In Brisbane's western suburbs, sellers Marie and Stuart McFarlane recently netted $1.75 million for their five bedroom home at 30 Guthrie St, Paddington.
Despite being in the middle of renovations, the Brisbane couple made the decision to sell after Mr McFarlane took a job in Sydney.
“We had decided to see the renovations through after my husband accepted a job in Sydney but then COVID hit when we were preparing to move and finish the renovations,” Ms McFarlane said.
“We thought what’s the property worth unfinished and if we sold it as is would we get the same amount of money? Based on current renovated property sales we thought we’d put it to the market and we’re really happy with the results today.
“We’re so relieved, it means we can now move on to our life in Sydney without the hassle of doing any renovations so it’s all boxed up neatly.”
The five bedroom home sold through Ray White Paddington agent Angela Mastrapostolos who said the five week campaign drew plenty of interest but eventually went to a Taringa family to continue renovating the house.
We are so happy for Stuart and Marie McFarlane and daughter Niamh and dog Trix.
