Grandview, Prahran sold at $9 million plus

Grandview, the Prahran home of the Van Veenendaal family, has been sold.

Nicole Gleeson at Kay & Burton South Yarra was seeking offers at $9 million plus when the marketing campaign turned into a three-way private boardroom auction battle for the Grandview Grove estate.

With wrought iron wrapped balconies, it last sold $1.33 million for the 1895 six bedroom home in 1995. 

Set on 1676 sqm on one of Prahran's more prestigious tree-lined streets, the estate features a heated 17 metre swimming pool and a floodlit tennis court.

The neighbour's had sold their renovated home recently for $12 million plus.
