While the facade stayed the same, the five-bedroom home on Percival Rd, Stanmore has been transformed since being bought for $2,535,000 in 2017 when the family moved from Enmore.

At the time Blackwell, who has been at NOVA since 2001, was working with Marty Sheargold and Kate Ritchie. He now works the syndicated national drive show alongside Ricki-Lee Coulter and Joel Creasey.

The Blackwells updated the 1910 Federation era house, especially at the rear, after securing approval for $962,000 renovation plans in 2020. It now has rear 5m high ceilings.

The kitchen has a three-metre solid teardrop-style marble island bench, a Billi Tap with filtered cold, boiling and sparkling water, a dual inbuilt Falcon stove and oven, and an integrated SubZero fridge.

It adjoins an alfresco entertaining area with a built-in Beefeater, cast iron barbecue and bar fridges.

At the rear of the 185sq m block is the garage with a bedroom above. It has rear street access

Monique, who goes by her maiden name Pickles, has operated Mond Women, her women’s yoga studio, from the modern wing, with p️rivate and semi-private classes.



The traditional facade remains.

“Moving house and packing up the Mond Women studio,” she recently advised her 1975 Instagram followers.

“No one likes moving, but the forced reason to shed can be a gift of reflection and a reminder of resilience.

“I have loved my studio and my space.

“Good bye beautiful girl-space, I’ll remember and cherish you forever.

“Home opens in September.

“After October Mond Women will find a new home/space,” she posted.
