This three bedroom mid-century home in the western suburbs may have an outdated kitchen, bathrooms and fixtures, but it still sold for a whopping $2.35m.
The home at 156 Harts Road, Indooroopilly, in Brisbane’s inner west went under contract on Saturday.

According to CoreLogic records, which listed a land valuation of $1.7m on the property, the $2.35m sale was the highest in Queensland in the past week.
Agents Colin Rosario and Leighton Jones of Leighton Jones Realestate – Kenmore listed the home as having to be seen to be believed.
“Set in the heart of Indooroopilly’s most sought after precinct, this home is being offered for sale for the first time in 47 years,” was how they described the property.
“Just minutes from St Peters Lutheran College, two golf courses, parkland, railway station, shopping centre and University of Queensland, this property must be seen to be appreciated.”
One of the biggest drawcards apart from the location itself has got to be the size of the land it came on – almost half an acre in total at 1968sq m.
“Enter through the front porch into a large vestibule and hang up your hat. This room leads into the expansive formal lounge and dining room warmed by the fire in the brick fireplace.”
“From here move to the large rear veranda which overlooks the beautiful backyard and is perfect for entertaining.”
It also has a very large master bedroom with a parents’ retreat at the top of the house with two built-in robes and its own toilet and bathroom.
While the listing may have sung the praises of the house itself, it’s unclear at this stage whether the incoming owners will want to maintain the home or attempt to start again from scratch.
