New South Wales real estate: Bargain price for renovated miner's … – Nine

A buyer has secured a renovated home in New South Wales that's just a fraction of Sydney's median house price.
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom miner's cottage at 7 William Street in the country town of Walla Walla sold for $300,000 on November 6 prior to auction. For some comparison, the median house price for the New South Wales capital of Sydney is $1,578,099.
A blend of past and present, the property is partially renovated and contains some of its original features with the addition of a few modern touches.
The home is on the books of Virginia Scholz of Ray White Albury North.
The miner's cottage is located on a decent-sized block of 1088 square metres in the quaint town of Walla Walla in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales.
A "blend of vintage charm and modern comfort," as stated on the listing, the home retains its original oven and stovetop.

An added bonus for the buyer is that the property comes fully furnished.
Walla Walla is 541km south-west of Sydney and 370km north-east of Melbourne. There aren't enough sales over the past 12 months for Domain to obtain a median house price for the area.
Records show the property last sold for $125,000 in June 2020.
