St Leonards - A Magnficent Victorian Heritage Home

The Phone Code for this property is: 21161. Please quote this number when phoning or texting.
"St Leonards" is a grand solid-brick Victorian residence designed by the renowned architectural partnership of Beebe and Vahland. Constructed in 1890 for Charles Perry, inventor of the revolutionary safety fuse used throughout the mining industry, the home is an important part of Bendigo's rich heritage.
Over its 136-year history, St Leonards has served many roles. Originally built as a distinguished family residence, it has also operated as a private hospital and later as a day centre for people with disabilities before once again becoming a much-loved family home.
The residence offers four generous bedrooms and an impressive formal lounge and dining room showcasing magnificent period features. Throughout the home are exquisite leadlight windows, imported wallpapers, decorative light fittings, ornate fireplaces and soaring 14-foot ceilings adorned with elaborate ceiling roses. Particularly striking are the leadlight panels, which beautifully depict the mining history of the surrounding district.
The light-filled sunroom adjoins the kitchen and meals area, where timber cabinetry and a Falcon range cooker blend traditional character with everyday functionality.
Outside, a wide verandah overlooks the established gardens, featuring a delightful mix of English and Australian trees, shrubs and flowering plants. A double garage with automatic door provides secure parking, while the original stables have been thoughtfully retained, offering an expansive workshop, artist's studio or future conversion opportunity (STCA).
This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and historically significant Victorian residence that is structurally sound, immediately comfortable and ready for its next custodian. With a cosmetic refresh , St Leonards has the potential to become one of Bendigo's truly outstanding heritage homes.
Submit expressions of interest by Friday 30th October.
