Better Homes and Gardens landscaper Charlie Albone buys a $2.35million fixer upper in Sydney’s Maroubra
New Better Homes and Gardens landscaper Charlie Albone has purchased a $2.35million property in Sydney’s coastal suburb of Maroubra.
The 39-year-old TV personality recently took possession of the red-brick semi, which is said to be a fixer upper, with his interior designer wife Juliet Love.
The serial renovators hope to modernise the house, just as they had done at their Ourimbah acreage retreat, which they bought in 2012 for $840,000, according to Domain.

Jason was brutally cut from Channel Seven lifestyle show after 16 years.
But Charlie was thrilled to get the position, telling fans on Instagram in February: ‘Excitement overload! For those that don’t know yet I will be joining the amazing team at Better Homes and Gardens.’
