A stunning period home in the heart of Warrnambool will go under the hammer on Saturday.
It is one of nine properties to be auctioned in a bumper weekend of auctions.
'Mirma' has attracted inquiries from all across Australia, according to Brian O'Halloran and Co director Brian Hancock.
He said the period home offered a rare opportunity for someone to buy a historic home with a low price point.
The price range for the home, which is in original condition and would benefit from a revamp, is $930,000 to $995,000.
"It's been listed for $935,000 to $995,000 but public demand will determine the price," Mr Hancock said.
He said the historic home was built for A.H. Davies in 1905.
"It's been a house that has been admired over the years," Mr Hancock said.
"I think it will create a lot of interest."
The grand home is located on a 1636 square-metre block. It boasts stunning ornate details on the facade, Corinthian columns at the front entrance, bluestone steps and superb original lead-stained glass windows in the entrance foyer. It also includes a drawing room with a bay window seat alcove, Victorian cornices and superb elaborate painted centre roses.
Mr Hancock said a large garage and outbuildings were also on the property.
It has been owned by the same family for almost four decades.
It will be auctioned on site at 11.15am on March 26.
Harris and Wood has three properties that will be auctioned on Saturday.
These include a three-bedroom townhouse in Schnapper Lane, Warrnambool.
It offers two bathrooms and was built in 2018.
The price guide for the property is $750,000 and $800,000 and it will go under the hammer at 11.30am.
