A French-provincial-style waterfront home with its own jetty and private lift sold for well over $4.1 million, agent Geoff Tilden of Raine & Horne Gosford told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS.
A French-provincial-style waterfront home with its own jetty and private lift has sold for more than $4.1 million, a record price for Central Coast waterfront property.
Selling agent Geoff Tilden of Raine & Horne Gosford told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS the property was "the best you can build".
The property was bought by downsizers, a couple who were retiring, who had sold a large house on acreage in Sydney's Kenthurst, said Tilden.
The vendor was Central Coast businessman, John Clack, and his wife Caroline.
Downsizers are "a very large part of our market these days," said Tilden. Buyers are drawn to the wonderful Central Coast lifestyle, and "you can buy a lot more real estate for your money here", he said.
The home is located at 28 Albany Street, Point Frederick, a suburb commonly being referred to these days as "the Point Piper of the Central Coast".

The marketing campaign drew an extraordinary level of interest. Over the course of the campaign, the property attracted 20,000 views on social media and 145,235 views on property search sites. There were 395 enquiries, and 320 people inspected the property, said Tilden.
Offers came from a mix of overseas buyers, Sydney downsizers, and Central Coast upgraders,” said Tilden.
Point Frederick, with its magnificent views of Brisbane Waters and only one hour from Sydney, makes it very popular, said Tilden.
“People recognise that suburbs such as Point Frederick are close to Sydney, but are far enough removed from the city rat race, as well as being near to the region’s famous beaches such as Avoca and Terrigal,” he said.
