Haberfield Federation sets $4.23 million record

Haberfield, in Sydney’s inner west, saw a new suburb record when a five-bedroom Federation home sold under the weekend hammer at $4.23 million.

Three of six registered bid at the McGrath auction for the 1390 sq m property.

After a vendor bid of $4.05 million was placed, just the two parties head to head for the Federation home at 25 Turner Avenue.

The Haberfield record-setter was another five-bedroom home at 9 Forrest Street.

On a 938-square-metre  block, the Federation bungalow featured a bold new two-storey addition.

It sold for $3,965,000 through Julie Hatch at Cobden & Hayson Annandale. There were seven registered bidders.

The previous record was for a four-bedroom house at 14 Waratah Street that sold for $3.52 million in 2009.

There was the institutional sale of 1-5 Rogers Avenue for $5.25 million in 2012.
