Steph and Gian set a new record on The Block on Sunday when their incredible five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Hampton East went under the hammer for $5 million.
The two 27-year-old fan favorites ended up walking away with $1.65 million in winnings and an additional $100,000 in prize money.
That broke the May 2021 record for the Bayside suburb of $3.1 million.
The couple completely renovated the original classic 1950s brick house into a modern two-story single-family home.
With a design inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese influences, the expansive walkway offers wide open spaces and a luxurious atmosphere.

The furniture consists of natural stone, oak floors and walnut wood.
Highlights include a fabulous covered entertaining terrace, a handcrafted 8-seat sauna and a plunge pool with travertine tiles and ashwood decking.
There is also an outdoor living area with a pizza oven and braai area with bar.
Further highlights include a spacious master bedroom with sitting room with fireplace, dressing room and large bathroom.
The kitchen has a breakfast bar and butler’s pantry and is adjacent to the lounge with a double sided fireplace.
There is now also a private home office which could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom and 8 original works of art by Australian artists.
This broke the record for the Bayside neighborhood, 17 km from the CBD, which stood at $3.1 million in May 2021. Pictured: one of four fantastic bedrooms

Steph and Gian’s House 4 was the first of five houses in East Hampton, 17km from Melbourne’s city centre, to be auctioned during The Block’s grand finale on Sunday.
Because the couple had a reserve of $3.35 million, they feared they would not make any money from the sale.
Thanks to serial bidder Danny Wallace, bidding quickly reached $4 million before jumping from $1 million straight to $5 million.
The house was sold to Adrian Portelli, known as “Mr. Lambo,” who said he wanted to prove he was a true bidder after controversy last season.
Portelli spent $1.58 million on Omar and Oz’s home last year, but broke his record this season.
Steph and Gian’s win also broke last year’s record for Omar and Oz, which stood at $1,686,666.
Sisters Eliza and Liberty were up next, with House 5 up for grabs with a reserve of $3.25 million.
Bidding reached $4.1 million before finally going under the hammer for $4.3 million, giving the siblings a $1.050 million profit.

Kristy and Brett’s House 3 had a reserve of $2.97 million and the couple said they were “not calm” going into the auction.
It sold for just over $3 million, with the couple taking home just $65,000.
Next up was Kyle and Leslie’s House 1 with a reserve of $2.97 million, which eventually sold for $3.1 million after a slow auction.
Leah and Ash were last auctioned, their House 2 was valued at $2.97 million and was eventually passed over when the sale fell through.
