Renovated Melbourne house sells for $2.9m on busiest day of Saturday auctions since April 2022

A Melbourne property with a striking architectural design has been whisked off the market.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home at 23 Fowler Street in Box Hill South, Victoria, sold for $2,915,000 on Saturday, March 23, as stated on the Domain listing, and is an example of a mullet house.

Mullet houses are transforming Australian streets and are properties that are old school in front, and a party in the back. It’s a real estate term buyers may hear to affectionately describe a property that has a traditional and older-style façade and an ultra-contemporary extension at the rear.

Mark Fletcher, Spring Chen and Stefan Cook of Fletchers Blackburn handled the property campaign.

A build by R&K Verniers, the home is an effortless mix of traditional and contemporary design.

Pavers lead to a homely brick façade that’s surrounded by lush greenery. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors in the main living zone lead to the back garden that’s sleek and sexy with its urban vibe.

Entertaining will be a breeze with a terrace and barbecue, level grassed yard and pool. A wine cellar will also ensure guests have a glass in hand.

Interiors are modern with engineered American Oak floors, pendant lights and a glossy white kitchen with ample bench space.

Box Hill South is a leafy locale, 14km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Domain’s latest data reveals the median house price for the suburb is $1,448,000.

Records show the property last sold for $177,000 back in May 1993.
