21 Garnett Rd, Wheelers Hill – for herald sun real estate
A museum-like mansion dubbed “Wheelers Hills’ most unique offering” with Roman-style statuettes, a Cleopatra spa bath and indoor fountain now awaits a new owner.
The six-bedroom house at 21 Garnett Rd is on the market with a $2.26m to $2.486m asking range.
Ray White Clayton agent Lisa Li Sales said she would call the property “a museum or art gallery rather than a living place”.

Set on 1119sq m, a grand dual staircase, Italian-esque sculptures and a water fountain greet visitors to the property, while opulent wallpaper, chandeliers and another fountain set in a chequerboard-patterned floor are in the reception foyer.
“Once you walked into it you will immediately find where is a true handcrafted and European-inspired piece of art,” Ms Li said.

Ms Li said the home was “extremely unique and highly rare to find anywhere around local areas”.
“I like everything about this property especially the master bedroom and the entire plaster works through out the property,” she said.
“Each room has individual design with using different materials and fixtures to create diverse feeling and mood.”
An ideal nook for afternoon tea.
Peacock detailing on the tiles.

The house last sold for $2.38 in 2017, according to CoreLogic, after being on the market for 817 days.
Ms Li said the first open inspection she held for the house on September 24 had attracted 30 groups, and that many buyers had expressed interest in renovating the “one in a million house”.
The abode will be auctioned on October 15.
