    The property at 6/638 Brunswick Street has more character than car spaces (zero, to be exact) - and attracted more than 50 enquiries during its brief week-long campaign, with 38 groups coming through in a single weekend alone, according to Ray White Collective agent Ben Osborne.

    Mr Osborne said the vintage gem was snapped up by a first home buyer before it could even make it to Thursday's (6 November) scheduled auction.

    "We had eight offers on the table - everyone from first home buyers to older couples wanting a Brisbane base," Mr Osborne said.

    "Buyers came from as far as Noosa and the Gold Coast. The latest first home buyer scheme has really opened doors."

    Ray White Collective CEO Haesley Cush said the property's location to Brisbane’s CBD was the real drawcard.

    "You're a short stroll to the city, and public transport costs 50 cents. Who needs a car park when you've got Howard Smith Wharves, James Street, and Merthyr Village on your doorstep?" Mr Cush said.

    "There are currently very few options for buyers at the moment. They're taking their shot while they can."
