An inner-city Brisbane pad (above) that packs a punch is going under the hammer at 3pm, through Ray White South Brisbane principal Luke Croft.
When Ant McCormack and Melina Hobday purchased 17 Hove St in Highgate Hill, it was an 1880s character cottage with a retro touch.

Hidden behind the worker’s cottage facade is a double-storey home with all the comforts and qualities needed for a modern lifestyle.
“It’s just amazing what can be done with a small lot,” Mr Croft said.
“It ticks all the boxes of low-maintenance living in a premium inner-city location. I’ve worked in the area for 16 years and I’ve never sold anything like this.” |

Ray White Carnegie’s Tom Grieve is both marketing and calling the 10.30am auction of an original 1970s villa (above) at 2/62-64 Railway Rd, Carnegie.
“I think these properties are always hotly contested in every market but at the moment, not having exceptional growth makes them more affordable to a lot more buyers,” Mr Grieve said.
“Anything up to the first home buyers threshold is still getting a lot of bidders if priced right.”
The freestanding two-bedroom home has an indicative selling price of $640,000 to $700,000. |
