Man's Home Becomes Legacy for Animals and Cancer Patients
26 Feb
Summary
- A man's home will be sold to benefit animal welfare and cancer research.
- The three-bedroom home was purchased in 1974 for $17,250.
- About 20 bidders are expected at the auction this weekend.
A remarkable act of generosity is set to benefit animal welfare and cancer research, as a Brisbane man's home of 51 years is auctioned this weekend. The lonely resident, who passed away last year, bequeathed the proceeds from his property sale to the RSPCA and Cancer Council Queensland.
This selfless intention, held for many years, bypasses distant family members. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom house at 65 Coxen Street in Zillmere was bought in 1974 for $17,250 and is now poised for sale.
Approximately 20 bidders are anticipated at the Saturday auction, drawn by the property's potential for renovation or rebuilding. Real estate experts note a strong market with limited supply.
Cancer Council Queensland expressed deep gratitude, stating the gift will fund groundbreaking research and support services. The RSPCA's vital work in animal rescue, care, and cruelty investigation will also be significantly bolstered by this legacy.
