A Ballarat landmark steeped in history, the Monastery Apartments offer a unique place to live, relax and enjoy the surroundings and all that the location has to offer. Conveniently positioned just a short walk to Stockland Shopping Centre as well as the Howitt Street shopping precinct, Botanic Gardens and Lake Wendouree, and Wendouree train station for an easy commute to Melbourne. If it's a lifestyle you're after, then this property is it, you don't even need to own a car!
The chapel apartment is positioned at the east end of the original church building which was constructed circa 1915. Developed in the early 2000's into residential living, this property offers three bedroom accommodation with a spacious living environment with a floor area of around 230 square metres.
Arriving through the private ground floor entry you're greeted by a void soaring thirteen metres vertically to skylights above, then catch your breath before you venture into the open plan living zone with original marble flooring. Now step up to the raised lounge room with ornate columns and incredible priceless hand painted stained glass windows rising up to the eight metre high gold leaf domed ceiling. Daylight penetrates through the stained glass at different times of the day to highlight these wonderful features.
A quality well fitted out kitchen includes granite benchtops, walk in pantry, gas cooktop plus electric oven, so entertainers have all they need, plus there's ample dining space.

Ascend the wide spiral steel and hardwood timber tread staircase through an open vertical space to the second level which offers two large bedrooms with built in robes, two bathrooms, with an arched mezzanine level, which is a perfect study or library area or additional room to sit and relax. The light filled master bedroom suite is on the third level overlooking the voids and offers a genuine spacious retreat with huge arched ceiling and ensuite bathroom featuring corner spa bath.
Some of the many other features include gas heating, plus two underground car parks (with locked storage cage) on title for secure parking. Outside is an abundance of manicured garden areas to share with neighbours, where you can have a BBQ while sitting under old established trees.
An opportunity for an astute investor with the potential to offer unique short or long term rental accommodation to the Ballarat market place, with an unmatched style and potential to generate a healthy income.
