One of Redhead's highest sale prices was recorded at auction last weekend with the $2.27 million sale of an original home in a sought-after position.
Ben Robinson, of Robinson Property, guided north of $2 million for the single-level brick house at 3 Beach Road.
There were four registered bidders and predominantly local interest but the property was secured by an out-of-town buyer. It is believed to be the third highest sale for the beachside suburb and a street record. A suburb record $2.725 million was paid for a home in Bentley Street this month.
