About this space

In the heart of Moonee Ponds, VIC, just moments from Melbourne’s inner city, Heritage Haven blends the best of both worlds: the romance of a 19th-century Victorian home with the clean, contemporary polish of a modern extension. Thoughtfully renovated and heritage listed, this four-bedroom residence is a richly detailed, shoot-ready canvas that offers flexibility, elegance, and light in equal measure.

The front of the home is a study in timeless charm—grand ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate fireplaces, and intricate cornices create a layered, textural backdrop ideal for editorial work, portraiture, or lifestyle content with a more classic feel. Leadlight windows bathe the rooms in soft colour and natural light, while the warm palette of timber and neutral tones adds visual interest without overpowering a scene.

Toward the rear, the home opens dramatically into a light-filled, open-plan space designed for functionality and flow. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels flood the area with natural light and connect seamlessly to a paved garden—perfect for indoor-outdoor storytelling or back-to-back setups. The modern kitchen is primed for food styling, flat-lays, and hosting, with natural stone benchtops, European appliances, and a new Smeg cooktop and oven. A formal dining area and spacious living zone round out the extension, creating ample room for interviews, lookbook shoots, or team briefings between takes.

Across the property, there are multiple rooms to support a full production day: four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, formal lounge, and a study, all styled with subtle sophistication. Whether you’re after prep areas, wardrobe zones, or multiple sets in one location, the layout adapts effortlessly. Statement chandeliers and considered lighting throughout add cinematic depth and warmth.

Step outside and you’ll find a lush garden that feels completely private and completely shootable. A central water feature, built-in BBQ, and mature landscaping offer a tranquil outdoor setting, while direct access via the rear laneway (through an electronic gate) makes loading gear in and out refreshingly easy.

This is a space that works hard and photographs beautifully. From fashion editorials to branding campaigns, interviews to wellness content, Heritage Haven in Moonee Ponds offers premium flexibility and light-drenched appeal just 15 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD.
