A house sale hoppers crossing has set a new price benchmark for the western suburb. It’s the highest priced home sold in the suburb since 2011 and a new record for Melbourne’s outer west. The home at 19-21 Ashley Ave has been refurbished and features high decorative ceilings, a pool and a spa. It was a long time coming for the vendors, Telstra Phonewords chief executive Gavin Scholes and his wife Trish, who are selling to downsize. They bought the property in 2001 for $2 million and last year hoped to sell it for between $2.1-$2.3 million.

The property was marketed through the national agency of Jim’s Conveyancing and a sale at auction last month yielded an impressive price of $531,500, up from $470,000 when it was first listed in 2013. The vendors have already moved to a new house in Hoppers Crossing and the house is now vacant.
