The home of EJE Architecture director John Streeter and his wife Ami at 3 Ragan Close sold under the hammer on March 23 for $2.15 million.

It eclipsed the top mark for the suburb, which was the $1.76 million sale of a luxury, retreat-like home at 18A Hillcrest Parade last year, according to Australian Property Monitors data.

The Newcastle Herald believes it to be a record for the whole 2289 postcode, which includes Kotara, Adamstown, Highfields, Garden Suburb and Adamstown Heights.

There were seven registered bidders for the on-site auction and bidding opened at $1.7 million. Two parties fought it out, one local and the other from out of town, with a Dubbo buyer securing the property.

Around 200 groups had inspected the five-bedroom home, complete with a swimming pool and set on over 1200 square metres of land. 

It was marketed by The Agency's Cveta Kolarovski, who described it as "a big result" but was not surprised to have broken the $2 million mark.

"It's a beautiful property, quite unique and this area is up and coming. It's so central to everything," Ms Kolarvoski said.

"A lot of the people who came to this property were from Merewether, wanting something special."

Ms Kolarovksi also sold a four-bedroom home at 19 Westwood Avenue in Adamstown Heights for $940,000 through the week. 

On Saturday, she takes a four-bedroom Adamstown Heights house at 15 Wade Street to auction with a guide of $870,000.
