A home in Wollongong's northern suburbs, which had been maintained by the same owners since its construction in 1970 has quickly found a buyer.
The home's retro features proved popular as the entry-level home was sold for just above the suburb's median price.
The four-bedroom home, located at 6 Palm Grove, Thirroul was sold for $1.9 million.

"The retro features are attractive to them, although also it was the solidly built brick house that was in their budget."
Meanwhile, a new home in Wollongong's northern suburbs with a quality of the build that's "off the charts" is on the market.

The four-bedroom, off-form concrete constructed home home boasts a 22-metre frontage.
The home's features include polished, heated concrete floors, bespoke feature lighting and knotwood timber accents; open-plan living and dining extending to the expansive deck; three-metre ceilings; and a custom four-person lift from the ground to the top floor.
The project has been developed by SJC Property.
