Whether you walk it, run it, ride your bike around it or dine by it, there’s nothing like living by the lake. And it’s less than 100m away. 7 Elliot Street, this fastidiously maintained, architecturally designed home will satisfy all. A short walk through the manicured front garden leads you to the formal entry. The adjoining lounge room boasts a unique, octagonal vaulted ceiling and stunning travertine marble fireplace. The master suite has plenty of space, an en suite with quality fittings and a generous walk-in robe. At the nerve centre is the award winning kitchen, planned to satisfy the needs of any master chef with its granite bench tops and extensive storage. Appliances, including the double refrigerator, are top of the range. The informal eating area overlooks the pristine rear garden – just the place to sit and enjoy breakfast, lunch and that cocktail before dinner. The enormous open living area tops off a very liveable ground floor. The large laundry and powder room are easily accessible from the outside. Upstairs we find three double bedrooms with ample built-ins, a family retreat and a marble bathroom with two-person spa bath. There is also a studio/workshop for all of those hobbies. The home has central heating, air conditioning and additional gas heating. Outside, the covered alfresco area is just the spot for those balmy summer nights. The remote controlled double garage has internal access and a rear door that leads to trailer storage. Rear garden access, leading to a covered vehicle area, is through double gates on the north side of the house. And for the next drought, there is a 7,000 litre water tank. But there’s more … Ballarat’s best schools, fine dining and shopping are within minutes. Yes, this home has it all.
