions, appealing to a diverse range of buyers including families, investors, and lifestyle seekers.

Offering three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home presents a balanced blend of heritage allure and practical living, complemented by the unique potential for additional accommodation. The opportunity to live in a character-filled residence while capitalising on an established short-term rental income stream positions this property as a standout in the city-fringe market.
