Interior designer Tina De Salis has secured $3.01 million for her Castlecrag home, which she's modernised since she purchased it for $2.59 million in 2009.

The 1960s home has five bedrooms. It sits on a 696-square-metre mostly level block on The Redoubt.

Mark O'Brien of Richardson & Wrench Castlecrag & Northbridge had the listing with $3 million-plus hopes.

Edward de Salis and Tina de Salis, who is a partner in Tina & Louise Interiors, bought the house from architect Ervin Mahrer, who built it in 1966.

It was built of solid brick with reinforced concrete, extensive use of Californian redwood, mudgee slate stone walls and polished brushbox flooring.

Property Observer had contrasting then and now images from the two sales campaigns.
