Last Listing description (March 2026)

Perched proudly at the top of Don Street, 'St Leonards' stands as one of Bendigo's most distinguished heritage homes. Set on approximately 1190m2 sqm with dual access from Don Street and Nettle Street, this stately Victorian residence (circa 1890) offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of the city's history. Designed and built for Charles Perry, a noted gold miner and innovator, the property later served as a hospital before being restored in the late 1990s. Rich in character and original features, it combines grandeur and warmth, with scope for sympathetic modernisation to create a landmark family home.
A striking faade with iron-lace verandahs to the front and side hints at the craftsmanship within.
The tiled entry opens to a magnificent central hallway, soaring ceilings and ornate decorative detail throughout.

Four large bedrooms sit to the front of the home, each retaining original fireplaces, decorative plasterwork and heritage fittings.
A grand living and dining area forms the heart of the residence, flowing through to a light-filled sunroom addition.
The spacious kitchen features a Falcon stove, generous cabinetry and access to the rear courtyard.
A large main bathroom complements the bedroom wing, while a second bathroom and laundry are positioned to the rear.
Period highlights include stained glass windows, ceiling roses, patterned wallpaper, plush carpets, tiled surfaces and intricate light fittings.
Hydronic wall heating provides gentle warmth throughout, with split-system heating and cooling in the first two bedrooms.
Outdoor living extends along the side verandah and undercover entertaining area, overlooking established gardens and paved courtyards.
The grounds feature mature trees, garden beds and space for further landscaping or restoration of the former coach-house.
Off-street parking is available via dual access points, including a two-car garage and a rear driveway on Nettle Street.
Additional features include security screens on windows and doors, storage sheds and a timeless street presence befitting its heritage.
Grand in scale and rich in history, 'St Leonards' represents a rare chance to secure one of Bendigo's treasured Victorian homes. With its stately architecture, generous proportions and potential to reimagine for contemporary living, this is a property of enduring beauty and significance in an iconic central setting.
