Beautifully restored c1901 Edwardian residence offering luxury family living, spectacular entertaining, a resort-style pool and a separate guest retreat ideal for Airbnb or multi-generational living.

Positioned on a beautifully landscaped 1,302sqm corner allotment just moments from Bendigo's CBD, 'Horonda House' is one of the city's finest heritage residences. Originally built in 1901 for former Bendigo Mayor William Wilkie, this magnificent Edwardian home has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully extended to deliver an exceptional blend of historic charm, modern luxury and outstanding lifestyle flexibility.

Beyond the grand return bullnose verandah, the home showcases many of its original features including soaring timber-lined ceilings, leadlight sash windows, ornate timber detailing, marble fireplaces and polished timber floors. These timeless features are complemented by contemporary finishes that make everyday living both comfortable and practical.

The flexible floorplan has been designed to accommodate growing families, offering three generous bedrooms on the ground floor, multiple formal and informal living areas, a beautifully appointed family bathroom, powder room and a spacious laundry. At the rear of the home, the modern extension creates the heart of the residence, with an open-plan family room, meals area and beautifully appointed kitchen featuring quality cabinetry, a Falcon 900mm cooker, Miele dishwasher, Zip boiling and chilled water, pot filler and a large walk-in pantry.

Upstairs is a private parents' retreat complete with a spacious master bedroom, walk-in dressing room, sitting room, dedicated study and luxurious ensuite featuring a spa bath and vanity, creating the perfect sanctuary away from the rest of the home.

Step outside and you'll discover what truly makes Horonda House unique. Designed for year-round entertaining, the rear of the property centres around a stunning inground swimming pool surrounded by multiple outdoor entertaining spaces and beautifully established gardens.

Overlooking the pool is an impressive pool house offering an indoor entertaining area with built-in bar, an outdoor kitchen complete with built-in BBQ, bathroom, gym, studio and additional retreat space. Whether hosting family celebrations or relaxing with friends, this exceptional space offers a level of entertaining rarely found in residential properties.

Adding even greater appeal is the versatility of the detached retreat. With its own bathroom and multiple living zones, it is ideally suited for guest accommodation, extended family, a teenage retreat, home business or a premium Airbnb (STCA). With Bendigo continuing to experience strong demand for quality short-stay accommodation from tourists, sporting events, business travellers and hospital visitors, the opportunity to generate additional income while maintaining privacy from the main residence is a significant advantage.

Located within easy walking distance of Bendigo's CBD, Queen Elizabeth Oval, Rosalind Park, the Arts Precinct, View Street cafés, restaurants, Catherine McAuley College and the Boundary Hotel, the home offers one of the city's most desirable lifestyle locations.
