Melbourne funnyman Peter Moon has sold his Richmond house in one of the suburb’s most expensive deals this year.

The comedian offloaded 69 Rowena Parade for $3.22 million three days before its scheduled December 7 auction.

The comedian lived at the Richmond home with his family.

He also co-hosted Sydney’s popular 2Day FM morning breakfast radio show with Wendy Harmer and Paul Holmes for seven years from 1995.

Jellis Craig Richmond agent Trent Stewart said an early boardroom auction sealed the deal.

“We had an offer just short of $3 million, so we called in one other interested party who bid the property up to the final price,” Mr Stewart said.

“Both parties were young families in the local area looking to purchase a larger family home they could live in long-term. They have plans to renovate it in the future.”

The four-bedroom Federation home has been well maintained over the years, with only minor updates made since they bought it in 2008.

It features a wide central hallway that flows to an airy open-plan living room.
