Comedian Colin Lane buys Balaclava land parcel after St Kilda sale
Comedian Colin Lane, best known as one-half of former comedy duo Lano and Woodley, is among the rather busy Melbourne comedian property purchasing push.
He has bought a land parcel with partner Marnie.
The couple have spent $1,380,500 on a 285 square metre parcel in Balaclava.
North facing, the block near Balaclava village is ready to build with cleared level land and two street frontages.
Buxton St Kilda selling agents Arthur Apostoleros and Zoe Cherrie marketed the land as "as rare as hens teeth".
The couple have been living nearby with their three sons and boxer dog Mac in a five bedroom St Kilda Federation timber cottage known as Kipling Mews sold for $2.56 million in March (above).
Last weekend saw comedian Andy Lee sell in Seddon, securing a very bullish $1.04 million after the co-owned investment property came with initial $700,000 to $770,000 hopes.
And of course there was Dave Hughes who spent $3.07 million on the winning Block Elsternwick house of model Elyse Knowles and her boyfriend Josh Barker.
Last year Peter Helliar spent $2.55 million on a home in Ivanhoe, having sold his Plenty mansion for $3.2 million. And the talk is Wil Anderson has started looking following his move from Sydney to join the Triple M Hot Breakfast.
