The Block’s first ever winning property sells for $1.4million – double the price it sold for back in 2003 after the reno show premiered on television
The Sydney beach apartment that won the first season of The Block for fan favorites Adam Thorne and Fiona Mills has been sold.
Located on a leafy street in Bondi, the property was originally listed with a price guide of $1.4 million.
But the two-bedroom, one-bathroom ground-floor apartment sold out before going to auction on Oct. 7, the report said The Daily Telegraph.
Located just minutes from the famous Bondi Beach, the two-bedroom, one-bathroom ground-floor unit originally sold on the Block in 2003 for $751,000.
Blockheads Adam and Fiona spent $40,000 renovating their flat over 12 weeks and walked away with $256,000 after a successful auction on The Block.

With an area of 100 square meters, the layout offers a spacious design with a kitchen and dining area opening onto a garden terrace and entertaining deck.
Other features include polished wooden floors, a modern bathroom and in-house laundry.
There is also a private veranda and video intercom security.

Fiona and Adam were considered favorites of the show and ended up winning the season.
The couple later published their own renovation book, Adam and Fionini Renos on a Budget: How We Renovated Our Way Up the Block.
Since then, Adam has worked for Freedom Kitchens and Fiona has built a career in the beauty industry.
In early 2021, they bought the Federation home in Coogee for $4.095 million with big renovation plans in mind, realestate.com.au reported.
They beat out seven other bidders at the auction, with the sale starting at $3.6 million.
