A mammoth renovation has turned a traditional Victorian terrace into one of Melbourne‘s most beautiful family homes.

The three-bedroom in Clifton Hill, four kilometres north-east of the CBD, was designed and built in 1885 by entrepreneur Walter Scott who combined his daughters’ names to call the house Elsie Leigh.

The house has a fairytale façade straight from a painter’s canvas that was salvaged by Perkins Architects, who painstakingly stripped away heavy layers of wisteria that threatened to destroy the historic front.

Renovation works also involved preserving classic floorboards, ornate fireplaces and the high ceilings that were customary in upper-class residences throughout the 19th century.

The street-facing part of the house is occupied by a study, two bedrooms and a magnificent lounge with bay windows.

Listing agent Arch Staver, who is overseeing the sale of the property for realtors Nelson Alexander, described it as ‘one of the more elegant rooms I’ve had the pleasure of walking inside’.

Upstairs is the spacious third bedroom complete with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, as well as the master bathroom.

A large window streams sunlight in over the statement bathtub which is big enough for two.
