Northcote Auction brings smiles all round

As we mentioned in last week's news update, Northcote is an area that has real appeal to many different types of home buyers in Melbourne. However, very few Northcote buyers would ever have come across a setting like an apartment at 27/20 Ross Street.

Situated right on the edge of the lush greenery that surrounds Merri Creek, this group of tightly held apartments had the feel of a bushland retreat, complete with a chorus of birdsong and breezes through the leaves. Close proximity to Oldis Gardens further enhanced this apartment’s nature-laden atmosphere. Yet it was within a five-minute stroll of Westgarth Train Station plus the cafes and trams on High Street, making an easy inner-city commute.

The apartment itself had been tastefully updated, offering a stylish kitchen with stainless steel appliances, generous living space with timber feature floors, two robed bedrooms and a combined bathroom and laundry.

Despite the absence of a lift and two flights of stairs to negotiate, this unusual offering produced a competitive auction, with the sale price exceeding our happy vendor’s expectations. As you can see in the photo, everyone seemed happy with the final result.

The key message for anyone considering selling in Northcote, or any of the adjoining suburbs in Melbourne’s inner north, is that the favourable weather of Autumn will soon begin to turn to Winter, so don’t leave it too long to get the wheels in motion.
