STICKS and Wombat’s Elsternwick dream home from last season of The Block has hit the market again less than a year after it earned them $130,000 more than reserve.
The loveable larrikins’ five-bedroom pad at 46B Regent St fetched $2.65 million at the hit show’s October finale, and now has expectations of $2.65-$2.75 million.
The Agency general manager Peter Kakos said a change in circumstances meant the New South Wales-based vendors no longer needed the schmick luxury property.

“The owners bought it for a Melbourne base, to be close to family, and their family are now relocating out of Melbourne so they have no further use for the home,” he said.
“We’ve had it restyled. There are a couple of little subtle changes throughout the home to the backyard and to the frontyard, and restyling, but everything else is the same.”
The regional New South Wales-based Mark “Sticks” Croker and Clint “Wombat” Price were fan favourites on last season of the Channel 9 juggernaut, which was won by Victorians Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker, whose effort was snapped up by Dave Hughes for $3.067 million.
Mr Kakos believed Sticks and Wombat’s pad would do better without the competition of four similar properties on auction day, which is set for September 16 this time around.
“Now it’s in isolation people will get to see it for what it is, and it’s absolute quality.”
Some ornamental features have been removed from the backyard, which has had new plants added, while the frontyard has been turfed since the hammer fell last time.
Furniture, which is included with the purchase on the show, is up for grabs separately.
The transformed period charmer features two main bedroom suites, including one that takes up the entire second level, and a separate bedroom/studio above the garage.
