8 Tiuna Grove, Elwood - for herald sun real estate

Television show Kath & Kim co-creator, comedian, writer and actor Jane Turner, has listed her Elwood home.


Logie Award-winning comedian, writer and actor Jane Turner of Kath and Kim fame has listed a nice, different and unusual Elwood mansion with $7.5m-$8m price hopes.

A co-creator of the iconic Australian television series along with her friend and collaborator Gina Riley, Turner played the role of Kath Day-Knight in the show and 2012 spin-off film Kath & Kimderella.

In addition to being a ratings smash hit, the program set in Melbourne won numerous accolades including Logies, Australian Film Institute gongs and Australian Comedy Awards.

An Order of Australia recipient, Turner also portrayed the posh Fountain Gate Shopping Centre store assistant Prue in Kath and Kim while Riley took on the character of her fellow retail employee Trude.

Turner is also known for her roles on the drama series Prisoner and in the sketch comedy shows The D-Generation, Fast Forward, Full Frontal, Big Girl’s Blouse and Something Stupid, plus the legal comedy Rake alongside actor Richard Roxburgh.

Turner and her husband John Denton previously listed their Elwood house with a $7.3-$8m asking range in 2020, following a moving overseas after Denton was appointed as the International Chamber of Commerce’s first Australian secretary-general two years prior.

But public records show they withdrew the five-bedroom residence from the market after 47 days without selling it.

It’s an impressive library, imagine how many copies of the books Forever Faithful and Show me your Ring, by Marion the marriage counsellor and officiant, portrayed by Marg Downey in the show, could fit on those shelves.

You could love yourself sick in that pool. And as everyone knows, a pool is essential if you’re going to over-capitalise.


The circa-1884 Victorian Italianate-style mansion is set behind an ivy-clad wall and wrought iron gates.

A marble-tiled veranda decorated with iron lace-work veranda leads to the formal entry foyer.

The impressive home also features a swimming pool, pool house and studio, wine cellar, fireplaces, French doors that open to garden terraces, ornate plasterwork and leadlight windows near the central staircase.

In the early 2000s, Turner engaged architecture firm Jackson Clements Burrows to connect the original part of the house to old stables at the rear, via a modern extension with high ceilings.

The original front reception rooms are now used as a formal lounge, dining area, library and home office.

The kitchen isn’t exactly the same as that in the Day-Knight home in Fountain Lakes, but surely there’s some commemorative sausages, baby cheeses and fat-free fruches in the fridge.

Even Prue and Trude would be impressed with these interiors.


The kitchen is fitted with stone benchtops and Neff and Miele appliances.

Marshall White director Andy Nasr declined to comment on the listing.

PropTrack recorded a 58.1 per cent preliminary clearance rate from 327 early auction results across Victoria on Saturday.

About 1251 auctions are expected for the state next week.
