91-93 Abbotsford Rd, Homebush NSW
One of the earliest settlements in Homebush has broken the residential sales record by $2.15m over the weekend.
The landmark ‘Stockman Manor’ estate at 91-93 Abbotsford Rd had been tipped to sell for $5.5m prior to auction and had received a high volume of interest from local buyers.
Spanning 1,858 sqm, the six bedroom and three bathroom property is the largest land holding on the street.
The estate sold for $7.425m at auction over the weekend.
The auction saw seven registered bidders competing for the home in front of a crowd of 150 people.
Bidding began at $5.3m before jumping up to the $5.5m guide and subsequently climbing up to the $6m reserve.
A young family of entrepreneurs secured the property, reaching the final offer of $7.425m.
The property was listed via Richard Matthews agent Vivek Tailor, who said that buyers had been drawn to the indoor and outdoor spaces.
