It is the highest price ever paid for a property on Petrel Ave.
“The buyers are a Melbourne family who are planning to move up in January,” said Kollosche’s Eoghan Murphy, who is marketing the property with Troy Dowker.
“The owners did everything to make sure the property was ready to sell.
“And with our marketing we make sure we get everything we need so if someone in Sydney or Melbourne was buying it, it’s an easy process – we have videos, a 3D walk through, valuations, building and pest – everything they would need to make a final decision without stepping inside the property.”
