The Cockatoo eyesore is a real head turner and had the nation’s most popular ad on Domain, outlined in the Domain End of Year Wrap.

And for anyone enamoured by the possibility of what the graffiti-addled estate could become, it is still on the market, with price hopes of $900,000 to $990,000.

These are the most-viewed listings by capital city, for 2024, on Domain…

This home belonged to AFL star Jeremy Finlayson and his wife Kellie, who sold up as Kellie continues her cancer fight.

The couple traded in the keys in November. Kellie’s health and the need to be closer to where she is receiving treatment compelled them to part with the restored character property.

In its heyday, tennis parties were held at the Witch’s House “with the spectators reportedly sitting in a ‘garden-kiosk’ and being served refreshing drinks by a maid,” the state’s Heritage Council reports.
