5 Russell Street, Newington, Vic 3350

One of Ballarat’s most significant homes is on the market for the first time in 25 years. Located on the picturesque, tree-lined Russell Street, opposite beautiful Victoria Park, this English Tudor-style residence was originally designed by Coburn in 1928 and extended by architect Madin-Lyons. The property, set on approximately 800 square meters with a north-facing aspect, showcases the period details of its era while incorporating modern features for a contemporary lifestyle.

The renovated living and kitchen area beautifully complements the more formal Coburn front rooms, boasting superb proportions, polished parquetry flooring, double-glazed windows, and an abundance of natural light. The open-plan kitchen with a large island is perfect for entertaining and includes high-end appliances such as a NEFF double oven, Miele gas cooktop, Qasair rangehood, Asko built-in dishwasher, Caesarstone benchtops, two sinks, and a Hydro Zip Tap.

Year-round comfort is ensured with hydronic gas heating and ducted cooling and heating. The laundry features a drying cupboard, and both bathrooms have heated floors. Additional amenities include a split system and an open fireplace in the front formal lounge.

The property also boasts a picturesque pool and spa with magnesium, solar, and gas heating. Bore water is available to maintain the extensive formal gardens, which are equipped with an automated watering system. Other features include a double lock-up garage/carport with direct house access, electric front gates, Sectrol security, and rear pedestrian access to Sturt Street.

This home enjoys a highly sought-after location, with Ballarat’s best schools at your doorstep and within a short walk to the lake and CBD. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an outstanding family residence.
