Ballarat Central 202 Lyons Street South
Buy The "Bertie" Building!
PRD Ballarat is proud to present to you one of Ballarat's most iconic buildings once known as Price's Grocery. Built-in Circa 1869 the property is rich in history and retains most of its period features.
The expansive space on the ground floor which is currently used as a shopfront holds boundless opportunities - possible conversion to one large or multiple living areas, or possibly fit out for another business such as gallery or café/restaurant (STCA). Across the entry foyer we find a storage area, Powder room and space currently used as Office.
There is a cellar space underneath the building which is currently unused, but could be converted to additional living, storage or recreation space.
With secure access from Eyre Street, the downstairs apartment was fully renovated approximately 8 years ago and included the addition of insulation in the walls and ceiling. There are 2 dedicated Bedrooms and the option of a third in the existing dining room. There is a Bathroom with a clawfoot bath, shower and single vanity and a separate toilet adjacent. The Kitchen was updated to modern stainless steel appliances including 600mm gas stovetop and electric oven, along with dishwasher. An abundance of storage is here in both overhead and underbench laminex cabinetry. The nearby Family room is cosy and we have carpet underfoot and gas heating here. Externally the downstairs apartment is serviced by a large carport with remote electric roller door facing Eyre Street. Behind the carport is a large L-Shaped garage/workshop which could be used for the same, or possibly converted to another living/entertainment space.
Walking through the lovely period entrance of 202 Lyons Street South, the entry foyer is immediately impressive with its grand staircase and other period detail. The upstairs two bedroom apartment has a spacious open plan living and dining space with tall furnished windows, exposed brickwork and beautiful decorative cornicing. The upstairs dwelling is serviced by a Bathroom with shower, single vanity & toilet. There is a Kitchen with good bench space and cabinetry. A gas fireplaces in the Dining & Living areas keeps the chill away.
Re-wiring and re-plumbing has been done at the property.
Settlement terms would be 90 days or greater by negotiation.
