“The campaign was very active with the property receiving more than 10,500 views online and over 140 groups actually coming through the home,” Mr Standeven said.
“What really resonated was the property’s position within the bay and the fact the extension added in the ’90s was from local architect John Chaplin which was also a real drawcard.
“The result is a reflection of just how much demand there is for property right now – there isn’t much supply and the competition is strong for properties available on the market.
“We’re also seeing interest from Auckland and further afield in Australia so that’s increasing the competition. The local buyers of this property did well to beat that competition.”
