Radio host lists Spanish Mission family home
Radio and television personality Jo Stanley and her husband, film producer, Darren McFarlane, have listed their Elsternwick family home after 12 years and a renovation.
On 609 square metres at 34 Riddell Parade, walking distance to the suburb’s Glen Huntly Road shopping strip and train station, the five bedroom c1930 Spanish Mission carries $3.3-$3.6 million price hopes.
The pair paid $1.615m. The refurbishment included switching the kitchen and meal spaces.
Upstairs, a study and bedroom were razed to create a master bedroom ensuite – as big the size of the master suite.
A then third-lounge room on the ground floor replaced that bedroom.
A new study meanwhile was built into the upstairs landing
The home also includes two living areas, two outdoor entertainment zones and a shed (story continues below).
Biggin & Scott’s Daniel Ashton and Bill Stavrakis are taking it to auction on August 26.
Ms Stanley co-hosted Fox FM’s breakfast show with Matt Tilley for a decade until 2013.
Nowadays, the entertainer co-hosts Channel Seven’s health and lifestyle show House of Wellness, which also has a weekend radio stint on 3AW.
The listing comes five years since ABC radio host Richelle Hunt sold a c1915 red brick terrace in nearby Balaclava for $1.225m – a rise on the $785,000 paid in 2011.
