Canterbury Mansion of Anthony Podesta Fails to Sell After Expression of Interest Campaign

Any chance of a new price record being set in the leafy eastern suburb of Canterbury looks unlikely to occur anytime soon, after the Monomeath Avenue mansion of business identity Anthony Podesta failed to sell after an expression of interest campaign.

The 5-bedroom mansion at number 39 sits on one of the bigger blocks in the wide tree-lined boulevard, considered one of the best streets in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. The home includes two studies, a spa, gym and 16-seat theatre, and was anticipated to sell for between $10 million and $11 million, which would be a new record for the suburb.

The home is a hop, skip and a jump from the home pop stars Kylie & Dannii Minogue bought for their parents, reportedly as a present, in 2002.

Unusually for the precinct however, Mr Podesta’s house doesn’t include a tennis court. Much of the available land on the 3200 square metre block of land, is occupied by an established manicured garden.

An expression of interest campaign closed in mid-November. The house has now been listed for private sale with RT Edgar.
