Celebrity hairdresser Joey Scandizzo and his wife Jane, former reality star on Netflix’s Yummy Mummies, are selling their Toorak residence.

Having styled the hair of stars from Elle Macpherson to Paris Hilton and singer-songwriter Vera Blue, Joey is four-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year and owns a self-titled salon in South Yarra.

His wife Jane starred on the Netflix show Yummy Mummies in 2017 which followed Aussie mums-to-be on their journey through pregnancy and she’s also signed with Vivien’s Models.

Property records show the couple are selling their four-bedroom house at 18 Fairbairn Rd with $7m-$7.5m price hopes, which they purchased in 2014 for $2.13m.

The living room and kitchen opens out to huge feature windows which ‘make you feel like you’re outside’.

Designed by architectural firm Studio Kennon and Duobuilt with Jack Merlo landscape design, features throughout the home include in-situ concrete walls, European oak floorboards, a marble fireplace and full-height glazing.

Seller Joey Scandizzo said he, his wife and architect Peter Kennon had created a beautiful family home in the heart of Toorak.

By using in-situ concrete, he said the foundations of the home were strong, but by using the right finishes throughout the home it still felt soft and elegant.

Mr Scandizzo added that the inclusion of big glass windows in the rear living area made it feel like you were outside — something that was important to Joey.

“When you sit in that open plan living area, the kids are outside in the pool having a swim or shooting hoops in the basketball area, you can keep your eye on them at the same time as relaxing,” he said.

Mr Scandizzo said they enjoyed the process of bringing the old to new and creating a new environment, which they wanted to replicate in a new property.

“When we built this house, we actually built thinking we were going to be there for a long time. But an opportunity came up and (it’s) something we’re going to do,” he said.

“Our dream house is now going to be someone else’s dream.”

Through its Victorian archway, a wide hallway leads to a large, open plan kitchen, living and dining area with plenty of natural light.

Adjacent to the rear of the main residence is a separate double garage with a second storey, multipurpose retreat and bathroom.

The primary suite also has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with three additional bedrooms upstairs.

Marshall White Stonnington director Nicholas Brooks said the Toorak digs had undergone a “striking” renovation and would attract downsizers and families moving into the area, especially with its ground floor main bedroom and flexible floorplan.

He added that the abode was also surrounded by some of the best schools in Melbourne as well as being in walking distance to both Hawksburn and Toorak villages.
