According to selling agent Anton Williams of Ray White Glenelg, who is presenting the home to market along with Jordan McMahon, as many as 166 groups viewed the home over the last two days.
“The property has garnered a huge amount of interest among buyers who came in for the open over the weekend,” Mr Williams said.

“A number of factors are driving the interest. Apart from a strong marketing campaign, it’s the uniqueness of the property and of course, the prestigious location,” he said.
The home sits on a 1006sqm allotment and has five bedrooms – the master suite complete with a luxe ensuite. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living room sits at the home’s rear and opens to the side to a glamorous patio with a fire pit that flows to an outdoor entertainment area; and to the pool area at the rear.

Large windows flood the home with light, and a two-car carport sits at the front of the home, with the driveway providing handy off-street parking space for additional vehicles. The landscaped gardens are also a highlight.
The home has attracted strong interest from the moment it hit the market, not just from local buyers but those from interstate and overseas as well.
