The location of this post-war house in Belmont saw it snapped up in a week.
Quick-thinking buyers scored a Belmont house that sold in seven days for the top end of the asking range.
The Geelong investors paid $669,000 for the three-bedroom home at 30 Cambridge Street, in a confidence-boosting result for vendors in the suburb.
Buxton agent Tony Moorfoot said the location, in one of Belmont’s most popular streets, was the big selling point for first-home buyers and investors.
Original features include timber floors and details in the loungeroom.

The post war red brick house with period features is on a 702sq m block that’s within walking distance of the High Street shopping strip and several schools.
Mr Moorfoot said side access from Oxford Street might lend itself to further development down the track.
“It was a really good location and it was just a beautiful home that was really aesthetically pleasing,” Mr Moorfoot said.
“We probably had 20-plus private inspections on it.
The updated kitchen links to the dining room.
Two of the bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.
“It just shows the market in Belmont right now is pretty good if you’ve got the right property and the right price.”
The house has high ceilings and timber floorboards, an open fireplace in the loungeroom, an updated kitchen and bathroom and a study for those working from home.
Outside there is a double garage and established gardens.
