Summary:
A charming Ballarat East cottage with a vine-covered façade, red front door, ornate ceilings, and a welcoming fireplace. This three-bedroom home sits close to Ballarat’s key attractions and the historic Eureka precinct, making it an ideal base to explore the city’s gold rush heritage.

From the moment you arrive, the character of this cottage stands out. The red door and vine-clad façade give the home instant street appeal, while inside, ornate ceilings and period details highlight its historic charm.

The living room is warm and inviting, with a brick fireplace at its centre and heritage features that speak to the home’s past. It’s a comfortable space to gather, whether to enjoy a quiet evening or simply take in the atmosphere of a true Ballarat cottage.

The kitchen blends function with character, fitted with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, oven, and pod coffee machine. Light flows in through French doors, creating a bright and welcoming dining area.

Each of the three bedrooms includes a queen-size bed with soft linen, offering calm and comfort after a day exploring the city.

The bathroom is well appointed with a shower, vanity, and a deep bathtub, along with a separate toilet for convenience.
