Looking for Alibrandi Glebe terrace for auction
A Glebe terrace, featured in the Australian film Looking for Alibrandi, has been listed for May 30 Ray White auction.
The fame of 1 Cardigan Street dates back to the 2000 film which movie buffs will recognise as the home of Josephine Alibrandi.
Updated since the film, the two-bedroom 1900 home features a modern kitchen, bathroom and new decor.
Based on the novel by Melina Marchetta about a teenage girl, Looking for Alibrandi starred Australian actors including Pia Miranda, Anthony LaPaglia and Greta Scacchi.
It last sold after 20 years of ownership in 2013 at $900,000, when the film was writ large in the marketing.
This time it is not mentioned.
The inner west gave Italo-Australian authenticity to Looking for Alibrandi, though Cardigan Street was chosen for its city views.
The film location manager, Maude Heath advised the tomato festival scene was shot in Five Dock.
The grandmother of Melina Marchetta, who wrote both the novel and screenplay, lived in a house used in the film.
