Manor

1/10 Manor Street, Brighton  Sold for undisclosed

This renovated and light-filled townhouse, located at the front of a boutique block of only three residences one block from the bay, sold for an undisclosed amount. The well-attended auction commenced with a vendor bid of $1.7 million, followed by a genuine bid of $1.725 million. The property was passed in then sold in negotiations after the auction for a price well above the passed in amount.

 


Ormond

52 Ormond Street, Kensington Sold for $1,501,000

In one of Kensington’s prettiest tree-lined streets, this Victorian terrace needing a renovation had two strong bidders push the sale price more than $300,000 past the reserve. Other bidders did not get a chance to put their hands up, after the $1.1 million opening bid and quickly surpassed the $1.2 million reserve. A local buyer won the keys and will renovate the property at some point.
