Mediterranean-style masterpiece built in six months sells for $3.91m
A Mediterranean-style masterpiece built in six months has sold for $3.91 million at auction, with a local couple placing the winning bid 40 minutes after seeing it for the first time. Dubbed Casa Agape, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom showstopper at 68 Burn Street, Camp Hill, features soaring three-metre-high ceilings, a luxe pool house and a media room – and now holds the street's house price record. With a crowd of 150 onlookers, five bidders stepped into the auction ring on Saturday, a local doctor throwing down a $3.5 million opening bid. Bidding climbed in $100,000 leaps to $3.7 million before the auction paused at $3.82 million, with the late-arriving couple negotiating on the floor to seal the deal. 'The whole thing was over in under 10 minutes,' said selling agent Shane Hicks, of Place Estate Agents. 'The couple who got it didn't step foot inside the home until 10.30am – just half an hour before the auction. But they'd studied the floorplan online and once they saw it in person, it exceeded their expectations.' Hicks said the final price exceeded the reserve. 'Nixon Constructions built and an incredible amount of detail went into it to get the floorplan just right. The en suite and walk-in-wardrobe are a level of luxury that's as good as it gets.'

Huge suburban crowd cheers for luxury house sale at sausage sizzle auction
Around 150 people celebrated the sale of a new luxury home on the market with a sausage sizzle, at the massive Saturday morning auction. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom house at 68 Burn Street, Camp Hill, drew 6 registered bidders for the 604 sqm property. Named 'Casa Agape', the home was built by the vendors as a luxury two-level residence, sitting on a corner block with a Mediterranean design. Place Camp Hill agent Antonio Puopolo said the mood for the auction was already energised with the sausage sizzle taking place before the sale. 'We get a good vibe going before the auction,' he said. 'You're filling people's bellies and having a good time. It's just something different that no one else does.' 'There was a lot of people walking through, a lot of excitement about the home … people were eager to see where it would end up.' With 3 active bidders, the starting offer of $3.5 million priced some potential buyers out, already representing the highest sale price on the street. There was a quick jump to $3.6 million in the bidding process, before offers quickly went back and forth with rising bids of $25,000. After more than $200,000 offered on top of the starting bid, the auction was paused for negotiation – before selling for a final price of $3.91 million. Mr Puopolo said the vendors, a mum and dad couple of owner-builders, were 'over the moon' at the sales result. Meanwhile, the home was bought by an older couple purchasing on behalf of their adult daughter, who was unable to attend in person. 'She's moving up from the Gold Coast to be closer to her Mum and Dad, as she's just had a baby,' Mr Puopolo said. 'They love the home … [and] the parents are very excited for their kids to be closer to them.'
