BOUGHT* - $1,602,000

The constant drizzle of rain brought the 60 or so neighbours inside this corner period home in anticipation of a sale price, but they were to be disappointed. As members of the crowd manouvered for positions in the living areas, hallway and even spilling onto the front porch, auctioneer Steve Abbot provided his opening spiel. The auction opened on a vendor bid of $1,500,000 and with only one bid offered of $1,525,000, Steve duly passed the property in to this bidder for the exclusive first right to negotiate. Bought after.
