A five-bedroom Edwardian style family home in Canterbury is reportedly this week's most expensive sale, selling prior to auction for $3.4 million, according to RP Data.

Located at 51 Wattle Valley Road, the circa-1900 property has been recently renovated but retains period features including high ceilings and a leadlight.

The home was scheduled to go under the hammer on September 21 with a quoted priced of $3.25 million to $3.5 million.

After spending on a week on the market, the home was snapped up.

“It’s a fabulously presented home in a fabulous location,” says listing agent Stan Katz of Bekdon Richards Hawthorn.

Situated on 1,075 square metres, the property’s kitchen features a caesarstone benchtop and stainless steel miele appliances and overlooks the timber deck and inground pool.

The home was previously listed in September 2005 for $1.55 million through Cantwells Property Group.

The median house price in Canterbury is $1.7 million, a 5.1% change in the past five years, according to RP Data.

Victoria dominated the most expensive list this week, taking out nine out of the 10 spots.
