A house which is located at 50 Deighton Road, Dutton Park and known as the "worst house in Australia" will be auctioned in August 22, according to a report in News.com.au.
In a listing from Realestate.com.au, the 427 square meter house has three bedrooms, and one bathroom. In addition, the listing mentioned that the location has an easy access to amenities such as shopping area, dining area, entertainment place, and cultural places.
The article from News.com.au said that it is the first time listing agent Gunther Behrendt sold a property where a terrible state of the home has been a selling point. He said, "It's just so terrible. But subject to council approval, it's the perfect spot to build your dream home and take advantage of the inner-city lifestyle. If someone is looking for the worst house on the best street, this is really as bad as it gets."
In addition, Behrendt also mentioned, "In fact, one local artist was interested in capturing on canvas the iconic image of the house. I've never had anyone that wanted to create a painting of a house I was selling, but I can see how people are attracted to its character," as seen in an article from Yahoo! News.
Also, in an article from Domain, Behrendt mentioned that he never seen a great respond because people are interested in 50 Deighton Road.
The article from Yahoo! Homes cited that since 1950s, the house was owned by one of Brisbane's longest serving firefighters until nine years ago. The article added that he recently died so his children decided to sell the place. The children decided to auction the property to give a new family an opportunity to enjoy the home, or at least the location they have such fond memories of, as mentioned in the article from News.com.au.
The article from Yahoo! Homes also mentioned that Behrendt declined to tell how much the owners are aiming for. He said, "The executors just need to sell the property, so each buyer needs to determine their own sense of value." In addition, the article from Yahoo! Homes reported that the median house price in the area is about 750,000 Australian dollars - about 500,000 dollars in the U.S.
