On The Market: The Private Estate of Melbourne's Most Celebrated Garden Designer
At On The Market, we explore exceptional real estate listings — from seaside mansions to artistically planned studio apartments. Australians often think about property more than they'd like to admit, and they know very well that not every home stands equal.
Among the standout listings is Potts Point’s remarkable “Jenner House.” Originally built in 1868 by renowned architect Edmund Blacket, it gained an additional third level in 1881, designed by Thomas Rowe. Today, the residence is back on the market through Gavin Rubinstein’s agency, presenting a unique chance to reimagine one of Potts Point’s grandest heritage landmarks.
“Jenner House” offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform a historic property through DA-approved plans.
Occupying nearly half an acre, the home features harbour views, classic architecture, expansive green lawns, sweeping verandahs, and multiple terraces ideal for entertaining. It delivers an exceptional sense of space and privacy, rarely found so close to Sydney’s vibrant heart.
