Sale of 'lifestyle property' raises ceiling for Cardiff Heights

SUBURB RECORD: This Cardiff Heights property has been sold for $1.63 million.

The $1.63 million sale of a Cardiff Heights property is believed to have set a new sale price record for the suburb.

Joshua O'Doherty, of LJ Hooker Belmont, and Altitude Real Estate's Tess Fearon sold the "lifestyle property" at 24 Cockburns Lane with Mr O'Doherty reporting "multiple buyers at play".

It featured a grand-scale, five-bedroom residence with a resort-like swimming pool on around 1.85 acres of land.

"At the moment, there's certainly demand for properties that offer something different and that offer a lifestyle," Mr O'Doherty said.

A Merewether residence with a unique look and outlook has been snapped up for $2.5 million. Robinson Property's Mike Flook marketed the home at 25 Scenic Drive.

It had panoramic water and city views and attracted "over 70-80 enquiries" in less than a fortnight on the market. The property had sold for $2.2525 million in April of 2018.
