Star of the beloved “Kath and Kim” series, Jane Turner, sold her Elwood mansion under the hammer yesterday, but the final price tag is a closely guarded secret — Puh-lease. Turner, the acclaimed Logie Award-winning comedian and actor, listed the distinctively “different and unusual” mansion with $7.5m to $8m price hopes.
According to PropTrack data Melbourne was bustling with buyer activity this weekend snagging a 65.2 per cent clearance rate.

825 homes went under the hammer across the city, sealing the deal on 538 of them.
A prominent figure in Australian television, Turner, alongside her creative partner Gina Riley, is best known for her portrayal of Kath Day-Knight in the show “Kath & Kim” and the spin-off film “Kath & Kimderella.”
Turner’s home, shared with her husband John Denton, first went on the market in 2020 with a similar price range but was withdrawn without a sale.

Despite the excitement, Marshall White Bayside’s Andy Nasr has remained tight-lipped about the auction result declining to comment.
