Bit of Bavaria sells in Blacktown
A bit of Bavaria in Blacktown sold at weekend auction for $570,000.
When Manfred and Franziska Hiller built their family home 50 years ago, they created a Bavarian-style property unique to the Blacktown area.
The couple purchased the block at 25 Berg Street, Blacktown in the 1960s and Manfred built the three bedroom home himself, keeping true to their German culture.
“This home isn’t typical of the properties you find in the area,” selling agent, Andrew Sparks of Ray White St Martins said who had been quoting price expectations above $520,000.
“Inside has a true Bavarian feel to it and the garage has been converted to a man cave, complete with its own bar," he said.
The couple are moving into a local retirement village.
