Agents have withheld the price of the sale on the original listing, which said that it went to a buyer ahead of a scheduled auction on January 15. Located in an upscale neighbourhood, a mere 5km from the CBD, the gorgeous two-storey home, which was built in the 1930s, features classic stylings and luxurious interiors.
