If you've been searching for a home full of character, charm, and future potential, then this beautiful period home is one you won't want to miss. Estimated to be around 90 years old, the home is filled with original character, from the inviting front porch to the polished Baltic pine floorboards, decorative cornices, stunning stained-glass feature window, and soaring high ceilings that flood the home with natural light. Offering two generous bedrooms and a central family bathroom, the home also features a light-filled open-plan kitchen, meals, and living area. The charming country-style kitchen includes a farmhouse sink, quality 900mm freestanding stainless steel oven, while the open fireplace, ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling, provide year-round comfort. Step outside to a fantastic front and rear deck overlooking the fully fenced yard, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the generous 849m² allotment. There's also off-street parking, as well as a bin store and an external laundry currently being utilised as additional storage. Beyond the home itself, the opportunities here are exceptional. The property comes with options for use as a medical centre (planning permit and endorsed plans), while the generous land size, possibility of rear laneway vehicle access, and prominent main road position, also make it an excellent prospect for future multi-dwelling/commercial development, subject to council approval. Located just minutes from Ballarat's CBD, schools, shopping, medical services, public transport, and even a childcare centre next door, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home that perfectly blends timeless character, modern comfort, and outstanding future potential.
