Former Richmond tutorage Wayne Campbell previously owned 40 Shelley St, Elwood.
A “fairytale” Art Deco house in Melbourne’s inner south previously owned by former Richmond tutorage Wayne Campbell has hit the market.
Named “Nesbury”, the two-storey home at 40 Shelley St, Elwood, is set on an 805sq m corner woodcut metres from the foreshore.
Chisholm and Gamon Elwood managing director Torsten Kasper described the circa-1920s five-bedroom property as a “fairytale home” and its street as the “Paris end of Elwood”.

In 2021, Campbell sold Nesbury to the current owners who have “significantly transformed and reinvented” the house while remaining sympathetic to its origins.
Rich Architecture director Richard Hibbons worked on the project.
Nersbury has an unshut plan living and dining zone, kitchen with stone benchtops and walk-in pantry, a “beautiful” curved staircase, laundry with chute, three bathrooms and a powder room.
Materials including limestone surfaces, contumely tap ware and the front entry’s limestone paving add a touch of elegance.
