3 Langston Street, Bendigo, Vic 3550

This is an incredible opportunity to secure a stunning, fully restored and refurbished heritage property that has been perfectly established to serve as an entertainer’s dream. Walking distance to the city centre and an easy stroll to Queen Elizabeth Oval and the Arts Precinct in View Street, this stunning home is also within easy reach of café, hotel and secondary school. Once known as ‘Wilkie House’, ‘Horonda’ was built in 1901 by the former Bendigo mayor, William Wilkie. Sitting on a generous corner allotment, the grand Edwardian brick build features a sweeping return bullnose veranda decorated with elaborate lacework and flanked by a landscaped manicured garden providing multiple zones to enjoy the outdoors.
