249 Dowling Street Wendouree, VIC 3355

Tucked away for complete privacy in a tightly held Wendouree pocket, this spacious family home on approx. 604m² combines an unbeatable location with outstanding potential - all the big-ticket items already taken care of.

Just minutes from Lake Wendouree, Selkirk Stadium, Howitt Street Shopping Precinct, Ballarat Grammar, MARS Stadium, the Minerdome, Wendouree Train Station, freeway access and the Ballarat CBD, this address delivers lifestyle and convenience at its very best.

Inside, the home offers an inviting and practical floorplan. The central living zone is warm and welcoming, featuring a wood heater and split system for year-round comfort. The light-filled kitchen and dining area has been stylishly updated, boasting a waterfall stone island bench, double sink, 600mm electric oven and gas cooktop, dishwasher, pantry and excellent bench and storage space. Just off the kitchen is an updated laundry, rear mudroom and impressive under-house storage.

Accommodation is generous, with flexibility to suit families at all stages. Downstairs you'll find a king-sized bedroom with built-in robes and ceiling fan, plus two further queen-sized bedrooms, both with built-in robes and one with a ceiling fan. The main bathroom has been updated and includes a separate bath, shower, vanity and separate toilet.

Upstairs is where the real opportunity awaits - an expansive master retreat, incredibly solid and mostly original aside from the new aluminium windows and door. With fresh carpet, a coat of paint and an ensuite refresh, this level has all the makings of a true sanctuary you'll love for years to come. With a master-sized bedroom already on the ground floor, you may even choose to utilise this upper level as a second living zone, studio or work-from-home space - the options are endless.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A fully fenced front yard with gate enhances privacy and security, while the smartly concreted driveway offers a turning circle or ideal space to securely park a caravan. There is a double carport plus an outstanding 10m x 6m (approx.) shed with concrete floor, wood fire and power - large enough to accommodate up to four cars, a workshop or hobby space. Additional storage shedding with concrete floor sits at the rear, along with a great-sized backyard that provides a blank canvas to create your own garden oasis.

With new aluminium Colorbond windows and doors throughout, an updated kitchen, main bathroom, laundry, flooring, and upgraded electrical and plumbing, much of the hard work and major expense has already been completed. The home now awaits those finishing touches - an incredible opportunity to capitalise in a prime Wendouree locale.

This is a rare chance to secure a well-positioned, well-progressed home with huge upside. Be quick - properties like this don't last long.
