Period Home Restoration – 19th Century Gem in Kensington, Melbourne
We recently had the privilege of restoring a stunning 19th century period home in the heart of Kensington, Melbourne. Homes of this age require a delicate touch, deep knowledge, and absolute attention to detail — and this property was no exception.
With its high ceilings, ornate cornices, plaster mouldings, wallpapered walls, and sash windows, the home was full of character and charm. However, it also demanded extensive preparation to ensure every surface and detail was restored to its former glory.
Our Work on This Project
This bespoke restoration went well beyond just painting. We assisted in multiple aspects of the home’s transformation, including:
Careful surface preparation across all walls, trims, and heritage features
Premium painting finishes throughout the home
New electrical system installation, including rewiring, downlights, and fans
Custom cabinetry to suit the home’s style
Two-pack epoxy coating in the bathroom for superior durability and moisture resistance
Every element was thoughtfully planned and executed, ensuring that the home’s historic beauty was preserved while adding modern functionality and comfort.
The Results
The end result was nothing short of breathtaking. This boutique, bespoke period home restoration not only enhanced the property’s natural character but also maximised its market appeal.
The proof was in the sale — the home went under the hammer and achieved an outstanding $1,520,000 at auction. Our team was proud to have contributed to such a successful outcome, and it was an absolute pleasure to bring so many fine details together on this beautiful project.
