An elegant Beaumaris home didn’t receive a single buyer bid, passing in on a vendor bid of $2.85 million at auction on Saturday.

That was despite the four-bedroom home at 59 Cromer Road having been fully renovated inside and out with beautiful new gardens added. It had a luxe kitchen with butler’s pantry, al fresco dining area, a swimming pool and a reserve of $3.05 million.
