Denis Napthine accepts early offer for Melbourne bolthole
Former state premier Denis Napthine and his wife, Peggy, have sold their Melbourne bolthole before auction.
The three level terrace in inner north west Kensington Banks collected $1.285 million – a touch over the upper guide ($1.275m).
The pair paid $390,000 in 2002; on 168 square metres at 14 Gardner Lane, abutting the former Stock Route of the Newmarket Saleyards, it contains four bedrooms and a self contained studio over a double garage.
An auction was scheduled Saturday (story continues below).
Nelson Alexander’s Ryan Currie was the agent.
The deal comes just over two years since Mr Napthine, a vet and the former member for South West Coast, and Ms Napthine, sold their long-time Port Fairy family home for c$2.5m and relocated to Geelong.
