The Block judges list two €1 homes for €195,000, pics inside

Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer, the two judges and interior designers on The Block, have listed the Sicilian house they rebuilt for Channel Nine’s 1 Euro House. The fully furnished property in Castronovo di Sicilia has an asking price of €195,000 (A$316,000), according to a report by the Herald Sun.The €1 Sicilian housesBlaze and Palmer each bought a derelict house for €1 in the hill town, both of which had stood empty for decades. They didn’t really get the chance to see the properties before the purchase. The buildings were already crumbling when they bought them. They “spent a season putting their own reputations on the line to bring it back to life”, according to the listing on TIPCo.Palmer’s first reaction to the show’s teaser was blunt: “This is so much worse than I thought!” The house dates back 400 to 500 years. Part of it was structurally unsound and had to be demolished. Rather than leave the gap empty, the designers turned that section into an open-air, Mediterranean-style walled garden. The garden now gives the home a private outdoor space, which is rare in a historic village centre.Palmer bought the second house next door, and the pair combined both properties into a single four-level home. According to the listing, it is now a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property.
