WHEN photographer Rose Le Febvre and her husband bought their house in Putney, a leafy suburb on the Parramatta River about 10km northwest of the Sydney CBD, “no one wanted to live there”.
In 1999, they paid just $365,000 for their battle-axe with water views of the river.
Last year, it was valued at $1.8-$2 million.
According to CoreLogic, the median sales price in Putney is now $2.4 million.
“We were very, very lucky,” the 53-year-old said. “Our friends bought down in Francis Road near the river, their house would be over $3 million — they paid $450,000.”
