The Block’s Kyal and Kara sell property for $1.59 million

They pocketed a cool $567,000 back in 2014 after coming in second place on The Block: Fans Vs Faves.

And on Saturday, Kyal and Kara Demmerich added more pretty pennies to their bank account, selling a NSW Central Coast home at auction for $1.59 million.

The renovating super-couple, who are expecting their second child, purchased the property in Long Jetty for just $710,00 earlier in the year before embarking on a rebuild.

The savvy pair, who are proud parents to fourteen month-old son Ziya, seemed ecstatic with the auction result, taking to Instagram to share a happy snap in front of a giant SOLD sign.

Now doubt the hefty haul of cash will come in handy, with the stars expecting baby number two in the New Year.

A before-and-after photo of the properties reveals the staggering efforts Kyal and Kara went to, transforming the property from drab to fab.

At the beginning of the year, the Long Jetty dwelling looked just like any other modest mid-century fibro home.

With a single garage, daggy carport and dated window shutters, it seems almost impossible to imagine just how the abode could be tranformed into a modern and majestic bungalow.

The exterior of the property is now coated in coastal coloured paint and features stylish peaked roofs complete with ‘surf mist’ Colorbond steel.

A large lounge room also features floor to ceiling windows, bringing the outside in to complement the laid back lifestyle of the beach side suburb.

The outdoor area  is complete with a timber deck and a stainless steel barbecue, perfect for entertaining.

And a stylish splash pool will no doubt help the new owners cool down over the course of a hot summer.

It’s not the first time Kyal and Kara have put their skills to use, with over THIRTY renovations under their belts.

In 2015 the couple sold a Killarney Vale home for a record-breaking price of $735,000, before going on to purchase another fixer-upper in the same suburb. 

The telegenic couple also frequently appear on Channel 10’s lifestyle program, The Living Room.
