A former chief executive of Tourism Australia, John Morse, secured $1.2 million for his Annandale warehouse abode following its recent auction marketing campaign through Bresic Whitney agent Dominic Kuneman.

Set on a 241-square-metre Nelson Street block, the converted warehouse had been tipped to fetch more than $1.1 million.

Morse paid $981,000 in 2009 and then re-roofed the warehouse living space. The interiors of the warehouse were also updated.

Morse now works in the Aboriginal arts industry being awarded an Order of Australia in 2003 for services to tourism and the development of indigenous tourism, he manages the Indigenous Tourism Masterplan in Arnhem Land.

The property previously traded at $850,000 in 2005 and $352,000 in 1997.
