Step into a piece of Ballarat?s history at the Monastery Apartments?lovingly referred to as "Hogwarts" by its owners. This stunning three-bedroom apartment is set within the former Redemptorist Monastery of Our Lady of Perpetual Hope, where historic grandeur meets modern living.
Much like Hogwarts, the Monastery Apartments exude a sense of timeless magic. The building's striking architecture combines classical and medieval elements, featuring rock-faced Barrabool stone, soaring gables, and dormer windows that lend it an enchanting, almost magical character. Brimming with secrets and stories of centuries past, this apartment carries the weight of history with its rich past as a monastery and spiritual retreat. The blend of Renaissance and French influences creates a sense of wonder throughout.
Inside, the apartment offers a perfect fusion of elegance and comfort. High ceilings, ornate mouldings, and polished floors reflect the building?s rich past, while the north-facing living area is filled with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The modern kitchen, complete with stone benchtops, sleek appliances, and a charming dormer window, is perfect for both casual meals and culinary experiments.
Each of the three generously sized bedrooms, with their own dormer windows, provides a tranquil retreat. The master suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite with a spacious shower. The second and third bedrooms are equally inviting, with built-in robes, and the main bathroom offers both a separate shower and bath for ultimate relaxation. A European laundry and gas Rinnai heating ensure practical comfort throughout.
The meticulously maintained gardens offer a serene sanctuary, allowing you to fully unwind and enjoy a peaceful retreat away from the hustle of daily life. The apartment complex also offers secure living, with gated access to both above ground and underground parking, as well as secure building entry.
While this apartment may not sit in the Scottish Highlands, it is ideally located just a short stroll from Stockland Shopping Centre, the stunning Botanical Gardens, Howitt Street Shopping Precinct, Lake Wendouree, and Wendouree Train Station?striking the perfect balance between tranquillity and convenience.
Embrace the chance to live in a historic gem, offering the perfect blend of charm and contemporary luxury.
