House 1 at 1/113-119 Justice Rd, Cowes, is back on the market after becoming the unlikely winning home of The Block’s 2024 season.

A Phillip Island home where one couple quit The Block before their replacements went on to win the series has returned to market.

House 1 at 1/113-119 Justice Rd, Cowes, is listed with a $1.4m-$1.5m guide almost two years after sisters Maddy and Charlotte Harry completed one of the show’s most unlikely victories.

But the sisters did not start the home they ultimately won with.

Perth couple Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey originally took on House 1 and spent the opening four weeks establishing its modern colonial style.

Their run included a 27-point guest bedroom and a main ensuite that earned the season’s first perfect 10 from judge Darren Palmer.

But the pair left the competition after four weeks to return home and focus on their wellbeing.

Paige said at the time she had “really mentally struggled”, while Jesse said he needed to put his partner first.

House 1 is back on the market after becoming the unlikely winning home of The Block’s 2024 Phillip Island season.

The current campaign showcases the extensive upgrades and high-end finishes now found throughout the former Block home.

Host Scott Cam backed their decision, saying nothing on The Block or in building was more important than mental health.

Their departure left House 1 without contestants midway through production.

Then came Sydney sisters Maddy and Charlotte.

Maddy and Charlotte turned the upstairs space into separate guest accommodation with its own access, a move the judges branded a “game changer”.

The current campaign highlights a cinema concealed behind a secret wall among the Cowes property’s unusual features.

Aged 24 and 22, they became the youngest contestants to compete on The Block and stepped into House 1 during week five, after the other teams had already spent about a month renovating.

They inherited rooms, styling decisions and parts of the kitchen plan already put in place by Jesse and Paige.

Despite having only days to complete their first main bedroom and walk-in robe, judge Marty Fox immediately tipped the sisters as possible winners.

Scott Cam supported Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey’s decision to leave The Block four weeks into filming and put their wellbeing first with Maddy and Charlotte replacing them.

“From what I’m seeing now, Maddy and Charlotte could be a real contender to take out this competition,” he said.

Darren Palmer also praised their direction, while the sisters soon began putting more of their own stamp on House 1.

Their first room designed entirely from scratch, a guest ensuite, won its week.

They later transformed the mezzanine into a self-contained guest retreat with separate external access, a move the judges branded a “game changer”.

The sisters’ run was far from flawless.

They later crashed to the bottom of the leaderboard after an unfinished guest bedroom and laundry, before rebounding with a 37-point backyard the judges praised for its entertaining appeal.

Maddy and Charlotte Harry arrived during week five aged 24 and 22, becoming the youngest contestants to compete on The Block.

Maddy and Charlotte then made arguably their biggest gamble by choosing to send House 1 under the hammer last on auction day.

With a $1.95m reserve, bidding opened at $2.5m before Adrian Portelli jumped to $3.5m with a single $1m increase.

“YOU JUST WON THE BLOCK,” Cam told the sisters.

The sisters bounced back from one of their toughest weeks to score 37 points for their outdoor spaces late in the 2024 season.

The Cowes property retains the resort-style entertaining facilities that helped make The Block’s Phillip Island site unlike any previous season.

The sale delivered them $1.55m above reserve plus the $100,000 winner’s prize, taking their total winnings to $1.65m and making them the youngest champions in the show’s history.

Portelli ultimately bought all five Phillip Island Block homes for a combined $15.03m in a clean sweep he later dubbed his “royal flush”.

Maddy and Charlotte inherited House 1 about a month into filming after original contestants Jesse Maguire and Paige Beechey left the competition.

House 1 forms part of the former Phillip Island Block compound, where Maddy and Charlotte Harry completed their extraordinary 2024 winning run.

House 1 has now returned to market as a four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence advertised on about 1000sq m.

The current campaign also promotes access to resort-style amenities including a saltwater pool, tennis court, games room and cinema concealed behind a secret wall.
