The open living area at the house
It follows another record price in Randwick – the suburb’s fourth trophy home sale in just eight months.
The latest $8.5 million record for the Fraser St property, Randwick highlights the price escalation that is occurring in suburbs across Sydney.
There were five offers as locals competed against overseas buyers for the 1910 home, which last traded three decades ago for $585,000 in 1991.
The previous record for Randwick was secured at February auction when $7.3 million was paid on Bishops Ave.
It’s eye-watering $7.3 million price soared past their reserve by $1.3 million albeit just three of the 10 registered bidders managed to get in a bid after the eventual buyer opened the bidding at $5.9 million.
