The Millett Family is hoping to fetch a high price for a new Sunbury property valued at $1 million, with 100 per cent of the profit to go to the community.

The property, which will be auctioned off at no reserve, is located at 3 Delia Avenue, and boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a garage on a 848 square metre landscaped block.

All proceeds from the auction will go towards the recently launched Millett Family Community Grants program which provides funding for local not-for-profit community, sports and charity groups.

General manager Paul Millett said the initiative is the Millett Family’s way of thanking the Sunbury community for their support of the Rosenthal development over the last 10 years.

“The Millett Family have had a long history in Sunbury dating back to the mid 1800’s,” he said.

“In that time the Millett families have run many businesses and been involved in many community groups themselves and understand that financial support for such groups is important.

“Given our generational ties with the local Sunbury community, we see this as a gesture of gratitude to the community that has given us so much over the years.”

Mr Millett said the auction will take place at the property on Saturday, September 16, at 11am, and local not-for-profit groups can apply for the grants program via the foundation’s website by August 18.

“[The property is a] newly built double storey 43 square home… with a fully landscaped outdoor area.

“You can take in the remarkable views of the Macedon ranges from the comfort of [the] balcony. Everything has been thought of, just move in and enjoy.”
