10 Sycamore Avenue, Emerald, Vic 3782

Steeped in history and rich in character, this century-old residence is part of the Nobelius Heritage Estate, once linked to Emerald's famous country club. Set on one acre (approx.) of botanical beauty, with dual street frontages (Sycamore & Poplar), it offers an exceptional opportunity for families, heritage lovers, or those with an eye for restoration and development.

Evoking the romantic grandeur of a bygone era, this home stands proudly with dual-level verandahs, reminiscent of a colonial homestead, where afternoons are best spent on the breezy upper deck, savouring tea from the plantation.

With a flexible floor plan, the home's upper level features a formal dining room, large living area with an open fireplace, and a charming sun room, while the cottage-style kitchen is primed for a revival. Three generously sized bedrooms, one of which could serve as a study, are complemented by a full bathroom and a separate WC. An internal staircase leads to the lower level, offering additional living flexibility.

Use as an extension to the main dwelling or as self-contained accommodation, complete with a private entrance, kitchenette, living area, and separate bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite - perfect for extended family, guests, or even rental income.

Beyond the home, the detached Brighton Beach Box-inspired studio offers further versatility as a fifth bedroom or creative retreat, while the Man Cave / She Shed, with its rustic fence-paling cladding, is an inviting escape.

The garden is a treasure trove of fruit trees, including plums, apples, feijoas, and passionfruit, alongside fragrant roses, olives, and rosemary, all embraced by drystone bluestone walls reminiscent of an Edna Walling design.
