Inside look: Mugga Way mansion with 400-bottle cellar and home cinema

While from the street this home may look like a low-key minimalist masterpiece, inside there are plenty of added luxuries to lure buyers.

The five-bedroom home comes with its own half-court basketball court, and for wine lovers a luxury cellar set up.

There is currently no price guide on the home, which last sold for $2.6 million in 2022, but recent sales in one of the capital's most prestigious locations have hovered around the $4 million mark.

Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living and sleeping areas offer views of Red Hill nature reserve and surrounding bushland.

The house is ideal for entertaining, with an alfresco dining area, large pool deck and an open-planned kitchen.

A marble kitchen island and walk-in pantry are key features within the house.

On winter nights, guests can be welcomed into a home cinema and 400-bottle cellar.

Selling agent Mario Safrancesco of Blackshaw said a "few bottles of good red wine" could certainly be left to the right buyer.

At the centre of the home is a fire place, surrounded by wooden panelling to complement a spotted gum front door and surrounding bushland.

Outside, the house sits on an over quarter-acre block and includes a basketball half-court and swimming pool.

A large garage accommodates up to six cars, which can also be parked on the long driveway running up to the front door.

The house has been on the market for several months, however Mr Sanfrancesco said demand had been high.

"We have had a very healthy number of inspections both by local families wanting to upgrade and interstate enquiries," he said.

Diplomats and embassies have also had their eye on the property.

Sale of the house will be by negotiation only.

Mr Sanfrancesco was tight-lipped on a price guide but said: "the golden mile does tend to attract a certain price point".

The last five-bedroom house to sell on Mugga Way for a disclosed price point went for $4 million in September 2022.

Another three houses sold above the $4 million price point in the same financial year.
