89 Oakridge Street, Burbank
A vast estate that changed hands for just $2.75 million in 2016 has been listed for sale, and it is expected to demolish the suburb record with a price guide of over $15 million.
But it can be revealed that the current owner has sunk almost $9 million into upgrading the property, from updating the pool to renovating the main house, extending the garage, adding a three-bedroom guest house, adding a new greenhouse and warehouse, a sunroom and atrium, a new wing on the main house and extensive landscaping and excavation of the lake.
Located at 89 Oakridge St in Burbank, where the median house value in the greenbelt suburb is now $3.185 million, the 11 bedroom, 10 bathroom residence sits on 11.45ha block, with top offers closing on October 30 at 4pm.
Called Oakridge Lake Estate, it is being marketed by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agent Malcolm Li.
