It is the “man cave” that has people talking; a 168-square-metre, 12-car dome-roofed workshop at the rear of the block with a chequered floor that took agent Tracey Garbes straight back to Happy Days with Richie Cunningham and The Fonz.
The house for sale comes with it’s own man cave built at a cost of $150,000. The roof height at the top of the curve is 5.4 metres and it includes an electric hoist and custom-made jarrah bar.
And like any cave, positioned at the very back of the block, it’s well secured and accessible only through the garage attached to the main house at the very front of the property.
The home is in Beeliar, part of Perth’s rapidly growing southern suburbs and very close to Woodman Point reserve with its beach, parks, jetties and boat launching facilities.
Garbes says the big block has never been subdivided because it is in the Cockburn Cement buffer zone (the cement works is about 1.5 kilometres away) which it shares with a number of neighbouring homes and market gardens.
The home at the front of the block looks to be a 1960s vintage and has been immaculately kept, though has new paint and carpet throughout and a renovated bathroom.
There’s a roomy tiled rear addition which makes a very good size office, from where the existing owners run their business.
The third building on the block is a three-room powered studio sitting between the main house and workshop, completing a very unusual property.
“It is ideal for a family who are into their cars or a business person who needs a workshop close to their home,” Garbes said.
“The workshop would also make an awesome dance studio.”
Now you’re really talking.
