After failing to sell their Daylesford Block home at last year’s auctions, Emma and Ben made the decision to put their own Mornington home up for sale – and the home is officially under offer.
Emma and Ben originally purchased the home in 2022, when their plan for a “quick flip” turned into a “much bigger project,” the couple explained on Instagram, sharing that it took them “2 years longer than expected, but gosh did we have some fun and learn a lot along the way.” Emma and Ben also added that “this chapter hasn’t quite finished yet,” which has left us rather curious.
The couple announced the sale of their home back in November during an interview with Mamamia.
“We currently have our own home up for sale. We completed the renovation on this one just before we went on The Block. And to be honest, it’s like our dream home, but we’re just 10 years too early,” the couple told Mamamia.
“Our plan was to see how we go on The Block and if we made any money on the show, we would have loved to have stayed living there. However, we are still in limbo with The Block house, so we thought best to sell it and move on. Sad.”
The home, which has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, has been listed between $1.75 and $1.925 million on realestate.com. The couple have already renovated the home in a Hamptons-inspired style that suits the local Mornington area.
While Emma and Ben seemed to be having a successful journey on last year’s season of The Block, everything fell apart at the auctions, when their home passed in at $20,000 below its $2.99m reserve.
With their Block home still not sold, the couple’s decision to sell their own home is an understandable one. Fortunately, their challenging end to the Block doesn’t seem to have put them off renovating a property in the future, with the couple telling Mamamia, “we would love to either do another renovation or a brand-new build. For either option, you’ll be seeing a lot more home reno love on our Ben and Em Instagram.”
We’re excited to see what the couple do next.
