Popular mid-century home sold in just five days – realestate.com.au

ALL it took was a handful of days.

It hit the market, people swarmed the property to catch a glimpse first hand, and then, naturally, it was secured by new owners.

This was the story for No.14 Brushy Creek Rd, Lenah Valley, a special ‘60s era retro property that had the Hobart market buzzing.

The property was only online for a few days, but it zoomed to the top of realestate.com.au’s Tassie most-viewed homes chart.

Listed with Knight Frank’s Abi Freeman and Jack Waller​, the four-bedroom house was sold within five days.

Mr Waller said the campaign was a whirlwind.

“We were inundated with inquiries about this property,” he said.

“We had over 100 people through the home within the first three days on the market.”

While that sounds fast, it was not surprising.

“Mid-century modern homes usually attract strong interest, particularly when they are in sought-after locations like Lenah Valley,” Mr Waller said.

“This was further fuelled by investor interest, due to the separate one-bedroom flat downstairs.

“A local buyer fought off strong competition to secure the property and plans to retain the best of the retro features.”

No.14 features a light-filled and spacious floorplan across two levels.

Extensive windows throughout capture mountain views, while retro fixtures and fittings — including tiles, joinery and timber accents — give this home its heart and soul.

The ground floor has a living room, dining room and kitchen.

There are three bedrooms on this floor, serviced by a central bathroom.

A staircase leads to the pool pavilion with an in-ground pool and hot tub, adjacent bathhouse, and outdoors to greenhouses, a potting shed and courtyard garden with a gazebo.

The home was listed for sale at “Offers over $895,000”. Its sale price is currently not disclosed.
