Manu buys in Maroubra for $1.9 million

My Kitchen Rules judge and co-host Manu Feildel has bought a Maroubra semi for $1.9 million.

Manu Feildel and wife Clarissa Weerasena won't be far from co-host Pete Evans and his fiancee Nicole Robinson, who are undertaking renovations to the Malabar residence they bought in 2013 for $1.44 million.

Manu Feildel bought the five bedroom 1930s semi off market through Shane Vincent at Belle, who sold it previously in 2008 when at NG Farah.

It last traded pre-renovation (pictured above) in 2008 at $691,000 when sold to John and Christine Nettle of Nettle Constructions whose newly renovated home had two potential buyers placing offers with the property quickly sold prior to auction.

The renovation (pictured below from Google streetview) turned it from a two bedroom into a five bedroom home.

Feildel's solicitor Ian Day lodged the purchasing paperwork late last week.
