‘All in on luxury’: The Block couple’s beachside flip lands $430k gain

The Block couple Dylan and Jenny have flipped a Coolangatta unit

The Block couple Dylan Adams and Jenny Heath-Adams may have copped one of the biggest losses in the TV show’s history, but the tradies proved their reno chops again with a stunning beachside flip landing them a $430,000 gain in just nine months.

The season 18 contestants — who walked away from the series with nothing after their house was passed in on auction night — are toasting the $1.35m sale of their Coolangatta apartment following a whirlwind three-month transformation.

The Gold Coast couple paid $920,000 for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom fixer-upper at 5/27 Dutton St in January. It was listed by LJ Hooker agent Erin King and had been on the market for three months.

Ms Heath-Adams said they “went all in on luxury” to update the 1990s-built unit with a contemporary, Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic.

“We pulled out all the stops to create something truly special, using only the highest quality fixtures and finishes,” she said.

Property features included a crazy paved terrace with a freestanding pergola, undercover parking with plenty of storage, and a pool.

Inside, an open-plan layout was enhanced with custom Boston oak cabinetry, arched shelving, engineered oak flooring and bespoke lighting.

A galley-style kitchen formed a centrepiece, with Taj Mahal benchtops and a microcement rangehood.

The couple retain the Palm Beach dream home they had started building before joining The Block. They took that property to market in 2023 but it failed to sell, so they changed tack and made it their family home, welcoming first child, Billy, last year.

“Since wrapping up our Palm Beach build, we’ve been itching to take on another project, but client work has kept up busy,” Ms Heath-Adams said.

Ms King said the unit within the Sunrise Sea complex was located close to cafes, The Strand shopping centre, and the beach.

Dubbed ‘Dutton Cove’, the property was a “fully realised design statement”, according to the listing, “offering a rare combination of luxury, privacy and outdoor space in one of the Gold Coast’s most desirable beachside communities”.

PropTrack data shows unit prices in Coolangatta were down 0.9 per cent over the past 12 months to a median of $1.05m.
