Dave Hughes gives fans a tour of the stunning $3million house he bought on The Block

Australian radio host and comedian Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes has given fans a look inside the sprawling $3million property he bought on The Block back in 2017.

On Wednesday, the 50-year-old shared a video of himself walking around the Elsternwick pad, which he has rented out for three years. 

Dave had purchased Josh and Elyse’s house at auction for $3.067million during The Block 2017 finale – the highest bid in the show’s history.

‘Who can remember this series of the block, 2017? Josh and Elyse built this place,’ Dave said in the clip. 

He toured the bedrooms, the bathroom, the living room and the outdoor area, and remarked about the suspended fireplace: ‘Apparently the fire is a ripper.’  

Dave added a message to Josh and Elyse, saying they did well with the build.

‘Josh and Elyse, the property is a pleasure to live in according to the tenants.’

He finished: ‘Good times, good times at The Block.’

Last month, Dave listed the fully furnished pad for rent for $2,000 per week.

On top of the weekly payments, the tenant needed to lodge a $8690 bond and had to be ready to move into the property from May 14. 

In May last year, Dave put the five-bedroom pad on the rental market and asked for $2,000 per week.

On top of the weekly payments, the tenant needed to lodge a $10,000 bond.

Hughesy had previously rented out the property for a rumoured $3,000 per week in early 2018.

At the time, he was ‘having trouble’ finding an occupant and joked that he was so desperate for tenants he would be willing to let drug dealers use the property as ‘a meth lab’ as long as they paid the rent.

Dave had purchased Josh and Elyse’s house at auction for $3.067million during The Block 2017 finale. 

The sale price was $447,000 over Josh and Elyse’s reserve of $2.62million, giving them the win and an extra $100,000 in prize money.

However, Hughesy later admitted he regretted buying the home after finding out it wasn’t worth the price tag.

He told Stellar magazine in February 2018 he was ‘annoyed’ after the bank valued the property at ‘much less’ than the hefty $3million he’d paid.  

‘I went to get a bank loan the other day and they haven’t valued it the same as I paid for it, which is fine, but annoying because there were five bidders,’ he said.

Although Hughesy didn’t disclose how vast the difference in price was, he said it was enough to leave him frustrated.

‘Enough less that it made me annoyed. For f**k’s sake!’ he raged.
