506 Skipton Street, Redan, Vic 3350

This beautiful double fronted Victorian home was built in 1895. With original Iron lacework and established front gardens. Comprising of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms this home also benefits from a second living area, or 4th bedroom. With just a 200m walk to the centre of Ballarat, you also have everything you need on your doorstep.

The original features and character are continued throughout this home at every turn. Whether it’s the original doors and glass work, the Baltic timber flooring or the ornate cornice and ceiling roses, so much of the Victorian era has been retained.

The hallway that runs down the centre of this home is extra wide, and straight away the high ceilings provide a sense of light and space. With dado panelling and feature archways, the presentation in this home is amazing.

The parent's retreat provides the ideal place to unwind away from the rest of the house. Leading directly into the master bedroom, complete with ensuite and mirrored wardrobes, you get all the luxury without losing any of the character.

The 2nd living area is also located at the front of the property, and would also make a great sized 4th bedroom. An original cast iron fireplace with exposed brick is a feature of this room, along with original timber doors, cornice and ceiling rose.

Moving deeper into the home, a further two excellent sized bedrooms (back when bedrooms were made to be used) also benefit from all of the touches mentioned – high ceilings, picture rails and plenty of light from the large windows.

The family and meals area combine one long, open plan room, complete with yet another feature fire place as well as a ceiling fan to keep things cool in the summer. There is also a Rennai heater to help in the winter months.

The kitchen is accessed through the meals area and provides dishwasher, double sink and updated oven with extractor fan. The terracotta tiles are a nice touch, and there’s also space for another table/breakfast area here too. Glass sliding doors lead onto the landscaped rear garden, complete with powered storage shed, and a good concrete pad for an outdoor setting.

Finally, the family bathroom is well appointed with a modern white suite, shower over bath and a European style laundry behind sliding door.

506 Skipton is just 200m from the centre of Ballarat, meaning everything you could want or need is within walking distance. All on land size of 719sqm
