Kath and Kim home at 4 Lagoon Place, Patterson Lakes, sold for $1.485 million
KATH and Kim’s “noice, different, unusual” Patterson Lakes home has sold after a month on the market, fetching a foxy seven-figure sale price.
The property at 4 Lagoon Place sold for $1.485 million on November 18.
The home that was the setting of the classic Australian television series hit the market with price hopes of $1.3 million-plus in late October.
Ray White Patterson Lakes principal Stephen Hill said the home had generated plenty of buzz, and eager Kath and Kim fans had outweighed buyers at first.
“The first Saturday we opened it, we had people lined up all the way out the front but 95 per cent of those were there just to take photos,” Mr Hill said.
“We had a few buyers that day, and the following week the same thing, but the week after that it was all buyers.”
Mr Hill said three offers were made on the property.
It was snapped up by a buyer from Bentleigh, who will no doubt be celebrating with a glass of cardonnay.
Internally, the home had retained virtually the same foxy looks it had presented in the show. But it had a far more scenic outlook than the series let on, with water views and direct access to a private beach area and jetty.
Mr Hill said this prime waterfront position had been hidden during filming of the series, and was of key appeal to buyers.
“It was in a fantastic location on the main canal, with beautiful water flow and facing the right direction,” Mr Hill said. “Lagoon Place is a fantastic street.”
Mr Hill said the home had a “very workable floorplan, it just needed an updating”.
The sales listing had described the property as “Luxury Living Day & Knight.”
Taking this “umurus” approach had been the only way to go, Mr Hill said.
“It’s an iconic house, for those years on TV it had massive impact and obviously still does today to attract that sort of attention so you’ve got to use that avenue to have a bit of fun,” he said.
“And for the purchaser, not only is it a great location but it’s a talking point when they move in — nobody else can say that they have the house from Kath and Kim.”
Mr Hill said the sale demonstrated the strength of the Patterson Lakes market.
It’s been very strong, in the last six months especially. There have been some amazing results on the waterfront,” he said.
“To get that sort of result, you wouldn’t have got that a year ago.”
