Sunbury dream home has huge six-car garage with wine room
A Sunbury home with an impressive ground floor made up of a slick six-car garage including a workshop and wine room is raising the bar for luxury living in the outer ‘burb.
The lower level looks more like a car showroom than your average garage, featuring its own bathroom, polished concrete floors, white walls and ample space for tools and toys.
The four-bedroom Mount Gambier limestone residence has hit the market with $1.525-$1.625m price hopes.

Blackbird & Wren’s Mary Roberts said the property at 3 Carla Views was custom-built for the vendors, who created the 130sq m workshop-garage with as an alternative to a traditional shed.
“They didn’t want to have a large shed anywhere on the property detracting from the beauty and serenity, so instead opted for an under-roof storage solution for their vehicles and toys,” Ms Roberts said.
“Additionally, it allowed them to elevate the residence to capture the spectacular views.”
The expansive 4000sq m block takes in sweeping “uninterrupted views” from the outdoor terrace on the first floor.
Ms Roberts said the garage-workshop space had room for a home office, gym, or could be converted into the ultimate man cave.
A handcrafted Castlemaine sandstone feature wall, panoramic windows and an open-plan living zone add to the property’s palatial feel.
“Although it was built in 2006 it was way ahead of the time in terms of concept and execution,” Ms Roberts added.
“It really is a trophy residence.”
The kitchen is complete with stainless steel Miele appliances, a walk-in pantry, island bench and granite benchtops.

Ms Roberts said the “hotel-like” bedrooms, swimming pool, outdoor entertainment area and manicured backyard were additional drawcards.
“The gardens were inspired by the New South Wales and Victorian botanical gardens, with highlighting zones and added features of traditional seasonal gardens,” she said.
“We are already getting inundated with inquires and are onto second inspections, so we expect it to move pretty quickly.”
The property is for private sale.
