Extraordinary Designer Residence with Endless Possibilities
Some homes are simply different. Beautifully individual, rich in character and thoughtfully designed, this remarkable Soldiers Hill residence offers a lifestyle that's anything but ordinary.
Originally dating back to the 1890s and extensively transformed by its interior designer owner, this bespoke property brings together the warmth of natural timber, exposed brick and stone with polished concrete, custom
joinery and striking architectural features. Every space has been carefully considered, creating a home that is as functional and comfortable as it is visually captivating.
Beyond its distinctive street frontage lies a private designer residence, complemented by a separately accessed three-room commercial space offering exceptional versatility, an established rental history and
genuine income potential.
A Home Designed for Living and Entertaining
At the heart of the residence, soaring pitched timber-lined ceilings create a wonderful sense of space, while a large gas log fireplace brings warmth and atmosphere to the light-filled open-plan living and dining area.
The beautifully appointed designer kitchen features stone benchtops, quality appliances and custom cabinetry, with a clever gas-strut window opening directly onto a built-in timber bar. This seamless connection to the garden makes indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless.
A spectacular sunken lounge and theatre retreat provides a second, entirely separate living space. Featuring two custom-built queen-sized daybeds, it's the perfect place for cosy movie nights, quiet afternoons or
accommodating overnight guests.
The master suite is a retreat of its own, featuring an elevated loft-style sleeping area, extensive custom-
designed dressing room and private ensuite. Two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom complete the residential accommodation.
A Private Garden Sanctuary
Step outside into a lush, tropical-inspired oasis, where natural bluestone, timber decking, bamboo and
established greenery create a wonderfully peaceful and private setting.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, this beautiful outdoor space feels remarkably secluded despite
the home's central location.
Secure gated access from Doveton Street provides a separate, private entrance to the residence, independent of the Macarthur Street frontage.
One Property. So Many Possibilities.
What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional versatility.
The separately accessed three-room commercial component, complete with its own kitchenette and powder room, offers an opportunity to combine a beautiful home with a professional practice, creative studio or home-
based business.
Continuously tenanted for approximately 10 years, the commercial component has an established rental history and has only recently become available, giving the incoming owner the flexibility to occupy the space themselves or explore a new tenancy.
Independent rental appraisals indicate a potential return of $600 per week for the unfurnished residence and $495 per week for the commercial component (including GST and outgoings). Together, these represent combined indicative gross rental receipts of $1,095 per week, or $56,940 annually, before applicable
expenses and adjustments.
Whether you're seeking an extraordinary private residence, the convenience of living and working from one address, or an investment with two potential income streams, this property offers remarkable flexibility, subject
to applicable planning and use requirements.
A Complete Designer Lifestyle
For those who love the home's distinctive interiors, there is also the opportunity to purchase the property fully furnished, with a curated collection of designer-selected and custom-made pieces available by separate negotiation.

Perfectly positioned in one of Ballarat's most desirable and established neighbourhoods, the property is approximately 900 metres from Lake Wendouree and just one kilometre from Ballarat Railway Station.
Enjoy morning walks around the lake, nearby cafés, easy access to the CBD and the convenience of having everything close to home.
