St Vincent Place, Albert Park sells post-auction
Number 35 St Vincent Place, Albert Park, a terrace that sits on 289 square metres, sold post-auction for an estimated $3.3 million plus after four bidders participated in the weekend auction.
Marshall White's John Bongiorno conducted the auction, which opened with a vendor bid of $2.9 million and was passed in at $3.28 million.
It comes with four bedrooms, formal sitting and dining rooms and is set opposite St Vincent Gardens within the iconic double storey row, Rochester Terrace.
It has a wide entrance hall with Baltic pine floors and ornate high ceilings.
Focused around an original kitchen fireplace, the casual dining room and well-equipped kitchen open out to a side deck and paved entertaining courtyard. Out the back is a two-storey self-contained apartment with entry from Bevan Street
It had been tipped to fetch in excess of $3 million - a bit under the strip's record $13,590 per square metre according to James Buyer Advocates - through Marshall White agent Oliver Bruce.
It had been last traded in 2008 when bought by the Kelly family from the gardener Clive Blazey at $3.005 million. Blazey, whose father founded Hortico, began the Digger's Seeds business in the 1970s putting seeds into envelopes with his wife Penny around the kitchen table of their then Albert Park home.
