Live like Leo DiCaprio in this fixer-upper mansion that channels The Great Gatsby

If you love the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties, then you’re in for a treat.

An incredible fixer-upper mansion at 59A Malvern Avenue in Malvern, Adelaide, is on offer and will have you hosting The Great Gatsby-themed parties in no time.

Listed through Jacky Yang of Raine & Horne Unley and with price expectations of $4.5 to $5 million, the sprawling abode takes you back to scenes from the 2013 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the romantic drama film is based on the 1925 novel of the same name by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The film details the life of millionaire Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), told through his neighbour Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) during the 1920s while living in Long Island, New York.

Carey Mulligan also stars as Daisy Buchanan, Carraway’s cousin and Gatsby’s former lover.

The property in Malvern contains five bedrooms and four bathrooms, and is a renovator’s dream with a sprawling floorplan.

Described as a “gentleman’s bungalow” on the listing, the sandstone property boasts an incredible 27.1 metre frontage with manicured gardens and a water fountain.

Interiors are somewhat dated and reminiscent of the 1920s with patterned wallpaper, bold carpet, beamed ceilings and apricot drapes.

Some renovations have been made, such as the chandeliers, pendant lights, and addition of Miele appliances in the sleek, white entertainer’s kitchen.

The perfect Great Gatsby-themed party can be held with the abode offering ample space for entertaining with a sunroom, pool, wine cellar and gardens at the rear. Check out the full listing here.
