The six-bedroom, three-bathroom, Lysterfield mansion is hoping to fetch $4.35m-$4.785m when it heads to auction this Tuesday.
Ray White Ferntree Gully’s Jack Rickard said it was hands down the best-presented home he has ever worked on.
“This is hands down the best-presented home I’ve ever worked with,” said Ray White Ferntree Gully’s Jack Rickard.
“It’s not even staged — this is just how the owners live – anyone in Lysterfield would instantly recognise it.”
But, Mr Rickard said it’s the shed, aka the man cave, that’s stealing the show.
“The shed is massive — you could fit a serious collection of cars in there,” he said.
“The current owner has a background in racing and working on cars, so it’s perfect for that kind of lifestyle – people are already imagining turning it into their ultimate man cave, with arcade games or whatever suits their vibe.
“Honestly, any bloke who’s seen it would happily live in that shed!”
Stretching an enormous 12 metres by 51 metres and equipped with 3-phase power, the shed is divided into four sections: a workshop with mezzanine, a showroom with bar and mezzanine, a dedicated storage area, and even a two-bedroom granny flat.
With room for up to 30 vehicles – it’s a dream come true for car enthusiasts or anyone with a big vision for the space.
The agent said the home was straight out of a tropical holiday brochure.
“The backyard is like an oasis,” Mr Rickard said.
“You’ve got palm trees, a pool, and a fantastic entertaining area — it’s a tropical lifestyle.”
The pool area features a pizza oven, BBQ, bar fridges, and ceiling fans.
Outside, the property’s landscaping, includes a sprawling dam with a deck and fountain.
Interest in the property has been as grand as its offerings with most interested buyers Lysterfield locals looking to upsize or bring their hobbies or business dreams to life.
The home heads to auction on Tuesday December 14 at 7pm.
