Van Diemen’s Land director Jonathan auf der Heide and his director partner Katie Found have sold their Carlton North home for one of the suburb’s top prices.

The circa-1880s four-bedroom pad at 680 Drummond St fetched $4.915m at auction — $415,000 above upper expectations after being listed with a $4.1m-$4.5m price guide.

CoreLogic records show the couple purchased house for $3.525m in 2019, with the latest sale an impressive $1.39m above this price in just a few years.
