The expired home of the local ‘Gilmore Girls’ from New Farm, with connections for a former Prime Minister of Queensland, has been sold for more than $ 4.5 million without a single cents spent on the renovation.
The house with four bedrooms, one bathroom on 3 Mark ST had been owned by the Gilmour family for 134 years, given a nickname locally after the popular TV show.
When resident Margaret Gilmour died last year at the age of 101, the real estate of 810 m² went to her sister Florence’s family.
3 Mark St, New Farm, was owned by the ‘Gilmore Girls’ of the suburb and was first sold in the centuries of history.

Resident Margaret Gilmour’s sister Florence was married to former Prime Minister Sir Joh Bjelke-Pernes, whose family inherited the house.
Florence Gilmour was married to controversial former Prime Minister Sir Joh Bjelke-Pernes, where their descendants choose to give up the house.
The family decided to sell the house for the first time in its history, because he was largely untouched since the construction more than a century ago.
Place the new farm agent Heath Williams said that the auction attracted a crowd of about 80 people, with 13 bidders registering to take a chance on the building.
“We actually already registered about 5 people in advance, so it just got a lot busier,” he said. “We didn’t know how many people would register at the end of the day, but 13 was certainly a lot.”
The dilapidated house has hardly been touched since construction, but is on a prime 810 m² near the city.
The house was enough to attract a crowd of around 80 people, with 13 registered bidders who want to buy it.
The bid started at $ 3 million, already $ 200,000 more than the median house price of $ 2.8 million.
After a “fast” series of bids, five active bidders were gradually reduced to two after an offer of $ 4.3 million.
“The last two bidders actually fought,” said Mr. Williams. “The bidder who eventually won was bigger, more brave bids to hit the other.”
The auction ended with the winning bidder who took big swings to surpass the underbidder, eventually sold for $ 4,575 million.
The house goes to a family that returns to Australia from the UK, who are planning to do a complete renovation.
After almost 30 bids in general, the house finally sold for the huge sum of $ 4,575 million.
The house goes to an expat family that returns from the UK, looking for renovating the house and making it their own.
Williams said that the Bjelke-Pernesen family was happy with the outcome of the auction.
“There is nothing from this house that doesn’t have to be touched – it’s a lot of work for a big renovation, so it’s a fairly high price compared to another renovated house,” he said. “They were really happy with the price, and it went to a buyer who makes a family at home … [instead of being] Split and re -developed. “
