It had been listed with $2.2m hopes.

Their latest purchase won’t require too much renovation work this time as it was marketed by LJ Hooker selling agents as an inspired contemporary take on a classic 1900s beach house.

The reinvented single level cottage, which delivers a ­relaxed retreat for year-round entertaining on its 250sqm block, had been listed with $2.2m hopes. It comes with an alfresco space with built-in barbecue. It last sold at $1,776,000 in 2015.
