Overlooking the Darling Gardens, this imposing National Trust Listed residence (ca 1885) was designed and built by the entrepreneur Walter Scott in decorative Boom-era style with a Grecian parapet and upper-level balcony. Named for Scott's daughters Elise and Leigh, and renovated and extended in light-filled style by Perkins Architects, this historic home, metres from Queens Parade and all public transport options, combines period elegance with striking contemporary style. Entered from an arched reception hall and sensitively reconfigured to offer a versatile floor plan with elegantly proportioned principal rooms, it offers a vast bay-windowed sitting room opening through multifold original doors to a fitted home office; dining room, family room and bespoke all-Miele kitchen. Upstairs are a spectacular main bedroom/retreat with dressing room and ensuite, grand front bedroom, third double bedroom and family bathroom/concealed laundry. Including a ground level third bathroom and side courtyard, the home opens through a pivot door to a deck and secluded landscaped garden. One of Clifton Hill's finest residences, 'Elsie Leigh' features open fireplaces and other exquisite Victorian detail, hydronic heating and reverse cycle air conditioning, alarm and irrigation systems, cabling, surround sound and superior modern fittings.
