The house at 158 Barton Rd, Hawthorne, sold for $2.158 million.

A HOUSE at Hawthorne has sold at almost a staggering $1 million more than the suburb average.

The property at 158 Barton Rd was sold earlier this month for an eye-watering $2,158,000.

The kitchen is galley-style.

According to CoreLogic data the suburb median house sale price for Hawthorne is $1,150,000, a figure that had risen 6.5 per cent in the three years to November 2018.

One of the many living areas.

Ray White East Brisbane agent Jonathan Peck said the house was bought by a young family who were drawn to the size and location of the 815sq m block.

There are polished timber floorboards and VJ walls.

“The block size and the location being in the River Avenues were probably the two key factors, as well as the Queenslander aspect,” Mr Peck said.

The agent said about 50 groups inspected the property and two written offers had been received.

The bedrooms are large.

The renovated 1920s character home has VJ walls and polished timber floorboards, along with high ceilings.

There is zoned ducted airconditioning, an inground saltwater pool, and views of the Story Bridge, Teneriffe’s historic woolstores and the city.

Mr Peck said Hawthorne was a blue chip area and could be expected to continue strongly.
