Dolphin Point

The Dolphin Point home that got a make-over by the team at Selling Houses Australia last month has been snapped up for $1.2 million pre-auction.

It was sold after 22 days on the market for homeowners Steve and Serena Blakey.

The newly married purchasers from Leeton - she is an artist and he is an ex-farmer - were looking for a sea change.

The four bedroom home had previously been for sale since late 2017 when it came with $1.3 million.

Its price had dropped to $1.18 million late last year, just before its&nbsp;makeover by the&nbsp;designer Shaynna Blaze and gardening expert Charlie Albone.

The asking price dipped to $1.2 million last May.

There have been just five sales above $1 million at Dolphin Point since 2013, with three of them last year.

Perched on the headland, with panoramic ocean views, the 1960s beach house has been transformed by the team of designers.

They added a contemporary feel but retained the retro vibe of the property on Seaside Parade.

Foxtel&rsquo;s Selling Houses Australia host Andrew Winter has been exploring the sleepy hamlet south of Ulladulla.

Prior to the make-over, the Selling Houses Australia team described the home as &ldquo;dated, mismatched and needing a lot of small maintenance jobs&rdquo;.

&ldquo;This is one family that desperately need our help,&rdquo; Winter said.

The Raine &amp; Horne Mollymook Milton agent Ben Pryde who secured the sale said it had &quot;been a whirlwind, but loads of fun&quot;.

&ldquo;The show will really showcase our region as a jewel on the South Coast.&rdquo;

Pryde said more than 80 turned out for the reveal open for inspection.

The Selling Houses Australia episode focusses on the lives of Steve and Serena Blakey and their four kids, who have loved the last 17 years living on the coast since paying $405,000 in 2002.

It&rsquo;s been a wonderful place for the couple to raise kids and indulge their passion for surfing, but a few years ago their world was rocked when their youngest son contracted encephalitis (inflammation on the brain).

The family are selling up to fund his treatment.

Dolphin Point trophy home sold after Foxtel’s Selling Houses Australia makeover

A Dolphin Point home will go under the hammer in March after receiving a make-over by the team from Foxtel&rsquo;s Selling Houses Australia.

Perched on the headland, with panoramic ocean views, the 1960s beach house has been transformed by the team of designers.

They added a contemporary feel but retained the retro vibe of the property on Seaside Parade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30049 project_image_fid=162884]

The sleepy hamlet south of Ulladulla has been a hive of activity throughout February as teams of tradespeople worked their magic under the guidance of designer Shaynna Blaze and gardening expert Charlie Albone.

Foxtel&rsquo;s Selling Houses Australia host Andrew Winter has been exploring the area.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/2/25/Dolph2.jpg" />

The Raine &amp; Horne Mollymook Milton agent Ben Pryde will auction the&nbsp;property&nbsp;on March 23.

Pryde said he was excited to have the make-over team in Dolphin Point, working with homeowners Steve and Serena Blakey.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a whirlwind, but loads of fun,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;The show will really showcase our region as a jewel on the South Coast and the weather has been absolutely perfect for every day of filming other than a spectacular storm in the final hours of the renovation.&rdquo;

Mr Pryde said more than 60 parties inspected the property before the make-over, with more than 80 turning out for the reveal last weekend.

The Selling Houses Australia episode focusses on the lives of Steve and Serena Blakley and their four kids, who have loved the last 15 years living on the coast.

Prior to the make-over, the Selling Houses Australia team described the home as &ldquo;dated, mismatched and needing a lot of small maintenance jobs&rdquo;.
