18 Nicholson Street, Olinda VIC 3788

This private and serene weatherboard gem on 1034m2 proves the magic of the treehouse doesn't have to fade after childhood. Encased by the dancing canopy of surrounding gums and cocooned in the secluded beauty of the forest, a life serenaded by nature’s chorus awaits the lucky owner ready to start their next chapter in the hills. A bonus is the secure, long-term tenant in place who would be happy to stay on also making this a stress-free investment with the potential to provide further income from the downstairs zone if it was converted to self-contained. Just footsteps from the village, benefit from the quietude of its privileged no-through-road setting, whilst still being close to boutique shops, chic cafes and the local primary school.
