Gold Coast couple lived in their new home for WEEKS before getting an offer fromL leyton Hewitt

A Gold Coat couple made $550,00 in just three months after Aussie tennis superstar Lleyton Hewitt snapped up their Burleigh Heads home.

Katie Langston and her husband Jeremy bought the showstopper property called The Palms in Queensland for $3.75million at auction in May 2021.

Just months later they put the home – one of the most states most photographed properties  – up on the market for $4.3million.

By September 23, it was snapped up by the former world number one and his wife Bec. 

‘We only lived in it for about five weeks,’ Mr Langston told Real Estate AU.

‘We moved out before we put it on the market. Even though we were living in Queensland’s home of the year 2021, we were homesick for Koala Park, so we found the perfect location in the same street we lived in previously and sold The Palms to the Hewitts,’ he added.

Within six days off the Deodar Drive home hitting the market, agents Conal Martin of Kingfisher Realty and Ed Cherry of Harcourts Coastal had received eight offers with the tennis superstars putting in the winning bid of $4.305 million.

But Mr Langston claimed ‘it wasn’t about the money’ and instead about their desire to move back to Koala Park. 

Known as ‘The Palms’, the construction of the four-bedroom mansion attracted an audience on Instagram, as buyers and DIY enthusiasts followed its progress on a 539sqm block in Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast.

The house was said to be the state’s most photographed residential property, after it amassed 27,000 shares on a viral Facebook post and a crowd of more than 500 people packed in to see it go under the hammer on May 29. 

Designed around a central hub perfect for entertaining guests, the mansion features an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area that flows into an outdoor entertaining area complete with a sunken fireplace, a glass-edged pool and an al fresco kitchen.

The previous owners, who wished to remain anonymous and declined to disclose the total cost of the house, told Daily Mail Australia they decided to sell due to personal reasons.

Styled by Kira & Kira, a Burleigh Heads furniture business with more than 53,000 followers on Instagram, it bears many of the signature hallmarks of Palm Springs-style including whitewashed breeze blocks, which are designed to keep rooms cool in dry desert climates.

Three-metre high ceilings soar to six metres above the kitchen, making the space feel considerably larger than its true size.

A custom oak staircase leads upstairs which is occupied by three of the four bedrooms which all boast ensuite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes.

There’s also a wine cellar, a home cinema theatre and enormous windows that capture sweeping views of the surrounding area from almost every room.

Listing agent Conal Martin of Kingfisher Realty, who sold the property to the Langston family, said there is no denying it is ‘pretty special’.

‘As soon as you walk in you are overtaken by a surreal sense of satisfaction and calm. People never want to leave,’ he said in June.

Photos of the house have drawn stunned responses on social media, with many saying they would live there in a heartbeat.

‘Houses have certainly changed since I was hanging out in this area! Beautiful,’ one woman wrote.

‘Now that’s an exception to not wanting a flash place! I could live there,’ said another.
