Former Sydney brothel sells for $2.8 million
<p>A Surry Hills terrace home purchased in 1916 for just £30 has been sold for a whopping $2.87 million.</p>
<p>$440,000 above the property’s reserve price, the owners told reporters they received more than “we expected.”</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, the home according to Karen Geary, whose father first purchased the property, has a shady history: “It was a brothel at one stage [during the depression]. My father probably wouldn’t have used that word though.</p>
<p>“My father used to say what happens upstairs stays upstairs.”</p>
<p>With a rich history found in a prized suburb, it leaves little to wonder as to why the home shot well above the reserve price.</p>
<p>Along with a comfortable, cosy space of three bedrooms and one bathroom, there is a plethora of natural light, sky-high ceilings, many skylights and well-loved timber floors throughout the whole home.</p>
