93 Phyllis Pde, Deer Park VIC 3023

Roll up the door of the high clearance shed and there it is, a two-post car hoist ready for the next project, with a fully kitted fabrication workshop just metres away. For the enthusiast who has always wanted to work on cars at home, properly and without compromise, this Deer Park property is a rare find.

The setup begins with a huge cobblestone courtyard that ties everything together and gives you room to move. From there the options open up. The high clearance shed houses the vehicle hoist and overhead storage, while a dedicated workspace is fitted out for fabrication and metalwork, complete with heavy-duty benches, vices and tool storage. A double garage with workshop extension adds even more covered room and comes with its own plumbed toilet, so there is no need to head back inside mid-job. Add the solid steel covered carport and further sheltered parking, and there is space for eleven cars on site. Whether it is classic cars, project builds, the daily drivers, or the boat, van and caravan, everything has a place here.

The residence itself has been freshly presented and thoughtfully updated, so you get comfort to match the capability. Tasmanian oak floorboards have been polished throughout, the slate flooring sealed, and the eaves repainted inside and out for a crisp, well kept finish. Warm timber lined ceilings and a striking brick feature wall give the living zones real character, while the large kitchen, with gas cooktop and new electric oven, flows into the dining and living areas for easy family life and relaxed entertaining.
