It would be a record-breaking sale for the the affluent seaside suburb, after Jane purchased the home for $802,500 back in 1997, according to the Herald Sun.
The Tiuna Grove property features an expansive outdoor pool and a well-maintained garden, which is overlooked by a value-adding extension.
It was extended in the early 2000s by architecture firm Jackson Clements Burrows, connecting the original house to old stables at the rear with a modern extension featuring timber ceilings for a rustic touch.
