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.

Fairlight has 15 properties currently listed for sale, according to realestate.com.au. The median house price over the last year sits at $2,323,000, and based on five years of sales, Fairlight has seen a compound growth rate of 6 per cent for houses
