The Block’s Gatwick penthouse is back on the market for second time since it sold on show’s finale

The Block’s Gatwick penthouse returns to the market that was originally transformed by Jess and Norm.

One of Melbourne’s most notorious addresses, The Gatwick Hotel, which had a Block makeover in 2018, has a penthouse back on the market — for less than it sold on the show’s auction day.

The three-bedroom penthouse was listed in 2022 with a $3.4m-$3.7m price guide, then later returned in July 2023 for $2.8m-$2.9m — but failed to find a buyer.

Now its on the market again with a $2.6m-$2.7m price tag, it could sell for $159,000 less than it sold on the renovation show’s auction day more than six years ago.

The penthouse has a wraparound rooftop terrace with views of the city skyline stretching across the horizon.

The 14m-long living and dining area features herringbone oak floors, a suspended fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling sheers.

In the kitchen there are three ovens, a downdraft induction cooktop, two dishwashers and a butler’s pantry.

The wraparound balcony offers breathtaking views of Melbourne’s skyline, making this penthouse one of St Kilda’s most exclusive properties.

The Italian marble ensuite has a eye-catching freestanding bath and designer finishes.

Outside, the integrated gas BBQ and louvred pergola extend the entertaining space to the terrace.

Whitefox Bayside director Lana Samuels said the interest has been immediate and overwhelming.

“The Gatwick is undoubtedly an iconic building and everyone in Melbourne knows it, whether through its history or just by reputation,” Ms Samuels said.

“Even since launching the property on Thursday, the phones have been blowing up.”

Originally built in 1930, the Gatwick Hotel started as an elegant Art Deco landmark, later housing US soldiers during World War II before its decline into one of the city’s most infamous boarding houses.

Built in 1930, the Gatwick Hotel was once Melbourne’s most notorious boarding house before The Block transformed it into an iconic luxury residence.

That changed in 2018, when The Block took over the site.
