Tina Arena’s Melbourne home has sold for a song, fetching the singer more than $1.6 million just a month after it was passed over at auction.
Property agent Rob Elsom revealed Saturday that the double-storey terrace house had been snapped up by a young woman, according to Realestate.com.au.
The final price of the home was not disclosed however, with the three-bedroom abode originally priced around $1.8 million when listed in August.

The 180sqm property in Fitzroy attracted a single bid of $1.75 million at the September auction, but was passed in on.
The trendy home was then put to private sale after a price reduction, going for well above the $1.38 million the singer is believed to have payed for it.
Mr Elsom said the new owner ‘loved everything about’ the property and that the location had been a drawcard for her to buy.
‘She’ll end up doing a bit of work to it, but she’s pretty comfortable with it how it is,’ he said.

The home includes double glazed windows, wooden floorboards, as well as reverse cycle heating and cooling.
It also includes a large living area complete with fireplace and French doors and a rustic bluestone dining room.
Outside a secluded courtyard opens into a north-facing hidden garden, complete with a bench to sit back and relax on.
The musician said that the property was believed to be between 120 and 130 years old, during a segment on Better Homes and Gardens.

The 47-year-old moved back to Melbourne in 2015 after decades spent overseas in London and France.
‘I’ve been away 20-odd years, worked internationally and done some great things, (but) I just felt it was time to come home,’ she told News.com.au.
Tina first shot to fame as a child star on 1980s TV show Young Talent Time, alongside friend Dannii Minogue.
The acclaimed soprano, who has sold more than 10 million records, recently embarked on her Innocence to Understanding tour, where she played 14 dates across six states.
