Exemplary Elegance - ‘Horonda' This is an incredible opportunity to secure a stunning, fully restored heritage property, perfect for entertaining. Walking distance to the city centre, Queen Elizabeth Oval, and the Arts Precinct in View Street, this home is also close to cafés, hotels, and a secondary school. Built in 1901 by former Bendigo mayor William Wilkie and once known as ‘Wilkie House,’ ‘Horonda’ sits on a generous corner allotment. The grand Edwardian brick home features a sweeping return bullnose veranda with elaborate lacework, flanked by a landscaped garden with multiple outdoor zones. Period charm abounds, with high timber-lined ceilings, leadlight sash windows, and intricate timber features retaining its historical grandeur.

This home exudes period charm, which has been retained and restored to serve the modern buyer perfectly. High timber-lined ceilings, leadlight detail in sash windows, and intricate timber features provide a rich sense of history and grandeur throughout.

Three generously proportioned bedrooms with built-in storage, and a formal lounge and adjoining dining room (currently serving as a music room) flow beautifully off the central hallway. The family bathroom enjoys a separate powder room, along with a freestanding, clawfoot tub and shower. At the rear of the home is a modern addition with a large living room, dining room and timeless kitchen. This space enjoys excellent storage and modern conveniences, whilst perfectly blending with the heritage feel. Off the dining space is a large laundry, and additional powder room.

An ornate timber staircase hides additional storage and a built-in study nook and at the top of the stairs is a landing, custom study, and the main bedroom. The luxurious parents’ retreat includes a sizeable walk-in robe and an ensuite with a 10-jet spa bath and his-and-hers cabinetry. The outdoor area is a dream for the buyer who wishes to entertain with a private, brick-paved courtyard hidden behind an established hedge at one side of the home; and to the other, a lawn area with a stone-paved patio and a cascading stream with a footbridge running between the two. At the rear of the allotment is a large shed; an inground swimming pool; and a sensational pool house with an outdoor and indoor space that has been designed to accommodate all your friends and family.
