Twin Victorian cottages in Brunswick are being sold for the first time in 53 years by their 99-year-old owner, who turns 100 just two days before the December 6 auction.
Bought by the Megas family in 1972 after migrating from Greece, the homes at 2 and 4 Frith Street have housed generations of tenants – from families to university students – and were meticulously maintained by the family.
“Every summer we didn’t go away on holidays,” daughter Alexandra Megas told domain.com.au. “We were painting… and dad wanted to make sure the house was nice and clean for them.”
The cottages sit on one title, have newly updated interiors and carry a price guide of $1.888 million to $2 million. Selling agent Lisa Roberts says they suit “a multigenerational home or investment,” noting they previously rented for about $700 per week each.
For Megas, the sale is bittersweet, but she hopes the result will be “her mother’s biggest birthday gift yet.”
