Parkmore, a historic 1891 Victorian mansion in Rosebud, the seaside town on the Mornington Peninsula, has finally sold after numerous attempts.
The grand six-bedroom Victorian home at 741-743 Point Nepean Road sold for an undisclosed price having revised price hopes of $2.6 million to $2.8 million during its most recent sales campaign.
