A terrace home in Melbourne has been preserved through the centuries, becoming a time capsule for decades gone by.

The two-bedroom, Victorian-style property in the suburb of Fitzroy North has housed multiple generations of the same family, according to Fairfax Media. Its final owner was war veteran Eric Worsley who passed away in 2012 at the age of 102. He had been given the home by his mother, who lived there until she was more than 100 years old.

Worsley bequeathed the home to his caregiver, Maria, who is now putting the vintage dream up for sale. It is expected to get upwards of $A640,000 but needs work to be livable, according to Chambers Real Estate, that is in charge of the sale. Maria left the home in its original state to honour Worlsey, who thought of the property as his palace.

"The home means a lot to me," she told Fairfax. "I grew up in this area and I used to go the picture theatre across the road. When I was a little girl there was a children's matinee show and all the local children would congregate out the front, and Eric said he could hear the chatter of the children waiting for the doors to open."

Throughout the home, trends of various decades can be seen: floral and motif wallpaper, checkered linoleum on the floor, a turntable, a box-set television and an original fireplace. The real estate agent describes the property as "untouched by time."

"This historic virtually untouched terrace home is one of three matching decorative mid-Victorian terraces built as a group," the property description reads. "On entering you will discover a relic of an era long past that reads more like a meticulously constructed film set than original faded Victorian."
