The Block 2020: Jimmy and Tam's Block house quietly marked as sold

Jimmy and Tam’s house from last year’s season of The Block has found a buyer, months after its initial sale at auction fell through.

The winning home from the reality renovation TV show fetched $4.256 million at auction in November, before the buyer failed to settle and it was offered to the market again before Christmas.

It has now been marked as sold on its online listing. It was marketed through McGrath St Kilda’s Michael Townsend and Josh Stirling.

Mr Townsend confirmed the sale when contacted by Domain but would not be drawn on any other details.

A Nine spokesman did not comment when contacted. Nine is the majority owner of Domain.

Jimmy and Tam have previously confirmed they will get to keep their million-dollar prize money despite the initial sale falling through.

The Queensland couple walked away from last year’s season of the reality renovation TV show with a $966,000 premium at auction and the $100,000 winner’s cheque before the dream crumbled.

The buyer and final price paid will be revealed at settlement, and no sign of the buyer’s identity has yet appeared on public records.

A local family paid about $4 million for the residence, said one source familiar with the deal but not authorised to speak publicly.

Potential buyers had been touring the stylish Palm Springs-inspired, 1950s-style residence, which features five bedrooms, a pool, barbecue, Gaggenau kitchen appliances and a double garage.

When news of the failed initial settlement broke, under-bidder Danny Wallis was seen as a potential buyer but he had already bought three other Block houses on auction day, spending $11.8 million.

Buyer’s agents who work on the show had potential buyers interested at the time of the auction but they soon bought elsewhere.

The sale comes as the housing market has been rising in the exclusive bayside neighbourhood of Brighton, where house prices are up 11.5 per cent in the year to March on Domain data.
