14 Norfolk Rd, Surrey Hills – for herald sun real estate
The Surrey Hills house used to film Hollywood comedy Ricky Stanicky starring Zac Efron, John Cena and William H Macy has sold for more than $6m.
The Norfolk Rd house appears in about 20 minutes of the 2024 flick, with the Peter Farrelly directed flick’s big name cast treading the boards across a few weeks as it was filmed.
As the home hit the market the current owner revealed he’d thought the approach from a Hollywood production team had been a hoax, only to find himself watching Efron and Cena shooting a scene in his kitchen a few months later.

They also revealed the production team had indicated it was common for homes to be used a few times, not just once, raising the possibility it might be the scene of a future film.
Kay & Burton’s Scott Patterson handled the sale and would not comment on the price, except to say he believed it had likely set a record for a weatherboard home in the suburb.
But industry insiders said the house sold for more than $6m, with the home having been listed for $5.5m-$5.9m.
Mr Patterson did confirm two buyers bid for the upscale address, and that a local family had purchased it.
The back yard hosts space to shoot hoops, go for a swim or just to relax in the garden.
Impressive entertaining spaces await the home’s new owners.

“The buyers did appreciate the film history and were well aware of it — I think their kids were a bit excited,” he said.
The five-bedroom house has close to 650sq m of space under its roofline and was built in 2016 by the current owners.
The backyard pool, covered over and turned into a garden space in the film, also hosts a gym space and basketball court.
Mr Patterson added that the result was a positive sign for spring.
