Selling agent Tony Day, from Day and Hodgson Real Estate, said it was the ideal project for someone keen to get their hands dirty, with 17 registered bidders for the original, three-bedroom, Californian bungalow.
“It’s the ‘location, location, location’ story as this is one of the best streets in Tempe and the generous flat block features a wide frontage,” he said.
“Although it’s a fantastic opportunity to create a dream home, the home didn’t even have a back door, it required that much work.
“You could easily spend $400,000 – $500,000 on the property and the block is perfect to include a pool or even a granny flat.”
