Who is the proud owner of this record-breaking $1.5m home in Oxley?

A huge property hidden up the back of Oxley broke the suburb record this week - but who was lucky enough to buy it?

It turns out a real estate agent, who heads up his own boutique real estate agency, now owns the keys to the six-bedroom home, three-bedroom home at 27 Nunan Street. His outstanding negotiation skills likely played a part in outbidding five other registered bidders, including a couple from Melbourne who were keen to move to Canberra’s deep south.

At a sale price of $1.511m, the home on Nunan Street now holds the suburb record, previously held by a house on Schonell Street which sold in May for $1.33m.

The Nunan Street property’s huge 1890 square metre block, a reserve “literally over the back fence” and the U-shaped floor plan of the home were features that pushed the price to a record level, according to agent Cameron Whitnall of Ray White.

“We had a lot of big families and blended families interested because of the segregated floor plan,” Cameron said.

“Kids don’t tend to leave home these days, so it provided those separated areas for parents, and then the kids.

“We were quietly confident we’d get to the reserve but weren’t expecting a suburb record.”

The Oxley house wasn’t the only home breaking records in Canberra in the lead-up to Christmas.

In Gungahlin, a stunning executive home on the outskirts of Canberra, in Throsby, sold for a record $2,001,000 at auction on 27 November 2021. The home is located at 47 Shingleback Street and was sold by Theo Koutsikamanis and Sam Griffiths of Bastion Property Group.

Meanwhile, nine minutes away in Moncrieff, a three-bedroom property recently broke the record for a townhouse in the suburb, with a sale price of $763,250. It was the fourth sale in the same complex for New Door Properties’ Yash Sethi, who said the price of properties in the same complex at 1 Bon Scott Crescent “continues to rise week after week”.

The record-breaking townhouse was purchased by two first home buyers, a couple who plan to stay and raise a family in the townhouse.

“They loved the outdoor space and the fact that even though it’s a townhouse it gives the feel of a house,” Yash said.

“As well, the location is beautiful.

“For first home buyers, they had a good budget.”
