This dapper pad at 23 Doncaster Rd, Balwyn North has roared onto the market.
An Art Deco masterpiece fit for a Great Gatsby party has been listed in Balwyn North.
The glamorous property at 23 Doncaster Road was recreated with magnificent 1940s features, including a cinema inspired by Camberwell’s beloved Rivoli Theatre.
Vendors Gilda and John Riccio, who have $3.4-$3.6m price hopes for their four-bedroom home, said it had been the perfect setting for a Great Gatsby-themed birthday party.

“We turned the cinema room into a speak-easy with a bar, and filled our main bathroom with gold and black flowers, which ended up being a photo booth,” Mr Riccio said.
“Every room is styled in Art Deco except for the kitchen, which was a conscious decision to make it modern and functional, given we love to entertain.”
A full renovation was undertaken by the couple in 2013, which included adding an extension, creating an open living domain, and adding a deck with a retractable roof to the backyard.
The vendors chose to keep the kitchen completely modern and functional.

Elegant pendant lights, a marble fireplace, an original wooden staircase and decorative ceilings also add to the grandeur.
Modern features include underfloor heating in the bathrooms, an outdoor kitchen, double-glazed windows and an integrated sound system.
The vendors have decided it’s time to make a sea change, prompting them to put the property on the market despite stage four coronavirus restrictions.
Who knew a bathroom could be so glamorous?
There are multiple living and dining areas inside.
Work from home with plenty of space.
Belle Property Balwyn agent Claire Wenn said “every single bell and whistle” had been added to the incredible home.
She said unique features would help attract buyers, who could inspect the property once stage four coronavirus restrictions ended.
The agency is running an expressions of interest campaign that closes on October 9.
