Clayfield's White Gables sold to local medical professionals
White Gables, a four bedroom house in Clayfield, an inner northern suburb in the City of Brisbane, sold at weekend auction.
The $4 million buyers were local medical professionals with two young boys, who Domain reported had been hunting for their perfect home for three to four years.
It was offered by Matt Lancashire and Christine Rudolph from Ray White who had three registered bidders.
Bidding opened at $3 million going up in $250,000 increments. It was announced on the market at $4 million.
The 9 Craven Street home combines traditional elegance with architectural style.
White Gables, a much-admired Brisbane residence, has been held by only three separate families since its creation in the early 1900s.
The house was commissioned by wealthy timber merchant George Brown who chose to construct the statement wedding gift for his daughter out of red brick with an extensive use of the finest timbers throughout the interior.
It comes with six spacious bedrooms, gourmet stone kitchen, living and entertaining on in one level, and six car garage.
Other features include alfresco, pool, and tennis court area, wine storage and study room.
Nestled on a 1240 sqm block, it is only 100 metres walking distance to St Rita's College and 10 minutes travel time to Brisbane CBD and Brisbane Airport.
The listing was the sixth most viewed property in Queensland during May with more than 150 people turning up to watch the weekend's 3pm on-site auction.
