The old house was purchased at auction by Evoke Developments in October 2014 and the company's three directors have spent more than a year working tirelessly on it to create a lavish home. Tonight the Leighton St property will go up for auction at 6pm.
Barfoot & Thompson agent Matt O'Brian said no pre-auction offers had been made on the villa however there had been interest from buyers offering above $2 million for the property.
He said "quite a few people" were expected to attend tonight's auction.
The existing villa now features three bedrooms, bathroom, TV room and laundry, and the addition boasts open-plan living and kitchen, upper level master bedroom, ensuite and office with state of the art fittings.
