Inside the candy bar mansion: hidden doors, pet spa, arcade

A candy bar, a pet spa, a library with a hidden door — this massive home has it all and it’s on the market.

What do you put in a home that’s nearly seven times the size of the average Queensland house?

A candy and popcorn bar, a cinema, a ‘great room’, a commercial cool room and butler’s pantry, balconies and ensuites for every bedroom, an elevator, an office with two meeting rooms, and a library with a hidden door to a housekeeper’s office — of course.

Welcome to ‘Magnolia Manor’, a brand new mansion with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a five-car garage, that spans three levels comprising a whopping 1543 sqm of living space.

This home at 51 Hillview Pde, Ashmore, spans 1543 sqm of living space.

A five-bedroom house with a tennis court and pool was demolished to make way for the epic newbuild, which was inspired by American architecture and brought to life by international designer, Michelle Marsden.
