Winning spin for Canberra's rotating house: $1.2 million Crace record sale
The solar powered rotating home in Canberra’s outer-north has sold for $1.2 million.
The sale is believed to be a record price in the suburb of Crace.
The house, called Girasole, is the brainchild of builder John Andriolo and stands at 12 Indi Close.
A mid-May auction campaign failed to attract any bidders.
Pre-auction expectations were above $1 million.
It was bought by a local retired couple - Phillip and Anna Burroughs who are looking to downsize from a much larger house in Nicholls.
Co-selling agent Stephen Bunday of LJ Hooker Dickson says the property is worth around $1.2 million when the value of the land is factored in.
Bunday says the Burroughs were the the only ones to put in an offer with the couple reportedly very excited about "living in a moving work of art".Contracts were exchanged today.
It is supported by 28 wheels and driven by two three-speed motors.
It takes 10 minutes to fully rotate and is controlled by a touch screen panel.
"It may be ahead of its time," said Bunday when it failed to sell at auction.
