Comedian and actress Jane Turner has listed her stunning home in the Melbourne suburb of Elwood with an asking price of $7.5 million to $8 million.
The five-bedroom mansion is a world away from the humble Fountain Lakes home of the iconic Kath Day-Knight character she played on the hit comedy series, Kath & Kim, alongside Gina Riley.
Dating back to around 1884, the facade of the sprawling home is a classic example of Victorian Italianate-style architecture with its iron lacework verandah.
A marble-tiled entrance leads into a grand foyer and reveals a sweeping staircase alongside original period features including polished hardwood floors and leadlight windows.
CoreLogic records show the property was last sold in 2007 for $802,500.
Set on 1018 square metres, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom house is impressive inside and out, with a large extension added to the home in around 2005.
Described on the listing as "rich in old-world glamour and grandeur", the home boasts high ceilings and ornate plasterwork.

The original front reception rooms are configured as a formal lounge, dining, library and home office which retain original features such as fireplaces, French doors and bay windows.
Connecting the original home and former stables is the industrial-inspired cedar extension by renowned architects JCB.
The central open-plan living, entertaining and kitchen space is filled with natural light through clerestory louvre windows.
Timber-lined ceilings add an extra touch of warmth to the space.
The kitchen has pea-green cabinetry, a large island bench, stone benchtops and high-end Neff and Miele appliances.
The former stables are now a large rumpus room that can be closed off with sliding barn-style doors, along with a bathroom and a laundry with outdoor access.
The area flows out to the alfresco timber deck, and an in-ground swimming pool.
The property also has a studio and pool house.
All five bedrooms are upstairs, along with three bathrooms, including the luxury terrazzo tiled ensuite and the main bedroom with a crystal chandelier.
