A modernized residence in Albert Park, known as St Arnaud, sold for $6.66 million following a competitive auction involving three bidders. The property, located on Bridport Street West, represents one of the suburb’s highest recent sales this year. It last changed hands in 1991 for $403,000.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom home was listed for only five days with a price guide between $5.45 million and $5.85 million, marketed by Marshall White agents Ben Manolitsas and Nicholas Brooks. The site measures 345 square meters and features a rear frontage onto Little Greig Street along with a two-storey extension at the back of the property.

Architectural details include a veranda adorned with iron lacework, while the interior styling was completed by Cooper Robinson Interiors. The home preserves period elements such as high ceilings, Jarrah wood floors, and original fireplaces that enhance several formal living and dining rooms. Designed for large-scale entertaining, it offers a spacious open-plan living and dining area centered around a gas fireplace.

The kitchen contains stone surfaces and is equipped with St George appliances and an integrated Miele dishwasher. Extensive glass walls at the rear provide views of a mature citrus garden, which includes a solar-heated pool and a plumbed barbecue area.
