Collingwood: ‘The Lamington’ pad’s red hot auction result

An Ultra-Cool Collingwood apartment known as Lamington has eliminated expectations after selling for more than $ 1 million on Saturday.

The two bedroom house in 3f/68 Oxford ST with red tiles, metals and glass through at the same time was announced with a request range of $ 900,000- $ 950,000.

The owner of the apartment commissioned the architectural practice Rexroth Mannasmann Collective to transform its shell into an eclectic abode with a wall of high windows, transverse steel ceilings of 3.6 m high and polished wood floor boards.

A horizontal red line is presented on many of the walls, including the open plant and dining room, it is very similar to a jam strip inside a Lamington that contains the unofficial name of the apartment.

There is also a central capsule inside the house that contains a laundry and bathroom.

One of the walls of the capsule has a desktop and folding bed.

The residence has appeared both in Vogue Living and in the architectural review reviews.

Jellis Craig Inner, his northern partner, Simon Shrimpton, said that an offer of $ 900,000 began the auction since three bidders competed for the “very great” apartment.

It was placed on the market at $ 950,000 and ended up reaching $ 1,025 million.

“The apartment sold to a young couple of Fitzroy and the minors of energy were reducing a couple of the Suburbs of the East,” said Shrimpton.

“The couple he bought was very excited, they were the first to ask and the former through the first open for inspection,” Shrimpton said.

“They were absolutely in love with the place and all the design and nuances of design it has.”

Shrimpton said that for Melbourne’s interior apartments, the houses well designed with an elegant style tended to attract a lot of interest.

“Speaking, the architectural designed apartments are few and distant from each other and when they are offered to the market, buyers will always align to compete for them,” he added.

Also on Saturday, a house of the Double Victorian era in 1 Peel St, Newport, sold for $ 1.21 million.

The three bedroom house, which needs some work, including replastering, had a reserve of $ 1.05 million.

The owners of the Leight Melbourne and Noah Lautman-Wurt agency had the list.

Melbourne said that a young couple of the Western suburbs bought the property, from three bidders.

“The offer was fast and furious,” Melbourne said.

He pointed out that the houses at the lower end of Peel St, near Williamstown beach, often did not go on sale.

“In my 25 years covering the area, it is the second property that I have sold here,” he said.

Mr. Lautman-Wurt said that the auction began with an offer of $ 1m, with the lawyer and family of a buyer among the children.
