Dearest sale in Oriental Bay

Houses we remember selling no 2. $2.26m, Oriental Bay 2006. Estate. Stuffed pet in bedroom. $100k vases in lounge. I believe the new owners have not yet finished upgrade. That is, 6 years of rebuild! A great house in the best part of the bay. Next door recently became the new highest sale at$4.5m, & worth every cent.
