"We need to talk about Lugano, one of the great houses of the inner north, one of the rich stories of residential Melbourne.
  • Built by Lawrence Edwards in 1912, the glorious elevation here is noteworthy on its own – the city skyline barely interrupted – but it’s the interiors that leave you awestruck.

While the foyer’s columned archway is a suitably stunning introduction, you only have to jag left where bedroom one immediately ups the ante. It’s here you see the first of the incredible pressed metal ceilings.

  • Then there’s the superb leadlight bay window with city views, and the lovely timber overmantle.

Federation style Northcote stunner with breathtaking city views

From the Weekly Review by Alison Barclay, July 13.2016 4:40 pm
Its Queen Anne architecture, with a widow’s walk, turret, bay windows and a grand staircase from verandah to driveway, clearly has lasting appeal for inquisitive kids. In 1990, the grown-up Taig saw an ad for Lugano.
  • “Six hundred people attended the auction,” he recalls, “but I knew none of them were genuine bidders.”
  • He kept his hand down and bought Lugano two days later. A history boffin, Don Taig proved the ideal second owner for this extraordinary house.

He and his wife restored it, reproducing the original paint colours – rose pink, cream and duck-egg blue – and tracking down an expert craftsman, aged 100 and still working, to repair the pressed-metal ceilings.
  • Their best discovery was Lawrence Edwards’ daughter. “She was in a nursing home, and one of the cast-iron pieces of the widow’s walk balustrade was in her room,’’ he says. “I got the Northern Aluminium Casting Works people to copy it for me.”
  • He’s proud to call Lugano “a completely preserved period home, incorporating contemporary features in a period style”.

Mr Taig’s efforts to restore the home were rewarded when the granddaughter of the original builder, Laurence Edwards, showed him a photo of her grandparents’ golden anniversary party that was held at the home.
“I was happy to see that I had achieved a result that was pretty close to the original,” Mr Taig said.
