It has been offered with $4.6 million hopes.
It includes a Howard Tanner-designed extension, with gardens by Annie Wilkes, and a cabana beside the gas-heated pool.
Presiding over a 1,511 square metre block, the home situated at 29 Nelson Street, Gordon comprises five double bedrooms, open plan living and dining, chef's kitchen, central garden courtyard and alfresco terrace.
Other features include wine cellar, Jet-master fireplace, gas heated pool and double lock-up garage.

The property will be auctioned on December 1.
