Six-bedroom Brighton trophy home the week's most expensive sale
A six-bedroom home in Brighton was the most expensive sale for the week ending June 23, selling at auction for $4,235,000, according to RP Data.
However two sales in Sydney's Coogee and Freshwater are likely to have exceded the Brighton price, but agents have kept their sale price as withheld.
The Hanby Street Brighton property (pictured below) features a timber and iron handcrafted entry door, landscaped gardens and poolside alfresco entertaining.
