A Sydney home that potential buyers couldn’t physically inspect because it was missing almost the entire roof has sold for nearly $3 million.
The three-bedroom house at 89 Fitzroy St in Sydney’s inner west suburb of Burwood sold for $2.75 million earlier this month.
This despite the fact that its roof was almost completely collapsed, having boarded up the windows and having a patio overgrown with weeds.
Interested buyers were informed that they could not set foot inside the home.

“Available for the first time in over 60 years, and now offering a unique opportunity to buy at land value on one of Burwood’s most desirable streets,” the advert said.
