Old school properties snapped up
This great old-world charmer at 3 Rocklea Drive, Torquay sold under the hammer for $710,000.
ONE Agency Shaun O’Callaghan topped off a great weekend with two properties selling at auction for above expectations in front of good-sized crowds.

Twenty-three bids pushed the price to $710,000, where the hammer fell to a young family who have had their hearts set on a seachange for some time.
Moving to the afternoon, a unique property at 190 Duffields Road, Jan Juc, that also fronts the Great Ocean Road and is a gateway site the proposed Spring Creek development, went to auction with a first bid of $900,000, with five bidders competing until the hammer fell at $1.18 million to a nearby landowner.
