An Auckland villa bought 48 years ago for $21,000 sold last week for $1.85 million, and the new owners have grand plans for the vintage home. More than 40 groups had inspected the three-bedroom house on Selbourne Street, in Grey Lynn, but Gretchen Houston and her husband Blair were determined that they would be the ones to take possession so they made an offer of $1.8m.
