A desirable location, good bones and “endless potential” combined to make this Moonah home a hit with buyers.

And it wasn’t just Tasmanians who had their eye on it.

No. 1 Gatehouse St zoomed toward the top of realestate.com.au’s popularity chart, coming in fifth nationwide.

Petrusma Property sales manager David McLeod listed the 1920-built three-bedroom house at a sharp $395,000. Realestate.com.au records show it sold for $541,000.

“The vendors are very happy with the result, as is the successful buyer,” Mr McLeod said.

“It was only on the market for eight days, and we had 153 groups come to inspect it.

“The property attracted multiple offers, and in the end was secured by a local investor.”
