A refurbished 1930s-era brick and tile cutie (pictured) on the Three Kings/Mt Roskill border in Auckland sold for $1.635 million when it was auctioned by Bayleys last week, although the price probably had more to do with the 802 square metre section and its subdivision potential than the house itself.
Other highlights from Bayleys auction rooms from around the country last week were a three bedroom house at Kelston in west Auckland that went for $650,000, a 1920s house near Western Springs that fetched $1.25 million and something that's increasingly rare these days, a house on the North Shore (at Browns Bay) that sold for under $1 million, a two bedroom house at Huia that sold for $581,000, a two storeyed villa near Cheltenham Beach that went for $1.875 million and a two bedroom unit at Mellons Bay in the eastern suburbs that fetched $670,000.
Down the line, one Hamilton home overlooking the Waikato River went for $842,000 while another fetched $1.25 million, while prices at the Tauranga auctions started at $591,000 and a character home on a lifestyle block north of Rangiora sold under the hammer for $515,000.
