By Leesa Smith for Daily Mail Australia and Emily Crane The first public housing property, with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, was auctioned off for $1.9 million tonight - $600,000 more than the terrace was predicted to be sold for. The heritage-listed home at 119 Kent Street is the first of 293 state-owned houses to go under the hammer in Millers Point and Dawes Point in Sydney's CBD. The auction was held in a secret location on Thursday night with authorities imposing strict rules on who can attend to keep potential protestors at bay over the controversial sale. More than 600 public housing tenants will be relocated as part of the selling - off process.
