Last year’s winners of The Block, Steph and Gian Ottavio have enjoyed another huge home win.
Last year’s winners of The Block, Steph and Gian Ottavio, have sold their renovated home in Bexley for $1,825,000.
It was a tidy profit after buying the Glenfarne St home in early 2020 for $1,020,000.
The property was located between their parents’ homes – Steph’s in Carss Park and Gian’s in Stanmore.
The renovated Federation-style home, with a modern extension, had been listed five weeks ago with a $1.7m price guide. It sold after private treaty negotiations following its early-April auction through McGrath agent Trent Tarbey.

The couple’s 2020 purchase of the then-two-bedroom, one-bathroom house on its 348sq m block followed nearly two years of househunting.
Steph, an architect, then began work on renovation plans that involved demolition of the rear.
The building works occurred over seven months in 2021, with the design including transforming the living and dining rooms into a main bedroom with an ensuite.
They built a Scandinavian-inspired rear extension, with the kitchen, living and dining spaces in an open-plan layout featuring vaulted ceilings, north-facing skylights, burnished concrete flooring and large sliding glass doors opening to the courtyard.
The kitchen features a striking Rosa Zarci marble bench.

Last year’s winners of The Block, Steph and Gian Ottavio have enjoyed another huge home win.
Steph and Gian moved into the home with their cavoodle, Lumiere, in early 2022 – just ahead of their April wedding.
They then submitted an audition tape to Channel 9 with footage taken during their build.
The couple pocketed a life-changing $1.75m last year after a $5m Hampton East house sale, which was the highest ever prizemoney in the show’s 19 seasons.
They have since launched a homewares brand – a collection inspired by the Japandi (Japanese and Scandinavian) aesthetic.
According to PropTrack, the median house price in Bexley is $1.59m. That’s up 7.1 per cent over the past 12 months.
