There’s a chance to live like property expert and television host Andrew Winter, with his latest personal project up for grabs.

How do you know when a house has had a top-notch renovation?

When it has been completed by a real estate expert who is a familiar face on Australia’s top property television shows.

Selling Houses Australia and Love it or List It host Andrew Winter and his wife Caroline are selling their glamorous Sanctuary Cove home.

What was once a Tuscan-inspired five-bedroom house is now a sophisticated, luxurious and modern home after a year-long makeover.

The makeover has a sleek and sophisticated style.

Kitchen goals.

Winter and his family are selling to move south with a knockdown rebuild on the cards.

“We did a total renovation across 2017-2018 from top to bottom,” he said.

“What we didn’t change was the original architecture or layout of the build.

“It had the most perfect orientation for its block, all the bits that need the sun get the sun and the bits that need shade, get shade.”

Despite being a property expert and having a number of flips under his belt, Winter said no reno was without its challenges.

“The most important thing we have learnt is nothing ever goes completely to plan, the hardest part is the management of the whole thing,” he said.

Winter said the biggest mistake was living in the house during the renovation.

“We decided we could still live in the property if we did it in two stages, my kids and my wife are saying it’s never happening again.”

The high-end renovation has everything you would expect from a property expert.

It has luxurious fixtures and fittings throughout.

The highlight of the property is the main living area with water views over Coomera River.

The luxe kitchen sits below a daring black ceiling and trendy pendant light, while gold tapware, integrated appliances, bespoke joinery and porcelain benchtops set the cooking zone apart.

“I’m rather proud of our porcelain-clad front door,” Winter said.

“Porcelain is suddenly a fairly new product to be used in design, all the benchtops are done in porcelain so we used it on the front door as a unique feature.”

The central backyard is another highlight.

The home’s U-shape layout ensures every bedroom, living space and the study have direct access to the poolside courtyard.

The main bedroom offers water views, a private deck, double-vanity ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

Three further bedrooms are in the main house and each have an ensuite.

The fifth bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite is detached offering a perfect spot for guests or a home office.

A resort-style backyard with a pool, landscaped gardens, 8m pontoon and triple garage are also part of the package.

Winter remained tight-lipped on his price hopes for the house.

Harcourts Coastal Broadbeach agents Glenys Pitkin and Julie Playforth are marketing the property.
