Steeped in history, ‘Inverness’ is unique bluestone property dating back to the Gold Rush era. Constructed circa 1870 from bluestone bricks believed to be sourced from the nearby Mount Pleasant quarry, the residence is filled with grandeur and many original features. The home has enjoyed many lives since it was constructed, and has been in the current family for almost 60 years.
Offering an outstanding opportunity to restore it to its former glory, it is perfectly liveable as it is but deserves to be given a new lease of life! Comprising three bedrooms (or two plus study), three separate living areas including two large formal lounge rooms, an informal living room, plus an additional dining area. The bathroom is functional but dates back to the 1970’s, along with the kitchen which draws plenty of north light and adjoins a casual dining area and walk in pantry.
Some of the other features include high pressed metal ceilings and cornice, marble fireplace and mantle, leadlight glass finishes and a sunroom at the rear which is perfect for working from, or your arts & crafts. Wrought iron fretwork, fencing & gate add to the charm, along with established gardens including mature roses, lemon trees, a gazebo, old shed and carport for your vehicles.
Located just 1km to Ballarat’s CBD and positioned on a large 1196m2 allotment, you can enjoy city living and dine out, catch a train, or stroll along the Yarrowee River and Wallaby Track. Perhaps live and work from home with the flexible floor plan and the beautiful creative environment it provides, the choice is yours. Call Chris to arrange your inspection.
